<prompt> Human: Hey guys - So we are moving to a more sleepy area for my GF job she just got. Her and I are doing pretty well, but there is a chance we might not work out. Im not saying we are planning to break up, we just arent 100 getting married or anything.This new area where she is working is kinda meh neither of us want to be there long term. So we have a few options. You may try to bring up additional options, but these are it. We have considered all the others, and they dont work for various reasons.1. Buy a house in that area. Im not super keen on this because if we break up I dont want to have a house in that area. We could get a nice condo for 200K.2. Buy a house in the area we love and I love. I would be fine owning a house here for a VERY long time. The issue is its an hour each way from this job she is planning to be at for 3-4 years. This would be awesome to live here, but would be difficult for her. The houses we are considering range from 250-330K.3. Rent in the area. I like my privacy so I want a side by side at minimum. We can get a VERY nice rental condo equivalent for 1800 a month. If she is going to stay there 4 years renting just feels like throwing money away NYT rent vs buy kinda backs that up at 1800 a month, but like I said Im comfortable buying a home in that area because it feels to quick for this stage of the relationship.Thoughts?  <response>: Virtually EVERYONE here is going to tell you not to buy a house with someone you are not married to. Im not super keen on this because if we break up I dont want to have a house ...Go with your gut. Renting is 100 times safer.
