Husband says I’ve signed over the house to him without me knowing

My husband often jokes that he has tricked me into signing the house over to him. He has said it for years. It’s really tedious but last night he said it again and added ‘check the deeds’. We paid off our home about 10 years ago and it is quite a valuable property for our area.

There have been occasions when I am busy working and he has put papers in front of me and asked me to sign so he can get them in the post (mainly to do with correspondence to our accountant for example).

But this is not possible surely? I mean as a married couple I am entitled to half anyway aren’t I? He is playing mind games with me and I’m not sure what to believe anymore

It is a martial asset. You don’t need to be on the deed or the mortgage to be entitled to 50%.

Why does he make this joke? It’s clearly not funny.

Probably doesn’t understand divorce law so his “funny joke” doesn’t even make sense

Thank you. I’m ok. My husband has always had a weird sense of humour and it seems to be getting worse lately as he has a couple of health concerns which is also effecting him mentally. Rather than being typically depressed, it’s made him more sarcastic and what he calls ‘jovial’, normally this is not a problem as I know him so well, but I was second guessing lately as maybe I’m not in a great place myself.

I did sit him down and he said ‘do you ever think I would do anything like that? You are the most important person in my life and I love you more than anything’. This did make me feel better, but he can’t seem to get past this sarcasm and ‘jokes’.

In case OP is still on MN…

His avowal of love sounds fake. Next time he jokes about the house say ‘well I’ve been fucking your friend Dave for 10 years.’
