Everybody else also thinks I'm ungrateful/unreasonable but I just can't come round to there way of thinking
As some of you will rememebr dp was on about building a house sometimes ago. This has dragged on for so long as they couldn't get planning permission but now it's moving along which is great.
However now it's actually underway I have lots of doubts/concerns that are niggling at me. he thinks I'm ungrateful and others I speak to think he's right but...
I am uncomfortable with the fact that I will never have a financial stake in the house that he expects me to live in. He doesn't know how the finances will work yet but I assume that I will be expected to pay rent(?) to his company (as the business will own it)?? he can't give me a straight answer.
He wants a bar. I don't. He's told me he's having it. Will this mean he's having his mates back all weekend? probably. I'm thinking over my dead body. At the same time I'm thinking is this what it'll be like, his way or nothing.
I don't know if I'll get any say in what the house looks like or the kitchen etc
What if we want something like a new kitchen? will I be bale to haev the one I want? will I have to contribute? probably but then if anything goes wrong I'll always walk away with nothing.
I'll have to keep my house on and rent it out in case I ever need something to fall back on.
The things is I just feel like now that I might as well just stay living on my own as this house will never truly be ours as such and we will never be a partnership. I'll always be living in somebody elses house.
Does any of this makes sense? its a bit muddled but there are so many concerns and out of each concern there are so many what if's and little niggling things.
The few people I have told about my worries have called me a control freak and/or ungrateful. In my head I'm thinking why am I ungrateful? because I'd rather take on a mortgage with him and be equal than be picked up and put somewhere that he decided. Oh I don't know. Need to talk it through but he doesn't even begin to understand where I'm coming from. I have dd to think about too.
I might only live in a 2 up/2 down but it's mine.. I own it, I am responsible for it, I have in it what I can afford and I make choice about what to do with it based on that. Does that make sense? I don't know. Tell me I'm mad, I think I may well be.
(sorry)
