<prompt> Human: My boyfriend and I have been dating for several years, and I have recently found a house that I would like to purchase. He already owns a home, and Im just paying him rent currently. He has said that he would like to buy this house with me, but has been changing his mind back and forth for the last two weeks weve already had our offer accepted, and our last day to back out is at the end of the week. My plan was to purchase it myself and move out of his condo, but were both worried that this might cause our relationship to end. If we do buy this house together and it doesnt end up working out, what would our options be for removing one of us from the mortgage? And how do we decide who gets the house in that event? Are there specific precautions that we should take prior to signing the closing documents? Any help is appreciated!  <response>: You cant remove someone from a mortgage. You would need to refinance. Dont buy a house with someone you arent married to.
