I (35M) have been married to my Husband (55M) for 7 years. Yes, I’m aware of the age gap. It’s a lot more common in gay relationships. But because of the age gap and the likelihood he dies before I do is significantly more likely than couples closer in ages we have been discussing his will.

My husband has 2 adult children. Ages 22 and 24.

My husband is extremely wealthy. Owns his own law firm and does very well. I am nowhere near as wealthy as him but I do pretty well for myself. I told him I don’t need a dime from him if he dies. He can divide the money up between his 2 kids. I don’t need any of it. All I asked is that he leaves our house to me. I moved into his house about 6 months before we got married and I immediately started paying the mortgage and utility bills. He essentially just pays the property taxes on the house.

The house isn’t anything crazy. It’s a modest home in a modest neighborhood. I just LOVE the house and want to live in it the rest of my life if I can. Even though we’ve been married for 7 years the house is still only in his name. When I told him about my request he said he would have to talk to his kids about it first. Not gonna lie I was taken aback by this response. His kids will each get 7 figure inheritances when he dies. All I’m requesting is to be left the house that I am contributing to paying off. The house’s estimated current value is ~$600,000.

AITAH for feeling a way about his response of having to run it by his kids first? I’m his husband whose only request was to be left the house that we live in.

Edit: I probably should have mentioned this is the original post. We have a prenup. In the prenup it says once we’ve been married for 12 years my name gets added to the deed of the house. So in 5 years my name will be added and this won’t really be an issue anymore. But god forbid something happens to him in the next 5 years.
