Does anyone live in a house owned by their partner?

[RobinSnood]

Just wondering how you feel about it?

My partner bought our house outright for cash. I believe he is committed to me, and he involves me in all decisions etc (also in the decision of which house to buy), but somehow I don't feel committed to him/our home. I want him to let me buy a small proportion of it (would be about 7%, maximum) but he thinks I'm being silly. Am I?

My boyfriend pays half of the bills (just under £100) to me and we split food shopping in half too.

I pay all my mortgage payments myself. I'm afraid there's no way I'd let him take a percentage of my house.

My wife owns (outright) the house we live in. No kids. We split living expenses 50/50. I'd be a bit taken aback if she wanted me to pay rent, but I'd pay towards work it needed doing. I have houses that I own without her having contributed.

We live in the house my DH bought before I met him. If we hadn't of got married I would have had my name added to deeds/mortgage but as we married I haven't bothered. I invested money to extend the house, but only once we were married.

I moved into my partners house and rented out mine.

To be fair he never charged me to live there as I was starting a business but I did pay for a new bathroom and other stuff.

He left me last week. He's giving me the money for the bathroom but still hurts as he's left with a lovely house which we did up together.

I don't really want to move into my old house so not sure what I'll do.

I'm in the opposite situation because I own our property. I really really hope by now that my partner feels of it as joint, which I do. I would never charge rent, that would feel completely wrong because then he would just be a lodger really, I would hate that.
If he bought for cash I don't see why you pay rent because he has no mortgage, so you're literally just paying him money that he doesn't even need ... ?

He does need it though. OP says he has no income at the moment:

He has no income atm and the house upkeep costs a fortune

So OP is basically supporting him and his expensive house.

It seems odd to me if he's not working due to disablilty - ie long rather than short term - why he didn't buy a flat for 350 and invest the other 350 to provide income for himself.
