I inherited a sum of money a while ago. I work part time and DH (Main earner) works full time
Since I came into receipt of this, DH has stopped paying the mortgage, and said I should pay the mortgage off using the inheritance money. I didn’t want to pay it all off, but instead paid off a lump sum towards it and have been paying the monthly payments out of the remainder for the past 5 months.
We have separate bank accounts, with all the bills coming out of mine. He pays in a set amount each month towards bills (minus the amount for the mortgage).
I don’t think this is very fair but he says I’m being selfish not to (pay the mortgage).
I have spent some of my money on him also buying gifts and a holiday, so don’t think I’ve been selfish.
I have bought a nice watch and several items of jewellery for myself, as I wanted to have something in memory of the person who left me the money.
What do others think?
