I really don't give a shit how much you paid, or didn't pay. I wasn't even talking to you ! Yes, both parties have to be reasonable, in this case, it sounds like he's being told what and how much ! My comment didn't "suggest" anything, it's painfully straightforward. Nobody cares you got your money back, make your own post if you wanna talk about your life... If this guy would be confident to get it back, he wouldn't worry about it. Now get lost.
I haven't insulted anyone or any tradition, but you sound like the guy who paid way too much! But if you want to play the "tradition" card, it use to be evaluated by her age, level of education, if she is still a virgin, which back in the old days. Based on the picture, I think that ship is sailed. It looks like this guy is being pushed around, and I just gave my honest advice, so keep your passive agressive frustration for yourself.
It sounds like a scammy business transaction ! Tell her you can't or won't pay for marrying her, if she refuses, then you have your answer. If she accepts you'll have plenty of time to help whoever YOU decide to help.
thanks for your answer. I know what the covid extension is for, my country just announced closing borders for outside EU travelers, so I totally qualitfy for it. I don't know where you get that I'm trying to fit a holiday... I'm trying to escape the smoke season, I have asthma. As I said, I already checked with CMU.
Not only you can have your name on the lease, but you SHOULD. Without it, you won't be able to get your TM30 which is mandatory. I assume the owner want to use you fiancée name because she don't want to deal with having a foreigner.
