Separating after a long and eventually contentious relationship is never easy.

That’s where mediators come into play, and if the two people can come to an agreement, you should lock that down immediately.

These two agreed to sell their home, but now her husband wants a different deal.

Read all of the details below.

AITA for not wanting my ex-husband to buy me out of our house?

My ex(38m) and I (35f) Have been together for 17 years. FYI we don’t have children, we both have well paying careers and our annual incomes are roughly the same.

We have been separated for two years and are currently constructing a separation agreement via Mediator.

They came to an agreement on the house.

We bought a house together in 2016. We made the purchase shortly before the real estate market skyrocketed. The house is now worth much more than we originally paid.

Initially, my ex and I agreed to sell and split the profit evenly amongst each other, however he announced in our mediation meeting he wants to purchase it from me.

She doesn’t want to change it for a few good reasons.

I do not want to do this for several reasons:

Petty reasons. We did not have a good relationship. He was unfaithful.

Why should he come out of our marriage a homeowner in an impossible real estate market when I’m stuck in an expensive tiny apartment?

Money. The housing market is very hot right now. People are desperate to buy and there aren’t many houses available.

It’s likely we can get more than our appraisal value if we place it on the market.

I don’t trust him. He is greedy, manipulative and smart. He wouldn’t do something unless it greatly profits him. Given the chance, he would shortchange me and I’d be none the wiser.

Her suspicious nature is also working on overdrive.

PS. I don’t want to buy the house because I can’t afford it. Also, I don’t understand how this is an option for him?

I know I sound weirdly paranoid, but he has a history of hiding money and lying about funds.

So, am I the a******?

Yeah, something definitely doesn’t smell right.

Let’s find out if Reddit thinks she’s being too difficult.

This person says she’s just making a good business decision.

This person also says stick to your guns.

Sometimes we have the right to be petty.

It might be time to get a lawyer.

This is what attorneys are for, after all.

Sometimes we let our feelings take over.

And that’s not always a bad thing.
