this is a throwaway account!

this whole thing started last month or so. me (27f), and my boyfriend (26m) who i will call Matt for privacy sake, have been together for six years now. I’m the main breadwinner, and that has always been a struggle in our relationship. i would say he is pretty insecure of earning less than me. About a year ago I had finally saved up enough to purchase a house in the neighbourhood I really like. Up until then, me and matt had been living in his apartment, which is cramped, and not located in a nice area. matt has never been too bothered about moving, he likes living in his apartment, and he doesn’t mind living elsewhere, as long as doesn’t have to pay more than half. knowing damn well i could easily purchase the whole house, and it was a bargain for the area, i bit the bullet and bought it from all my own savings. when we moved in matt loved the place, and i thought everything was fine.

now this is the reason i am posting on reddit. two days ago me and matt were over to his moms place for dinner. conversation was going fine until the topic of our house was brought up. MIL mentioned how proud she was of matt for owning his own house at 26 which i was confused about, but obviously didn’t want to start anything at the dinner table. then matts sister chimed in about how much of an achievement it was. matt looked over at me, not saying anything. i’m not usually a petty or confrontational person, but something about the fact that i was the one who not only bought the house, but also payed majority of the bills, and matt didn’t even drop a dollar, stuck with me. so i decided to say something. i asked matt who really bought the house in front of everyone. i know, it was a dick move but honestly i was so riled up by that stage. matt said nothing and then i announced to everyone that matt didn’t even contribute to buying the house. immediately after saying that i packed up my stuff and went home. i have been texting with matts sister i will call Kate, who seems to be on my side.

matt is staying with his mum right now, so i have the house all to myself. he hasn’t contacted me yet, and i don’t know whether its worth breaking up over a lie like this. am i the asshole?
