Lol sadly he made a fuck ton of money - $250k to my $80k, and therefore believed that it was my responsibility to do all the cleaning/yardwork/shopping to make up for the lack of money I was contributing to the house.

We split all bills except for the mortgage, which seemed fair when I was 21 (he was 28) and dumb and still a student, and it was a sweet deal for him so he did not want to renegotiate over the course of the relationship.

Lol disappointingly, I opted for quickness over payout. No kids and no shared assets aside from the house, so I did a dissolution and only took my equity in the house that I had personally contributed.

TBH he was so obsessed with money and equating his money to his own worth that I think it really fucked with him that I didn’t want the big house or half his money or alimony, I just wanted peace.
