No shame in accepting help but she was always on the ball with finances, it’s not like the house fell into their laps. If I had to go from my own house to council or rented it’d be a bitter pill to swallow. However if it meant I was happier I’d do it
I agree it’s a big achievement! I just don’t understand why she was so set on buying at such a young age before they’d ever even lived alone and when they weren’t particularly stable. You’d think they’d test the waters by renting and find out whether they even like living together before taking the plunge
