[quote=Anonymous]My family have had a small lake cabin since the 1920s. I grew up there in the summers, as did my mom. I enjoy going there now in the summers to meet up with my siblings and their kids. It’s the one place that feels permanent in this world to me. All the neighbors have known each other for generations— a special place.

When my dad dies, us three siblings will inherit the place. My DH is adamantly opposed to me owning it because it needs some work and also because one of my siblings has made bad life choices. So it’s not an ideal situation but it makes me so sad to think of giving it up. We have the money to pay for upkeep— but DH hates going there and prefers to spend that money on things we both enjoy. We never had kids.

I suggested that if he is uncomfortable with me owning the place, perhaps I could just help out my sibs with a share of the expenses. To which my DH said that is ridiculous for me to pay if I don’t own it. It feels like we are going in circles here.

My DH is semi retired and I am the main breadwinner. Another point I’d make is that my DH definitely has a controlling personality. Generally I call him on his BS and he knocks it off. But in this case he’s really being tough to deal with.

Am I being unreasonable? He’s making me feel selfish. Maybe I am being selfish. I just need some good old DCUM advice or kick in the pants.[/quote]
