Hi Niki

Sorry, I can't really help, except to suggest that you try to spend as much time apart as possible, so that the 'together' times become more of a treat than a burden.

I made a vow that I would not get married unless and until I could afford my own house, because I refused to live with parents or in-laws. I think that I did the right thing and it is what I would recommend to anyone else. I saved from when I was a child to this end.
