Wow. So supportive. You might want to re-read.
I can't rent my house. My parents co-signed on it, and they don't want to be landlords. They have to agree for me to rent it. He won't rent his own.
He doesn't pay a dime to my household. He also doesn't pay for groceries, which both he and his son consume although his son is only there half time. He doesn't reimburse me for the gas I use every day he has his son to take his son to and from daycare (because he works nights and gets home at 4am, is asleep by 5 am, and doesn't "feel like getting out" to pick up his son from daycare after school). He doesn't pay for ANYTHING except his own bills and utilities... but wants me to sell my house at a loss to live in his house in a worse school district and most likely screw my parents in the bargain. I think not.
Back that truck right on up, because you are so wrong.
If you are content with him in certain things, there are things to put up with but those things are a deal breaker in the future marriage.
So whatever goal you have with him, do NOT ever give up your house just for him if he continues the way he is doing. It protect you, your family's interest and your well being and if he step outside cold, he would either wise up or fall flat on his face.
I can understand companionship but it takes more than just companionship to make a relationship a successful one. Hubby and I almost never fought about money or who spend what or what we spend on when we have a bit of cash to play with. With income tax refunds, first dibs would be the bills to be paid off, some will go to daughter and whatever left over even it is a hundred dollars, we like to split in half and spend what we want to spend even it is not something the spouse wants you to have but its spending money that he wants to blow on. Like him, he wants to buy model ships while I want to spend on chickens or crafts.
