At Our Wedding, My Husband Claimed He Bought the House — But I Paid 80% of It

I’m Kisha, 24 years old. I’ve been married for only a couple of weeks, but it already feels like we’ve hit our first real crisis. Here’s my story.

Before the wedding, my now-husband and I bought a house together. I earn more, so I paid for about 80% of it, while he covered the remaining 20%. Still, I always referred to it as our house, and I truly believed he felt the same way.

Everything was perfect on our wedding day—until his groom’s speech. I froze when he smiled proudly and said, “I’m so happy to have finally bought us a house!” My jaw practically hit the floor as everyone clapped and cheered. That night, I didn’t want to ruin our special day, so I decided to let it go and talk about it later.

A couple of days ago, I finally brought it up. I asked him why he had said that. He just shrugged and replied, “Well, it’s our house now, so why does it matter?

People don’t need the math. It just felt good to say it.”

But it does matter to me. I worked incredibly hard for that house.

I skipped vacations, saved every penny, and poured nearly all my savings into making it happen. I told him that it really upset me because it felt unfair that he didn’t acknowledge how much I had contributed. He got angry and said I was overthinking everything, making a big deal out of nothing.

We argued, and his voice started rising as he shouted that it wasn’t a big deal and that I was making this “my hill to die on.”

He stormed out and has been ignoring my calls ever since. Am I wrong for feeling upset that he took full credit for the house in front of everyone? Source: brightside.me
