I left my EA ex (not married) 5 months ago. He hasn't worked for the last 5 years, I have paid everything. Prior to moving overseas we made a bit of money on our UK houses we owned together and equally paid the mortgages for all that time.
A few years ago my father gave me some early inheritance (enough to help us build the house of our dreams). Recently his father dies and he inherited a sum of money. Since I left the house I have continued to pay all the bills, including extra money so he can live. The money from his dads inheritance remains untouched.
I have suggested as is fair, we split the house 50:50 and his inheritance. I don't see why i should walk away from this considerably worse off than him. His Mum thinks I am being unreasonable, he called me money grabbing.
I am much stronger than I was a few months ago, and am trying to stand my ground with him, if not we will get lawyers involved and he knows this. I am actually furious that he thinks because my dad is still alive, that so therefore his fathers inheritance should be his. If we removed what I put in, and then split the profit he would be significantly worse off. I guess he knows this, and his comments are just to get to me, but do you think I am reasonable?
