Job dust for Abf?!

[jenmarie]

*BF. That's what I get for typing this on my phone haha

My bf went on a job interview for a position he REALLY wants yesterday. He has a couple of other prospects, but this one includes teaching history, which is what he went to school for. It's also at a strict catholic high school, so there aren't really any discipline problems with the kids. We're looking at a house in the same area as the school, too. We've discussed it, and getting this job would mean engagement and possibly buying a house.

Spare him some dust?

Good luck!! Does the catholic school have strict rules on living together before marriage? A friend of mine is a teacher at a catholic school in a nearby city and he can''t so much as even have a female stay over for a night. At any moment, someone from the school could check up on him. He just got engaged recently and they really want to move in together but are struggling with how to deal with that issue. Obviously he doesn''t want to lose his job. Hopefully that''s not the same case if your BF gets the job!

Much dust to you!

I suppose it varies by school, by I''ve never heard of a Catholic school dictating whom teachers should or should not live with around here. Most of the Catholic school teachers I know are decidedly NOT Catholic and don''t have any problems keeping their home life separate. Anyway, it sounds like a great opportunity all around, and I hope he gets it!

I agree with Kateydid05 and want to make sure that the school he is looking at does not have any sort of rules like that for their employees. I work in a Catholic preschool right now and if we were "caught" living with a significant other or doing something else that was against Catholicism, we could lose our jobs. Thankfully, they don''t check up on us preschool workers as much or a few people would lose their jobs!

I''m not sure how much they check up on that kind of thing, but I do know that a girl was fired from that school because she was not married and got pregnant. So I''m assuming they would also frown upon us living together unmarried.

BUT we weren''t planning on living together before marriage anyway, haha. We don''t have anything against it in particular, but our families (or MY family) kind of frowns upon it. Not enough to tell you outright, but my grandparents have told me they don''t care for my cousin living with his gf. I don''t like to rock the boat. As much as I''d like to live with him, I also like the idea of saving that for when we''re married. We certainly didn''t save anything else, haha.

His mom brought up something similar about me not even staying over now and then. I don''t really care, to be honest. I''m so thrilled that he wants this house with me for our future that even though I wouldn''t be living there for a year or so doesn''t bother me. The house itself is a major fixer-upper, so he wouldn''t be living there for probably another 6 months anyway. We''re excited about it because it''s about 90 years old and aside from some cosmetic issues, it''s in amazing shape.

Engagement was dependent on a job since he didn''t want to take money out of savings without being able to put anything back in. The house was originally a whim, so we''ll see where that goes.
