I never thought you could put a price tag on what you and someone else shared together. Apparently, I have been misled because you can. According to a recent bill I have been presented, a little over four years equals the cost of $16,000 however with the proper adjustments I now only owe $5,000. The title was named “the money and time I have invested in the house for our future together”. What started as acceptance has turned into anger and now disbelief, how could he ever put a price tag on what was us.
Over the years we did multiple projects together both inside and out. A few of the main ones consist of gutting and renovating both the kitchen and bathroom, building a shed and landscaping. It was a lot of work for both of us and also a lot of arguing and fighting. No one ever said relationships are easy and ending a long-term one has to be single most difficult decision most people have to make. It took a little over a month before I was given the paper with the breakdown of what I owed him. I was told that it was not supposed to be considered a bill; I guess I should have just ignored the payment plan on the bottom. In hindsight he was the one walking away with nothing, no place to live, no new kitchen or bathroom, no shed to store empty windshield wiper bottles, nothing. I don’t regret any of the time we had together but I do regret not following my heart sooner when I realized the one I should love the most wasn’t the guy living with me.
