Me and my DP are about to buy a house together, the first time for both of us.
We are getting a mortgage, but I also have a hefty deposit to put down of 200k. This was not an inheritance, but money I earned and saved over the years - I'm mid thirties so have had a long time to save.
We have a DD together, and we are both committed to our relationship and family.
I am just not so keen to put the deposit down and then effectively have given away half of it if the worst happens and we do split.
DP thinks if I keep the deposit as 'mine' then we would be unequal partners in the relationship and he would be disadvantaged due to owning less of the house, if the house prices rose he would have less equity overall.
AIBU to want to keep my deposit as my own? I probably am.

To not want to give away half my money?
