I feel like I'm falling out of love with my DP and desperately need some advice.
Been together 8 years, lived together for 6 and a half. He has a son from previous relationship who I adore and we see him every other weekend and once during the week.
DP owns the house (I had bad credit when we moved in together so mortgage is in his name only). I'm not on the deeds and we aren't engaged.
I feel financially vulnerable and have had many chats about this with DP which always end with me feeling fobbed or unreasonable for bringing it up. He says as soon as my credit rating improves that he will put me on the deeds. He won't get a will (again fobbed off if I bring this up), so all I own is the clothes in my wardrobe. I pay half of the mortgage and towards bills.
I do all of the housework and gardening and I'm starting to resent doing these things in a house and garden that I have no legal rights to.
Up until recently I was desperate for him to propose but now I just feel empty. He says he loves me but I am starting to think I'd be no better worse off on my own as nothing in this house is really 'mine'.
I'm not really sure why I'm posting, I just feel so sad and also scared of the prospect of leaving him.
