Obviously the woman doesn't want to live with her partner's mother, but what's strange is that he doesn't mind. Doesn't he also want her to leave? I would question that first and foremost if I were this woman. I would also tell him it's either me or her instead of just leaving.

Why doesn't the protagonist just tell her fiancé that she won't stand for this? They can brainstorm together about how his mother can move out, but obviously the situation isn't sustainable. She can get a job, or they can think of another solution. He can't expect this to actually work with any woman.

Freeloading mother-in-law moves in with DIL and son, MIL claims she “can’t afford” rent so daughter-in-law considers moving out despite their financial state: “There’s no way they could cover on their own”
We all know the struggle of paying rent. Most people in the world struggle to afford rent at some point in their lives. Many people opt to live with roommates to alleviate the financial pressures from the landlord, and if you live alone you're probably paying way too much for the place you have. An optimal solution is to move in with your partner. You love them, you spend all your time together anyway, and if you're on the path towards marriage it only makes sense to move in early before you get married. Living with your partner can be immense fun; coming home to them, the excitement of starting and building your lives together, growing roots and memories in the home.
What isn't as romanticized is living with your partner…and their mother. I wouldn't even live with my own mother, much less someone else's. But in the story below, the protagonist's fiancé's mother comes to live with them. There's no plan in sight for her to move out, and the protagonist tries to do what's best for her, even if it means sacrificing her relationship.
