Search Results: afraid to tell her

Moving into my new place. Previous tenants were there for 13 years. The apartment looked worn down. I told the landlord the kitchen sink and area needs to be updated. But now that I think back the floors and bathtub do too. He mentioned painting and that they placed a new sink area and cabinets.

I'm just afraid the floors and bathroom is still crappy. I'd hope not. I'd hope that he'd get a new toilet and fix the damn bathtub too. It's crunch time and I was kinda rushing to find a place. But it only gave them about a week and a few days to fix the place up.

Now I'm filled with regrets. I have no idea what condition it's in. He told me not to worry but I'm very much worried. My move in date is this week. Can't back out now. 🥹

I am currently facing a situation where I don't know what to do. My family has been toxic throughout my life and has not allowed me any privacy growing up, which already takes its toll. I had to sneak around and date once I reached college because of how crazy my family was about it, to the point my serious 4-year relationship ended over it. Now, I have gotten serious with a guy (engaged), and my family disapproves of him because of his financial status (he doesn't make enough) and thinks he's abusive/disrespectful towards them and me. For example, my mom claims he's disrespectful because he hung up the phone on her while she was speaking. But she purposely interrupted my phone call with him, knowing that got him mad since we were trying to spend time together.

I lived with him (7 hours away from family) for a couple of months before my family got involved. My sister came saying that my mom wasn't doing well health-wise, and I had to leave to visit/take care of her. My partner didn't want me to go, but I didn't want to leave my family hanging, so I left. I came to find out that they planned to keep me here from June (when my sister came) to September/October for a "ceremony" where they could do their rites of passage before marriage. Still, I'm not confident they will actually do that with the way they all have been behaving about it as it's getting closer to time.

However, my partner has his quirks and isn't perfect. He does have trust issues because his last girlfriend cheated on him, so he fought over looking through my phone a couple of times in the past, but that's gotten resolved like other issues we had before. He marches to the beat of his drum, so he'll tell people if he doesn't think something is right according to his morals.

I don't want to compromise my relationship with my family, but I'm afraid that'll happen regardless. I understand my family's concerns about him, but he's not the bad person they portray him as. Help.
