Lily, three months pregnant, believed she and her fiancé were building a future together when they bought a modest home, splitting the cost 40/60. She sold her apartment and invested all her savings into what she thought would be their first family home. But everything collapsed when her fiancé casually revealed that the house was actually meant for his mother—who would live there alone—while Lily, pregnant, was expected to move in with his father until they could “save up” for a place of their own. When Lily objected, he called her selfish and insisted his mother “needed it more,” leaving Lily feeling tricked into co-signing a mortgage she never agreed to.
Now unsure whether to stay or walk away, Lily is heartbroken and questioning her entire relationship. Her fiancé’s secret decision, made without her consent, shattered her trust and left her wondering if this was a preview of the future—where major life choices would be made behind her back. Many readers urged her to know her legal rights, seek counsel, and reconsider the relationship entirely. The real question remains: Would you marry someone who gave away your first home without telling you—while you were pregnant with their child?
