Hi all, been on Mumsnet lots reading but first time posting! So, thank you in advance.. Background, been with my partner for nearly 7 years and we have lived together for 2 years(renting). I have 2 grown up sons from my previous marriage and my partner has 2 grown up daughters. He owns a house elsewhere which he rents out. I may be very wrong in my feelings here but a conversation came up today about wills. He simply said it was straightforward as he would tell the solicitor he would leave all to his daughters. Now, whilst at present I have nothing of real worth to leave anyone (and that will change in the future), I would be thinking of leaving a large share to my sons but also a fair amount to my partner. I think of the future wherby if one of us became critically and terminally ill (even with critical illness financial cover) it would still be up to each partner to 'take care ' of the other one in terms of physical and emotional care. Is it very selfish and manipulative to think like this? I have to say I don't know why I feel so upset that he wouldn't leave me anything financially at the end of his days ... Am I wrong in feeling this way? I know he would look after me if I was ill and vice versa but cant help feeling undervalued?
