<prompt> Human: I bought my first house about 15 years ago, well before meeting the wife. Fast forward to today, married and selling my house to put the down payment on our first purchased house together. The mortgage company put her as the primary on the account and me as the co-borrower. Not that big of deal, perhaps? I know the two titles carry the same financial reaponsibility but its almost the principle of the sitatuion. Im bringing the 20 to the table, i deal with most of the finances in the household, the one to claim head of household on our taxes. Is it petty to want to be the Borrower on the account?  <response>: Yes its petty.
