Summary
- Woman has been with partner for 5 years, they have a 2-year-old child
- Partner purchased home before they met, refuses to add woman to deed of new home
- Woman feels insecure and dependent on partner, who also refuses to update will or life insurance
A woman has been in a relationship with her partner for the past 5 years, and they share a 2-year-old child. The couple is planning to move into a new, larger family home this year. However, the woman is concerned that her partner refuses to add her to the deed of the new property, despite her contributions to their current shared home.
The woman explains that while her partner covers the household expenses, she has been using her personal savings for other purchases, and her savings are nearly depleted. She feels that she is contributing to the family by caring for their child and maintaining the home, but her partner insists that she is not financially contributing and therefore should not be added to the deed.
The woman also expresses concern that her partner is reluctant to make a financial commitment, as he also refuses to update his will or life insurance policy. She feels this lack of security in their relationship is troubling, especially since she is dependent on her partner's income. The majority of commenters on the forum advised the woman to reconsider her situation and prioritize her own financial independence.
