ADVICE GODDESS

TRUTH ACHE

I spent an entire Sunday with a really cute guy I met through a dating app. We kissed a bit, and I stayed over at his place (though I said no sex). Things felt weird Monday morning, so I texted to see whether we were still on for dinner. He asked to push it to Tuesday, but I had a conflict and asked whether the weekend would work. He never responded. That weekend, I saw him out with guy friends, but he basically ignored me. I got him alone and asked him to go home with me. He declined. “Just for tonight or forever?” I asked. He said, “Just tonight.” That was the last I heard from him, and I’m going crazy trying to figure this out.

— No Closure

If you really, really need closure, date a door. It’s normal to want closure: defined by psychologist Arie Kruglanski as “ an answer on a given topic, any answer.” We’re deeply disturbed by “confusion and ambiguity” – a cloudy mess of unanswered questions – and we feel driven (and even desperate) to replace it with a solid brick wall of facts.

A practical (though admittedly cuckoo-sounding) solution might be trying to fire up a quirk of the mind psychologist Elizabeth Loftus calls the “imagination inflation effect”: our

tendency to convert events we imagine and then repeatedly recall into “false memories” we come to believe are the real deal. These invented memories tend to be “stickier” when they include rich detail, like the guy – reeking of BO! – hanging his head and confessing he weenied out of admitting it was “goodbye forever.” Don’t forget to script his explanation – ideally something torment-avenging and wounded ego-soothing. My suggestion: Despite your radiant beauty and extreme awesomeness, he’ll need approximately 65.3 years of therapy before he’ll be ready for a relationship. If, after giving this tactic a good repetitive try, your mental hellscape hasn’t faded substantially, there’s an alternative approach: accepting there are things we just can’t know and shifting out of the “WHYWHYWHY?!” by, say, reciting the alphabet backward or shifting into pre-planned healthy replacement thoughts. The unfortunate reality: Closure should be considered a self-service item, as you can’t control what others say or do – though you could make serious headway by kidnapping and torturing them till they talk. Of course, I’m not advising this – though, to be fair, it can lead to some major benefits: both in the form of answers and in being rewarded for your troubles with an all-expensepaid cozy new home...uh, in SuperMax.

BARKING BAD

I read your response to “Conflicted” (the woman dating a guy so needy he wanted her to ditch all her friends and spend every minute with him). I suggest you tell her it’ll never work out and she should date someone else. — Advice From 60-Something Male

Telling people what to do is necessary in certain situations, like when it’s a more successful battle strategy than “You do you!”: dispatching the troops to engage in the military version of interpretive dance. However, in general, direct advice – “Do this!” or “Do that!” – tends to backfire big-time, revving up a state psychologist Jack Brehm calls “psychological reactance.” “Reactance” describes our fear-driven freakout – our reaction – when we perceive a threat to our freedom to do as we choose. We go on the defensive – rebel against being controlled – typically by doing whatever we were doing...only longer, stronger and louder.

Understanding this is why I’m an advice columnist who specializes in NOT giving advice. I use hedgywedgy language like “you might” and “you could” that leaves big wideopen spaces for personal choice.

Accordingly, instead of telling this woman, “Dump Mr. Needypants pronto!” I offered reasons the two MIGHT be a bad match. I also identified potential stumbling blocks – like being a “My needs last!” habitual “pleaser” – and suggested practical steps she could take to kick them out of the way. My ultimate goal is helping people help themselves: giving them the psychological and behavioral chops they need to render me unnecessary! I typically retell the story they’ve told me in ways I hope will help them gain perspective – that is, understand what they’re going through and why. I then lay out a set of tools – ways they might tweak their thinking and behavior – in hopes of empowering them to dig themselves out. Basically, my column is the advice version of that well-worn fish saying – uh, as I like to rewrite it: Give a woman a fish and she’ll have dinner. Teach a woman to fish and she’ll have dinner for a lifetime...OR – let’s be honest – because my column and I are big on realism: She’ll order her fish dinner in a Paris bistro, poring over photos of a fabulous Chanel fly-casting suit and sketching out her plot to rob the Louvre to pay for it.

THE ARGONAUT REAL ESTATE BUSINESS NEWS Buying a Home as an Unmarried Couple: What to Know

It’s increasingly common for people to live together but not be married. For example, in the past 20 years, the number of unmarried couples living together has almost tripled. You might be planning to wait to get married, or maybe you’re not going to at all, but what if you want to buy a home together? It’s possible to buy a home as an unmarried couple, but it can be a little more complex than it is for a married couple. The following are some considerations to proactively think about before you start the process.

Who’s Going To Apply for the Mortgage?

When you aren’t married, but you want to buy a home together, one of the first things you’ll have to think about is who’s applying for the mortgage. The person in the relationship who has the strongest financial history is the one who needs to do it in almost all cases. When you aren’t married, you have to apply as individuals typically. Go over financial factors like credit scores, incomes, debt-to-income ratios, employment status, and assets to figure out who has the stronger financial standing. Not only will that person have a better likelihood of approval, but they’ll also qualify for better terms like lower interest rates. Some lenders may let you apply for a mortgage together, although it’s not extremely common. If you apply together, it can help or hurt you. The benefit is that you may qualify for a larger mortgage since you have a combination of two incomes. The downside might be if your partner has a lower credit score, and the lender could base their decision on that.

How Will You Hold the Title?

The title of a home is proof of ownership. There are a few options here: • Joint tenancy is one option in which both you and your partner will have equal shares of your property. This will include the right of survivorship, meaning that if one of you passes away, the survivor will receive the deceased’s half of the property. • Another way to deal with the title is called tenants in common. Under this arrangement, you’re co-owners with equal rights to the property. It’s different from joint tenancy because you hold titles individually for your share of the property. You can dispose of your individual ownership. There

isn’t a right of survivorship and the other partner doesn’t receive the decedent’s property share if they pass away. Instead, the property would go to the heirs of the person who passed away. • A living trust of real property is a way to set up the arrangement also. The trustee holds the title for the beneficiary who has all of the management responsibilities and rights.

What About a Cohabitation Property Agreement?

Whether you’re married or not, when you buy a property together, you’re going to accumulate equity. However, you’re not going to have the same level of property protection as a married couple, meaning you might want to go further to protect yourself. One way to do this is to have an attorney create what’s called a cohabitation property agreement, outlining who owns what. This is something you’ll fall back on if you separate. A cohabitation agreement should outline how you’ll share expenses related to the home you buy, buyout terms, an exit strategy if one of you wants to sell, and a process for how you’ll resolve any disputes. Your cohabitation agreement will also include the type of ownership on the title and deed.

Other Considerations

There are a few other things to think about in addition to what’s above. First, if your name is on a mortgage and your partner stops contributing to payments for any reason, you’re both equally liable. If you can’t make the payments without their financial contribution, you may be faced with foreclosure. If you get a joint loan, your name will stay on the mortgage unless you refinance. Finally, only one of you is eligible for the mortgage interest tax deduction since unmarried couples file taxes separately. The best thing to do before buying a house as an unmarried couple is sit down and carefully go through your finances, and make sure you’re on the same page before you proceed with anything.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of the outstanding liens that may exist on the property by contacting the county recorders office or a title company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
