I’ve been married to my husband for 5 years, the house where we live in was a gift from my parents to me before I even met my husband. When my husband and I met he owned a condo, later on when we decided to move-in together he sold his condo and paid his debts, there was nothing left from that transaction. We got married 5 years ago, he signed a prenuptial agreement accepting he has no claim in the house and recognizing it as a gift to me from my parents. I also sign accepting to not claim any of his properties if he gets one.
The house is not old and we are happy in it, but he has been pushing me to renovate the house, his salary is more than double mine, so he wants us to get a mortgage on the house to pay for the renovation, by doing this the notary will have to legally add his name in the deed of the house. But I’m not sure how I feel about this, he has been putting a lot of pressure for us to proceed with this.
When we bought the house (my parents and I) it cost 440k, now it’s valued to almost 1M. If he gets his name in the deed he automatically gets 500k, and I’m scare that if ever we divorce he gets half. We don’t have children together, I do have one daughter. He say I’m been the AH for not wanting him to also own the house and at the same time I have pressure from my family to not do this as this is the future of my daughter. I see myself trap in between, but I also think is better to keep the house to myself, AITA?
