Soon I'll be living with a man who I haven't even met
My husband's friend is coming to live with us until he gets his own place near us. They met over the internet, went on a trip together, and talk on the phone regularly. I have joined in a couple of their speaker phone conversations. He talks about DU but I don't know if he posts often or his screen name and have not told him that I post. He also has ESP(I know that some of you don't believe in that).
Anyway, I am sort of nervous about this, never having met the guy in person and living in a small duplex.

6. No, my husband doesn't share
Unless he changed his mind and didn't tell me yet. That would certainly be a suprise.

2. well, if he has ESP
it shouldn't be a problem, unless he uses it for nefarious purposes...

4. My husband does too to some extent
So I'm afraid that they'll be plotting against me and I won't know it even if I am in the same room.
Aren't I silly?

3. Be sure to set a timeline ...
... that your hubby's buddy will have to move out. Beware cabin fever!

5. I saved the local classifieds
There are apartment complexes that I drive past on the way home from work too. I think that there is a money issue but the classifieds might be able to help him with that too. At least he sold his aquarium fish. I was concerned about where we were going to put the tanks.

7. lady, are out of your f*&#king mind?
Edited on Sat Apr-03-04 08:57 PM by kodi
nervous is not the half of it.

what's your husband's last name, gandhi?

while i have no problems with your husband doing what he is, good samaritan riff and all that, but that his behavior elevates fear & danger to you is pretty bad.

if your husband's first priority isn't you in a case like this, you need to question whether or not you have a husband in name only.

i don't like it, and neither should you.

8. Well we are good to our friends
We are both introverted types but like people a lot who we like. We both live away from our families and make our close friends like family. Even though they have lived away from each other, they have met in person and this guy and my husband are best friends. This past year, I leant my best friend my car for over a week to drive over 50 miles back from work everyday round trip when his car was badly in need of repair. We have helped my best friend out in other ways too.
Yes, it does make me nervous, I have an anxiety disorder after all, that I have never met him and he will be living with us. My husband does have good judgement about people though (as I said he has ESP) so I am not in danger. This is a potential friend for me too.
I guess that I'll see how things turn out. He has promised that he won't stay with us very long. He had been living in a place far from his Freeper family and a series of unfortunate events happened to him sort of like the former DUer jicinto.

9. Internet stuff can work just fine
I had never met the roomies in person before moving in with them.

I had never met Xen before he moved here, either.

11. i am talking about the real world where nasty shit happens all the time
do whatever your heart tells you, but mine and my own experience with this violent world tells me that it is foolish to the point of dangerous.

10. Just be careful
Good instincts help, but even the best instincts can be wrong. Your faith in your husband is admirable, but you don't really know his aquaintance at all. He may have motives you wouldn't imagine and could easily come between you two.

I respect what you're doing; I've done the same thing often over the last 30 years, with VERY mixed results. Just be CAREFUL.
