My greatuncle died, left me 5k in his will. Which was transferred to my bank account today. We need some work doing on our house, its not an issue, we're financially stable in general and we're slowly getting through the work we want doing. This 5k is a nice little plus. My partner started talking about the house work and putting the 5k towards it. Don't get me wrong we've already had a bunch of work done, using both his and my money, splitting the costs and what not.

I told my partner "Yeah, thats fine, I'm willing to put 2.5k into the house, the other 2.5k I'm keeping for myself, though. To buy things I want." Which turned into an small argument where he tried to point out that a particular job (that isn't really a high priority tbh) could be done sooner if I put the whole 5k towards it. I told him it wasn't a high priority job, and no, I will put half towards the house, and half for myself." He called me a little selfish, which then escalated the argument. In turn I brought up the fact that when his Grandad died 6 years ago and he got some money, I didn't tell him AT ALL what to do with it, as that was HIS inheritance, and HIS money to do whatever he wants with, and he did. He bought himself a new top of the range computer, and some other pricey things that he wanted. He then said that wasn't fair of me to say, as 6 years ago, we didnt want all this work being done on our house. I said that didn't matter, this is MY inheritance money, and I'll do whatever I want with it, and that he should be grateful that I'm putting HALF towards the house.

AITA?
