We have been together 4 years and 3 months, I have owned the flat 5 years. He has lived with me for the past 3 and half years.
Since posting he has pretty much come around to saying he's okay with giving me £100 towards it but I sense he's still not keen.
I suppose my point of view is that we're practically married, we plan to have kids and buy a house together. The whole debate has worried me a little bit that money is going to become a huge issue with him, I'm a kind of whatsmineisyours person and the debate over this has already made me feel a bit more selfish and a little less inclined to be generous. I feel guilty about that but there you go. I'd like to think if things were the other way around I'd be happy to contribute.
Bah! It's a bugger.
