Yeah, I got messed up by us buying a house together before marriage too. He put the down payment down for it and I lived there and paid all the bills for it until we got married (about 10 months). I did all the "home improvements" on it too. When we got divorced, I got less equity because he had done the down payment. I also got the credit card debt which included carpet and linoleum for the house he was keeping! Yeah, I needed a better lawyer.
And, this is a slight hijack and kind of funny story about my ex and the splitting of household chores. I asked him which rooms he wanted to clean on a regular basis.. to split things up between us. He identified one of the bathrooms and our bedroom. That bathroom became "his" bathroom and I never ever used it. About 4 years after we got married, he told me that bathroom needed a new toilet. I asked why. He said "The one in there is brown." I suggested that he CLEAN it. Ewwwwwwwwwww.
