<prompt> Human: The quick and dirty:Wife bought a condo while we were dating in January of 2014. I moved in and started paying rent a hair under half of the mortgage in mid 2015. I didnt put anything into the initial down paymentclosing costs of the purchase, nor am I on the title. Weve split the maintenance of the unit pretty much 5050 since I moved in. Were now buying a house and trying to split the downpayment as evenly as possible, which isnt easy for me as she makes more than I do. I feel like some of the proceeds from the sale not half, maybe 10 should maybe be used in my behalf due to the fact that Ive been paying half the mortgage. Am I expecting something completely unreasonable? it would not be the first time Ive been completely wrong about something. This isnt something we have discussed directly yet. I wanted to run it by you guys first since it has the potential to backfire and make me look like an asshole again, not the first time. Thank you!Assistant: I mean she bought it and rented to you so you arent entitled to anything technically. Landlords dont give their tenants a percentage of the property when they decide to sell up. If she did give you anything it would be a kindness and you should treat it as that rather than as an expectation.Human: I agree with this but also wanted to add that I think its kind of weird that now youre married and youre still concerned that the down payment has to be 5050. You should get rid of this mentality. The down payment should be 100 joint money. Is this something that your wife asked for that you should pay 50 or is this something you are putting on yourself?Assistant: Its a little bit of both. Im admittedly self-conscious re: our income disparity and I feel the need to contribute as much as I can.  <response>: Im admittedly self-conscious re: our income disparityWhy?My wife makes significantly more than I do. She makes double what I do currently. I used to only make 15 what she did at the time. Her making more money than you do is no reflection on you as a man or as a person. Thats 1950s thinking youve got going on there.First and foremost you need to discuss finances with your wife. It may be time to move past the pay your own way model and start to work as a singular unit for common use items like a fucking house.
