Should I Let My Financially Struggling Partner Stay in My Family Home Temporarily?

Good morning, everyone. I need sincere advice about my relationship. I love my partner and hope we can build a future together. However, he is not financially stable at the moment, and accommodation is also a challenge. My elder sisters and their children will be away from our family house for some time, so there may be enough space for him to stay temporarily. We are considering whether he should move in so he can save money, get back on his feet, and eventually move with me into our own place. Business has also been slow, so finances are tight. Would you allow your partner to stay in your family house temporarily in this situation? Please share your honest reasons and advice.

Love alone should not make you responsible for solving his accommodation problem, especially when the home involves your sisters and their children.

If you consider it, agree on a fixed timeline, house rules, contributions where possible, and an exit plan before he moves in.
