We have two properties. I purchased one of the houses under my name and we setup a special warranty deed so the equity would be split 50/50 and vice versa. We split the mortgage costs fair share. Reason why we did this and not just mortgage both together was since we had properties before we started dating. And we commute between both cities and split our time tgt between each, kind of like a pied a terre.

This is a good idea. May I ask if you had a real estate attorney involved at all in the process?

My SO and I rented an apartment for several years. We moved back into my childhood home (nearby) last year after my dad died, to take care of my sick elderly mother.

I’m currently in an apt now with my partner and it has been great but now our needs are for a bigger space. If we could find a large apt that’s not $4k I would have def wanted to stay in one. 😞

I bought a condo while with someone I’d been with for 5 years. Decided it was best to only put it in my name in case we ever broke up. We ended up breaking up a year later. Clearly the right decision for me.

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.
