To buy or not to buy? That is the question for my fiancé and me.
My grandma offered us a place to stay so I could finish my degree and save money. Fiancé said he'd pay for it, but now he wants me to buy a share of our house before we get married.
We're both in our late 20s, have a baby, and have been together for 5 years. Things were great until this house issue came up.
"He said he worked hard for his money and didn’t want to lose everything if we got divorced."
He wants me to pay 40% of the house's value to be on the title, even though he put the down payment. I suggested a prenup instead.
"He said he’d have to think about it but he doesn’t like the idea of having to sell if we split."
Our conversation ended with him refusing couples therapy and insisting I just listen to him.
🏠 The Aftermath
Post-discussion, I'm staying with my grandma as we figure out our next steps.
He remains in the house we bought together while I explore my options.
Financially, he has the burden of the mortgage alone, and I'm left contemplating our future.
Sometimes love and ownership don't mix well.
Mixed emotions abound as I navigate this unexpected turn in our relationship.
