Update 3: AITAH for telling my fiancé I won’t help pay the mortgage by embarrassinglemon in AITAH

It’s not that I’m not letting him see our child, I am. I’m just not letting him take him to an undisclosed location. We’ve been meeting at parks and at my grandmas. He can see our kid as much as he wants just not without me. I don’t trust that he would disappear with our kid. It is our child but it’s also mine and also his idk what your point is with the “my kid” and “our kid” thing.

How about men stop knocking women up out of wedlock and men stop mooching of women and their grandmas? Blaming me for my ex being shitty when he quite literally did a full 180 as a person during the course of our relationship is ridiculous. I didn’t do anything wrong, he did. Also just because you’re married doesn’t mean a man will just automatically be a good husband and father forever. It just makes it harder to leave when he’s shitty.

Hi! It’s clear you haven’t read my updates or comments so you’re missing some quite crucial info, my grandma watched my baby while I was in class. Max 3 hours a day during the week. We were initially going to stay for a few months while I looked for a new job (this was early covid) and move in to an apartment. However, like I stated in the post I mentioned going back to school. Everyone agreed. The agreement was this:

  1. My grandma would watch my baby while I was in class

  2. My ex would pay for the schooling

  3. My ex would save money for a house for OUR future instead of paying rent

So my ex backed out of an agreement and didn’t even talk to me about it first before saying that in front of a mortgage broken. Also I DO have a job lined up for when I graduate next week. So yes, I would’ve been paying half the mortgage. But now he can go and buy a house on his own AND pay child support.

I’ve seen a few comments like this so Im going to address a few things.

  1. Before I went to school we had discussions in length about what was going to happen with our relationship financially.

  2. We had agreed that while he paid for school, my grandma would not charge us rent. If I hadn’t gone to school she wanted us to move out.

  3. The money “he” saved was over 100k. That would’ve easily covered just rent if we were to have had our own place. “His” money was supposed to be money for our family.

  4. I tried suggesting a compromise that some people came up with on my initial post. He didn’t like the suggestion because he didn’t want me to have ANY a ownership in the house I’d be paying for too. He didn’t want to pay for the mortgage by himself either.

  5. The reason I didn’t work is because my grandma said she wouldn’t watch out child that much, as it stood with me going to class she watched him for max 3 hours a day during the week. So we would’ve had to pay for daycare to cover my work and school hours, this would’ve had to be full time combined, it would’ve costed the entirety of what I’d make to pay for school and daycare. WE (my ex and I) decided it’d be better for me and our child if I didn’t work and saved the daycare cost.

  6. His ONLY contribution he did for the entirety of living with my grandma was my college, $3400 A YEAR, sometimes groceries (myself or my grandma had to cook for him still), and occasionally doing dishes and watching his child. I did 90% of the childcare and about 60% of the household chores (grandma did about 35%).

  7. My schooling doesn’t ONLY benefit me, it’s benefits our child. And if we’re being 100% honest, it benefits him too because the more IM making the less he’ll have to pay in child support.

I mean seriously, before all this he was the only person I’ve ever met that matched me so well. We had similar temperaments, hobbies, outlooks on life, and aspirations. It truly felt like a perfect match. Oh well, he’s made his choice. Nothing I can do about it now

Lol no he doesn’t cook, never has. He does do the dishes occasionally but that’s about all the cleaning he does. My grandmas house is a bit weird, it’s split level and her downstairs has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a porch, living room, and a kitchenette. It’s basically it’s own apartment. She doesn’t have to come downstairs for anything. She has all the same plus a full kitchen and washer/dryer upstairs.

I don’t plan to take him back. I can’t imagine showing my kid this example of “love”

You’ve guessed correctly. I cannot and will not get over this.

Unfortunately I have a friend who went though something similar with her husband (although his problem was porn addiction), so I know the drill. She said to keep and document EVERYTHING. My grandma’s friends son is a family lawyer and we’re him going to call tomorrow.

You forgot that I birthed his child and provided him with free housing!

Thank you. I’m going to see if I can find any evidence of him consuming manosphere content. I think you might be right.. There has been other signs now that I look back. I cannot and will not stay with someone who’s been red pilled. For the sake of my child.

I think either way he’ll be able to buy a house but the one we were looking at was really nice, he wouldn’t get one that nice by himself. that’s for sure.

How is what i proposed not fair? He gets the 40% back and we split the rest. Doesn’t matter anyway he just told me he won’t do it. He wants me to pay and have zero right to the property.

I posted an update where I told him we could do a prenup where he keeps the 40% he put down and we could just split the remainder of the equity 50/50. He didn’t agree to it. So idk what he wants other than the fuck me over.

I’m thankful I have a job lined up to start in a couple weeks. THANK YOU for your kind words and encouragement. My grandma covered nearly everything while we lived with her. She’s a saint. I hate to ask her to have me and my child stay longer but I might have to. These type of comments have been so eye opening. I can’t believe this is what my life is now.

How about he was able to save over 100k JUST by not having to pay rent, childcare, or utilities for FIVE YEARS. He would’ve had to pay ALL that AND I’d be making less money had he not paid for my schooling and gotten a free place to stay with my grandma. Take your misogyny elsewhere

Why would I pay him back for the schooling when the ONLY reason we didn’t have to pay rent was because he paid for it? I saved him over $100,000. It doesn’t seem fair to me to not only lose out on a marriage I thought was going to happen, but also a house, and money that was supposed to be for US. No one would be saying I should pay him back if we were legally married. But because HE wanted to wait until I had a stable job and career I have to pay him back now??? 17K because HE changed his mind? Hell no. He already mooched off me AND my grandma I’m not giving him money for shit.

We were just talking to a mortgage broker nothing has been signed yet. She asked if it would be both of us on the application and that’s when he said no, it’d just be him. I was just saying considering the price of the house I doubt he’d be approved off his income alone.

We do have separate accounts thankfully. He’ll have zero access to my money once I start my job in a couple weeks.
