Hello,
Just exchanged contracts as first time buyer. Mortgage will be £1700pm. DH put £10k more than me into deposit.
DH earns £2.6kpm and I earn £1.9k, so joint income of £4.5kpm.
Currently all bills split equally except DH pays £200 more each month towards our rent. However, he says when we start paying mortgage, we will go halves so £850 each pm. His reason is that I should be pushing employer for a promotion/raise. He said once I get a substantial raise, he will start paying £200 extra towards mortgage.
I think this is unfair as DH earns more and will therefore have more disposable income. He is also spendthrift whereas I am a saver and I will use saved money for things for the new house e.g. extension.
I think DH should continue paying £200 more than me.
We are also having other issues that mean I feel we are more like room mates at times rather than married partners and I think his stance on this just re-enforces my feelings.
AIBU?
