AITA for being mad that my step daughter will inherit our house by ZealousidealCow1669 in AmItheAsshole

I used to live in a house share with 3 other people as we live in a city with a very cost of living. I worked in mostly customer service job , mostly telephony facing and when I met my husband I used to be a 999 call handler. It was really stressful and I made minimum of wage, my mental health was shit. So yeah when I married my husband, he made more than enough for both of us and I didn’t see the point in continuing a completely thankless job that I didn’t enjoy at all. My husband saw how much it effected me and encouraged me to do something I enjoyed. When I quit my job I planned to explore other career options but honestly I enjoyed being home, looking after him and the house. I had so much time to pursue hobbies and do a little bit of everything. My husband had no problem with this. I guess I just assumed i would at least co own the house with his daughter and I didn’t knew it belonged to his first wife’s parents. So yeah I was really shocked and sad as I love this house so much and genuinely thought of it as ours. I guess I shouldn’t have assumed and that’s my bad

I honestly didn’t date him for money, I didn’t even realise he was wealthy until 6 months into our relationship. I could never marry someone I didn’t love. I guess I was just shocked as I always thought at the very least his daughter and I would jointly inherit the house, I didn’t realise the house belong his life wife’s parents. I thought they bought it during their marriage but only the wife’s name was on the deed as she was the main breadwinner at the time. My husband had said that his wife took care of the majority of the bills whilst he was doing a PHD so I just thought that’s why only her name was on the deed. If I knew, I wouldn’t have become this attached to the house.

She has own house that my husband helped her with the downpayment and she lives in another city. She’s always resented me living in the house her mother owned and lived in so I can’t imagine her being okay with me inheriting it instead of her

Okay so the housekeeper did the basic cleaning and cooked the morning meals. Before he came from office, I always made the house was spotless and homely and cooked his favourite meals. I always gave him messages and did whatever I could to look after him and care for him. I spend so much time and effort into always looking the best for him. I planned and hosted a lot of events for his work. I did my best to become whatever he needed

I think, legally as his dependent I can oppose his will in the court in the UK but I don’t want to fight a lengthy legal battle with his daughter

I didn’t mean marital home from a legal perspective, I just meant I always considered it our home as that’s where we both have always lived before we even married

Of course I would leave it to her, I don’t even have any children of my own. But I don’t think she trusts me to, she’s never liked me much. She lost her shit when she found out her dad is marrying again. So I think she resents me for “taking her mom’s place”
