I dunno why someone is thinking apartment, there have been a couple threads from 3dayz talking about her searches for a house. They almost got one but passed after inspection due to black mold.

She and the bf are very committed, and based on knowing both they will be married soon.
What I'm saying is that this isn't a new relationship. And that they are trying to find the right home, which in our city can be very hit or miss which can draw it out a little bit. It's just how our area is with the plethora of shitty houses and over expensive ones.
