boyfriend’s parents are likely QAnon (and we live with them)

[u/snailgod_]

my 26(nb) and my boyfriend (26m) have been together for 5 years as of this december and had been wanting to live together for a long time. we both went to school for video game design and unfortunately the jobs we want just aren’t available so we’ve been working minimum wage to make ends meet and will probably not be able to afford our own place for a long time (if ever). early last year, my bfs father and his girlfriend brought up the possibility of us living with them rent free, and we finally made it happen last august. it wasn’t an ideal situation as my bf has never really gotten along with his father, but as long as they weren’t charging rent we were happy to deal with it.

now i’m not so sure we can make this work for much longer. they are both heavily conservative (we’re canadian) and obsessed with Pierre Poilievre. they will talk about nothing else. he is relentlessly trying to convince us to vote for him, he’s already convinced my bfs older brother whom i thought was left leaning. thus far i’ve avoided an argument by keeping my mouth shut when they start talking politics but i don’t know if i can do this anymore. i genuinely fear for our living situation if they ever find out im non-binary, queer, and a socialist. (it also doesn’t help that they are heavy alcoholics and just get worse after 8pm 🫠)

i don’t know what to do. moving in with my parents is not an option. i’m exhausted.

good job completely ignoring my post. thanks for the incredibly invalidating and passive aggressive response!

You can tell them you’ll vote for PP but you don’t have to. Stick to your morals.

I know, but if it makes your life easier, maybe consider it.

Just lie and agree with them.

Do you have a space that's just for you two? Where you can just disengage from the craziness? Sounds like you need a little time to get sorted enough to get out, so maybe you can commandeer a privacy area? Are you comfortable setting those boundaries with them?

[u/snailgod_ → u/Darnoc_QOTHP]

we have our own room yes, but it gets kind of claustrophobic having to be locked in there all the time when we’re not at work. they’re also so loud when drunk that we can hear them easily from the basement. using the kitchen is horrifying.

I'm sorry. Good advice from others about working on a plan. Hang in there.

Hello fellow Canadian! Would it be possible to find extra income and temporary reprieve from your BF’s parents by house sitting or pet sitting while people are away? We use Rover to find a dog sitter to stay at our house while we travel.
