"It's nice to have a place of my own" doesn't involve breakup insurance and doesn't lead into a rabbit hole of lies and desperation.

"I don't want to bother you when I'm learning to play the drums"
imonsei
All my shit can't fit into you place, babe.
fartytowels
In case someone gets COVID and needs a place to isolate, perhaps?
HenryLongfellowIII
DO you really want my ugly furniture in your apartment?
wobblecopterrrr
“Well, I thought it would be rude to bring the prostitutes back here.” -newly single you probably
Xaldyn
Well of course he'd be newly single after that--doesn't he know sharing is caring?
kruttlapp
I like the security of having my own place, to store my own stuff, until we can afford to buy something together (can buy you a lot of time)
Notfunnycommenter
Saying: "I'm not ready to fully commit to cohabitation at this stage of our relationship, I need a bit more time before taking that step"
DrDizzyWink
We did this, it worked for us. A “test phase” of moving in together, where I had an apartment in case we didn’t like it. Recommend 10/10
Anmeloe
If you can't be honest, I suggest you rethink your relationship. Honesty is the foundation of a good relation.
psuedon
a place for all my stuff, because it wont fit all in here
thatguywhowannaknow
Wonder if the gf got twitter

"I'm on a five year lease and it doesn't allow sublets, it'd cost me more to break it at this stage than just keep paying"
TheUnstoppableWampas
Smooth. Very nice.

I love my independence, plain and simple. And I can still be in a healthy relationship
CoarseAndSalty
"I'm not ready to give up my space." Would be the phrase that communicates your needs in a non-threatening way.
THESHADOWOFJECT
I had a ps4 in the closet for literal "break up insurance" but said it was for when final fantasy vii remake came out. I didnt want to hog
THESHADOWOFJECT
the shared ps4. I have been single six years now.
sirdouglasbuttersworth
Was that your gut telling you that you were unsure about the relationship? For me it was.
FelonyRaptor
Here's one: "I love you, I want to be with you and want to have my own place."
NemoVi113
Its for when your husband comes home.
EchoWhiskyBravo
The “combining of the stuff” is the most traumatic part of early days of marriage. Don’t know that I would go through that pre-marriage.
ieatedthepurpleberries
You know, I never had to explain this to my partner, because he's cool and understands, but if someone had to ask, perhaps they are not
Frodomann1
“ I need a place to store all my obscure fetish porn and sex toys”
Kittyswitch
Mr. moneybags over here can afford his own place. Why not be homeless after a breakup like the rest of us?
thaaatsaccurate
It's just a really big closet that you can play video games and fart loudly in.
themobileappisbroken
"because we've only been going out for 3 weeks"
Exyr
Heh I didn't sleep in my rental for 3 years maybe stepped in once a month. She knew why I kept it. And yes I paid rent at her place.
theAught
Baller
PaleAsFuck
You could have rented it out
BlackCatCasper
You usually can’t sub-let
PaleAsFuck
Sometimes people do it anyway. But ok. I don't know how it works tbh
NotMyUsualOnlineName
Most rental agreements specifically ban subletting. It's more to protect the owner/landlord from any liability issues than anything.
PaleAsFuck
Or right. Didn't think about they not owning their apartment. Then it's a bit different yes.
MagicalHamFlaps
honesty is the best policy
JacktheKind
Well, if his GF follows his twitter, then... well
GuacamoleMoleMolester
Honesty Bear!

"I like you, but Im just waiting to see if either of us manages to snap someone out of their league before I commit"
DancesWithHippos
^^^ It just is. Sounds like she's at a different place in the relationship than you are.
EyeSpyABreathtakingPerson
True. Probably still try to avoid that exact phrase though. Euphemisms are your friends.
FuzzyWolfy329
Yep. If she (anyone, really) gets offended that you might need more time to feel safe, instead of accommodating, that’s a red flag.
MagicalHamFlaps
if she is annoyed that he has not completely uprooted his life to live with her already that is indeed a red flag to begin with
JoeT85
but it's really hard to explain that you're not sure if she's crazy or not and keep the relationship moving along.
thefirstobiwanCATnobi
Set a day/days you stay at your place. Alone time is important and can help with perspective if you are not sure yet.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Why is the assumption that she's crazy? He may just not be sure if the relationship will last long-term. Or whether he wants it to. Which /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
is totally reasonable and doesn't necessarily reflect on the other person. /2
JustAnotherRedneck
No. No it’s not. Nice thought, but no.

"I need a place to go with my other gf."
Snabelsatan
My wife lives there

"My main piece needs a place to hang out too"
PonySlaystation5
Phew, saved. Close one.
PackedCatMeowingPowerDensity
If she cannot take this joke, she is insecure as all hell.
BarfMonger
"My wife lives there."
Gayforbae
Polyamory win.

Betterbecauseofthem
Where else are you going to store the bodies?
certainlynotaserialkiller
the freezers in your rental storage like a normal person.
Ekibwurm
but where would you cook them afterwards?
certainlynotaserialkiller
you dont. frozen body goes into woodchipper and gets dumped in a lake or sea.
pwntallica
If you're at a place to be honest do so. If not, just bring up the very realistic problem of moving all your stuff into her place
darkhalfbreed
Also a lease, that's a realistic problem too
sircubegm
If you care about her and this relationship, this
HedonistBeard
That's not a great idea because then if she solves that problem you have to come up with other excuses. Better to just say you're not ready.
DaveTheScientist
"Just not ready" is the honest response, no?
WyrdJamie
That's the point. Say you're not ready instead of making an excuse.
mjmac
Or it starts a conversation about the issues and you get to work towards figuring it out together
darkhalfbreed
Just say "the lease isn't up yet"
