My husband and I are living in our first place together .. we are young, and semi-struggling financially. We live in a small studio apartment in the ghetto. The neighborhood is very, very dangerous. The 6 month lease we signed is coming to an end shortly, and I desperately want to move. The rent here is the cheapest around, so my husband wants to stay here to save up the most money possible for our future.
While I understand this motive, we might not have a future if we keep living here! He doesn't want me ever exiting the apartment for anything because of the neighborhood. Theirs a grocery store right up the block, but I can't go to it when we're out of something. I have to wait for him to get home at the end of the day.
It's basically like being trapped in a miserable little jail cell all day every day. I only want to move up like $50 more in rent a month, but he's afraid of the moving costs like a new deposit somewhere else. Should I not complain about staying another 6 months?
