Would you sell your house?

Sorry will try and keep this brief

Me & DP have been together 5 years
We're engaged
He runs his own successful business
'We' bought a house that's turned into a money pit
He's put a large amount of money into it
I want to put some in

I have about £200k equity in my home
But my financial advisor says I'll only be able to release £60k due to affordability

I have 3 DC, only one still dependent (13)

I bought my exh out of this house when we divorced, which with hindsight I probs should have moved but the dcs were younger and this was the only house they'd ever lived in and I wanted the stability

So my question is, do I cash out and sell my house?
I trust DP 100% with money & being fair because I've seen how he is with his ex wife and other people

Or do I keep my safety net?

You’ll always get the ‘all men are wankers’ view on here along with some more useful input - but even then I’d tread very carefully as it’s easy for one person to screw the other over if unmarried (and yes, women do it too)

I would always tread carefully financially to ensure my childrens security comes first. If anything happened to me. Maybe ensure you have anything you do in writing.

I never have and never will mingle my finances with somebody that I am not prepared to marry or is not prepared to marry me. So, it’s a no from me too.
