When I met my partner he already had his own home. He had previously owned it with the mother of his two boys. She left and he had to pay her about £60k - he got off lightly!
I've lived in his property for 5.5 years, we've been together for 6.5 years and we share a 3 year old DD.
He has from day one refused to ever move house and buy one together and told me on numerous occasions that we will NEVER own a home together. After a lot of moaning he has agreed that once the £78k extension is completed (his money) and I give him £50k, he will put my name on the house to which I will only be entitled to half the amount of the equity from the day the extension is completed (so not the whole value of the house).
I understands he's been bitten before and he wants to secure he's children's future, but am I wrong to think that we should be partnership and be doing something together where owning a home is concerned?
I just don't know what to think?? It's probably irrelevant anyway as you'll see In my other posts he's an absolute bastard who I plan on not being with.... but I guess I'm asking as it's something that really gets to me and I just need to know peoples views on it!
I don't own a property at the mo and if I leave I will have to temporarily go back home until I sort myself out! x
