I've been with my boyfriend for 18 months. We both have DC from a previous relationship. Just recently, we have been discussing living together, and how we could make it work (either renting or buying). We've discussed renting together, or if the right property comes up, potentially buying. He's already got a property, and I currently rent, although I do have quite a significant sum of money to contribute towards a joint property.
We've been going to see properties together, sending links to each other on rightmove to various properties, discussing how it would logistically work, what we'd both like in a property. We've talked about how we would split the bills. We've also told our friends and family about our plans to move in together.
Last week, he went to see a property to buy, by himself. I was at work so I couldn't make it. Today, we were discussing the property he'd been to see, and he said, 'I'd like you to come and view it. If you didn't like it then I probably wouldn't buy it.' I was a bit taken aback and said I thought that it was an odd thing to say, as there is the obvious implication that he would potentially buy something that I didn't like / buy something by himself. I said I wouldn't even consider a property that he didn't like and I thought us living together was about us committing to one another. He said that he'd been planning to buy a bigger property for him and his DC for some time before I'd come into the picture, but obviously meeting me meant I had to be considered too, then said 'obviously if you really hated a property it wouldn't make sense to buy it.'
I'm just a bit taken aback to be honest. AIBU?
