Back in January I proposed to my girlfriend. She said yes and we are now engaged to be married. In the meantime, her dad came forward and asked us if we wanted to rent a house that he had available until such time as we are married and then buy the house from him. We accepted his offer and we are now living in the home together and we are renting it from him with the intention of buying it in a year once we are married. We sent him a text in which we agreed on a rental price of $500 per month for a year and then a purchase price of $120,000 to be paid once we buy the house next June. The problem is that now I don't want to marry my fiancée anymore. I am afraid that her dad might try to sue me for breaking my promise to buy the house. Is this text message a binding contract? I signed nothing and there was no notary or real estate agent involved.
