You are 20 years old Almost 21. Has been on your own since 18. Has a job and is really responsible and mature. Is getting married in 7 mounths to a wonderful guy who works two jobs did have three, treats you right and does everything he can for you and to make you happy. You are about to go to the next step in your life. To rent to own a 150 thousand dallor really big nice house. And after the wedding start a family.That's a great life huh. One problem your dad is pissed off because the house is 8 minutes from him. When he gets mad he tends to not talk to you for a month. Bad mouths your soon to husband after he says he thinks he's the best thing to happen to you. And trys to control your life. Talking to him does not help at all. It makes things worse. As does sticking up for your self. Would you get the house despite of what your dad says and be happy. You have never asked him for money or anything else. What would you do?

Do what your gut says. It sounds like you really want this house. Think of the time you will spend in this new house.....most likely years, so one month of your dad not talking to you shouldn't be that bad. Once he gets over it, he may end up being happy that you got it. Well I am not sure why your dad is so upset, 8 minutes is really close and he would be close to you and eventually his grandkids when you decide to have a family. Like I said you sound really happy, way your options....pros and cons, always go with your gut.

NEVER do a rent-to-own for a house. This is also known as "Contract for Deed". These things cause some of the messiest issues with property ownership.
I'm sorry about the problems with your father, but you should live where it makes the most sense to you and your future husband without regard to your father. It sounds like he puts you on an emotional rollercoaster to manipulate you. If it's too much you shouldn't talk to him. If he comes to your house to harass you, I would suggest a restraining order.

Maybe your dad is just worried about losing his "little girl". Try sitting down and explaining to him that you are still buying this house and marrying your fiancee and ask for his support (and hopefully he'll come around, even if it takes a little while.) It sounds like you are trying to be responsible and to make a happy life for yourself so the best of luck.

Personally, I would move to another city. Alternatively, ignore him for that month. You are probably better off without talking to him, if he doesn't add any value to your life.
Of course, I you really want the house, buy it. You are not required to be within a radius of a parent for any reason at all. It's your life and your dad will have to respect that, if he intends to be part of it.

I labored retail at a astounding branch save. on each and every occasion we said a shoplifter, we can provide that individual the perfect "shopper help" they ever were given! It drove them loopy, because the finest situation a shoplifter needs is to be said. If we said a baby thieve a CD or a cassette tape and positioned it in his coat pocket, we may get on the own intercom channel, call different branch heads and tell them. Then, quite some workers from all departments may frame of mind the youngster, provide him a large, tacky smile, and say, "hi! ought to I help you purchase an AC/DC album on the instant?" at the same time as searching at his coat pocket. a couple of minutes later, in yet another area of the save, some different person may frame of mind him and say, "Oh hi! hi there, I heard there's a sale occurring interior the photo-electronics branch. you need to purchase an AC/DC album at 15% off! ought to I help you %. one out?" The shoplifter may frequently get all freaked out, ditch the product, and run. We loved satisfied endings like that. we may a lot particularly they attempt this, than might want to bypass by each and each and every of the hardship of prosecuting them. It labored particularly nicely.

Do what you want to do , it is your life to live , not his . Tell him to worry about his own problems and not yours . What is the problem in living 8 minutes away . Does he feel as if he will never see you , or does he feel that you will always be there for him ?

Do you like the house, buy it. Just remember your grown up now, and I think your dad will get over it.

Looks like you have just one choice.
It's your fiance or your dad.
Only you can answer that one.
