[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of things, OP.

1. Say no. You're the breadwinner, the responsibility and risk would be on you to pay this mortgage. If you don't want to do it, then don't. Pouting won't change things. Can your husband really pay the mortgage by himself?

2. I'm concerned about your relationship with your husband. You two should be a team, not him with his parents against you!

I'm a stay-at-home mother with no income. DH still includes my opinions into all the financial decisions and has never made one that does not benefit me.

I don't think OP is the only breadwinner, PP. I believe she just said she earns more than her husband. [/quote]

Ok, then she is the *primary* breadwinner.

How does that change PP's points?  [/quote]

I don't know the OP's income vs. her husband's. But "primary breadwinner" implies a major difference in salary to me. In my view, if one partner earns $120K and the other earns $110K, neither is the "primary" breadwinner. (I made up those numbers.) The PP is saying only the OP is at risk and only the OP is on the hook for the mortgage. But unless the OP is the only one applying for the mortgage, that's not true. [/quote]
