Crunch forces 3.6MILLION unhappy couples to stay together after they have separated
WTF?
The crippling cost of renting or buying a home is forcing couples to stay living together after they have separated, a study reveals.
The report, from housing charity Shelter, found that 3.6million people have been forced to continue living with a partner over the past year because they could not afford to move out of their shared home.
Well maybe they should have thought a bit longer and a bit harder before they moved in together.
The study also found that millions of couples are moving in together ‘too soon’ for financial, rather than emotional, reasons.
Over the past year, two million people admit to moving in prematurely ‘because they could not afford to live apart’.
Bollocks. Stay at home with your parents until you are ready to move in with someone. Ready being willing to commit to a long term relationship and financially fluid enough to rent or get a mortgage.
Don't have children until you are beyond the stage of petty arguments and split ups.
And if you've done all this and things change in an unforeseeable future, take responsibility for your life and choices.
One separated couple with two children told Shelter they had to continue sharing a double bed because they could not afford to buy two single beds and had no spare room.
These charities don't half come out with some bollocks

Am I missing something? Am I supposed to feel sorry for these complete fuck-tards?
What happened to get engaged, live at home, save a deposit, get married and buy a flat then work your way up the housing ladder?
Seems to have been replaced by get pissed, get laid, get pregnant, moan about not being able to afford a 4 bed house next door to parents, scrounge deposit off parents, shack up together, eat out every night, get pissed (again), have rows, fail to pay mortgage, get repossessed, go live in council house.
Makes me fucking sick. Whatever happened to morals in this country? Whatever happened to people with brains?? Whatever happened to responsibility???
As you say "Bollocks!" Personally, I wouldn't give Shelter a penny to piss up the wall.
Although actually, Oxfam are even worse. Don't start me on those cunts...
Well maybe they should have thought a bit longer and a bit harder before they moved in together.
Oh no - we're entitled to anything on the taxpayer.
Can't afford single beds?! I'm signed up to our local freecycle group and people are always giving away beds and/or mattresses and sofa beds. There are also charity shops that deal in furniture, not to mention second hand ads and places like Gumtree. They even have a double bed to cash in!
"What happened to get engaged, live at home, save a deposit, get married and buy a flat then work your way up the housing ladder?"
For today's 'have it all now, bugger the cost' childlike adults, that's probably against their human rights, or something.
Dioclese - Not only are you supposed to feel sorry for them, you're also supposed to donate to Shelter and lobby the government for change.
And you forgot to say get pissed enough. Along with don't feed the kids and expect the school to do it.
Responsibility is dead I'm afraid, my friend
James - Indeed. Anything else is selfish.
GalaPie - (Mmm, I love Gala pies) I also do Freecycle. Loads of free crap. Ideal for people with short finances. I suppose the benefit generation want all new stuff though. If it's not DFS, they're not interested. They've been brought up to beleive that's the way though
Julia - Probably. We'll never break them of it as long as publicity seeking MPs keep jumping on crap like this and saying something must be done though
