    I honestly do not think i am in the wrong here to be protecting myself and my daughters future interests
    Why your daughter's interests? She won't benefit anymore from the house being under your name only than both her parents. Trying to pretend your intentions are not fully selfish is not going to work for most people.

    As it's been said, it all comes down to what you value most, your family or your house. Of course you could lose your family at anytime, but so could your house. As things seem to be going, you are certainly ticking all the boxes to ensure that your partner will soon decide that she is better on her own then without a partner who values bricks over her commitment.

    Are you being honest with her, telling her that you don't want her to have any right to the house because you believe that she will leave you at some point anyway?

    I am protecting my daughters long term interests by ensuring she cannot take half of my money and !!!! it up the wall with somone else ( and someone elses kids).

    Not just leave - but "!!!! it up the wall"!

    So disrespectful. :(
  • OP really doesn't care. We shouldn't waste our time here.

    Good wishes for mother and daughter! Hope they find happiness and hope OP finds some sense!
    Home buying yet again!! Fingers crossed!!
