This 26-year-old man sadly lost his grandfather 6 months ago, and in the months leading up to his passing, he was there every step of the way.
It was hard on him, but he dedicated his time to taking care of his grandfather, as his aunts and uncles were too busy to do so. After his grandfather did pass, he wound up inheriting 90% of his grandfather's wealth.
The amount of money that he inherited is so much that he will never have to work another day in his life.
Additionally, his grandfather left him an enormous estate, and there's plenty of room for him to live there along with his fiancée, his parents, and her parents.
"Obviously, this comes off as a 'rich people' problem, but up until 5 months ago, I was still living in a one-bedroom apartment, working at a rather large supermarket retail store making $12/hour, and going to be paying off college debt until I was in my 60's," he explained.
"My fiancée is still working her nursing job, and we've been fully living together for four years."
Now, he met his fiancée 6 years ago, and they really had no issues before getting engaged. Any time they did encounter a problem, they were able to talk out their feelings and work together to find a solution.
Something that certainly adds to their having a seamless relationship is that they want the same things out of life, such as growing old with one another and having children together.
When it comes to his fiancée's parents, they haven't helped things any. In fact, when he did get introduced to them, they each told him that they do not like him right to his face.

His fiancée's mom and dad have also mentioned that they don't think that he is "good enough" for his fiancée.
He did try to ask his fiancée's dad for his permission for her hand in marriage when it came time for him to propose, and that went pretty sideways. But, in contrast, his parents adore his fiancée and have never treated her poorly at all.
Anyway, fast forward to now, and he is slowly moving all of his belongings into his grandfather's estate.
He and his fiancée technically still have to live in their apartment until their lease is up, so he's getting a head start on not having to move all of their things at once.
"I brought it up to my fiancée how taking care of my grandfather has really made me realize how important my family is and that I wanted to know if it was okay for my parents to move into the new house with us," he said.
"My dad could retire, and my mom can spend the rest of her life relaxing, not stressing over bills/debt (because I can pay that off over time; I'm not insane enough to pay it all in one go)."
His fiancée said that was a lovely idea, but then she wanted to know if her mom and dad could move in with all of them too.
He honestly laughed when she brought it up and questioned her if she was serious, as he couldn't imagine living in a home with people who hate him.
His fiancée replied that inviting her mom and dad to live with them could be an opportunity for them to mend the problems between them.
He made it clear to his fiancée that he had no interest in doing that, and if he could do things the way he wanted, he would exclude them from their upcoming wedding.
"Obviously, this was the wrong thing to say, and now she's giving me the ultimatum of 'let them move in, or the wedding is off,'" he continued.
"While I can understand her side, I seriously do not want to interact with them in any capacity. They've tried numerous times to get her back with exes, lie about me, and even spread a rumor about me being unfaithful until I pulled up real evidence of me being nowhere near where they said I was, thanks to my Google location."
"My fiancée knows all of this and still wants to try and 'rebuild' a relationship with them. This past week, I've been avoiding her with excuses/white lies. I've been meeting with accountants, lawyers, wedding venue people, and jewelers. I've also been spending all-nighters at my grandfather's grave, drinking with him, and not getting back home until 4 am. To me, it feels like my grandfather is still the only person I can vent my deepest secrets and frustrations to."
He feels really stuck. He has no interest in living with his fiancée's parents, but he is terrified to lose her, as she is his dream woman.
