My twin sister and I decided to buy a house together. I'm getting cold feet, but we put in an offer anyway.
Briefly

The author reflects on the emotional journey of contemplating joint home ownership with her twin sister. Initially apprehensive about the commitment and potential complications, she shares her fears with her sister, who reassures her of the decision's importance. Through open communication, they navigate their differing perspectives, solidifying their bond and alleviating anxieties. By discussing future scenarios and agreeing to handle challenges with honesty and family support, they embrace the opportunity together, culminating in a deeper partnership rooted in trust and understanding.
Joint home ownership was an obvious next step for us. We've endured every argument we could have had, overcome many different situations, and weathered family secrets and friend fallouts by each other's side.
I saw that she was steadfast in her opinion that buying a house together is the right decision. She is of the opinion that these hypothetical issues shouldn't prevent us from a major life decision.
Although I still share those same worries, I've decided to stop letting hypothetical fears get in the way of something my sister and I both want.
I feel immense relief after sharing my fears, and even though I didn't think it was possible, we feel even closer now.
