    You are married so you are not protecting your assets by paying the mortgage by yourself. If you get divorced he will legally be entitled to a share of the equity despite putting nothing in. Mortgage aside why isn't he paying for half the council tax, half the utilities, etc? That makes no sense.

    You've really made a rod for your own back here.



    The OP will also be entitled to a share of the husband's assets, namely two houses.

    It's a strange set-up agreed.

    I'm guessing that his income may be going towards paying debts.


    And he might be reluctant to discuss it.
