When someone passes away and leaves a relative their home, sometimes drama ensues over what to do with the house, who gets to own it or live in it, etc.

One woman is reeling after finding out her older husband will leave their house to her stepdaughter, who will most likely kick her out when he passes away.

She’s 47, and her husband is 65-years-old. They’ve been married for 10 years, and she lives with him in his home. He has a 30-year-old daughter from his previous marriage, and his first wife passed away. 

After marrying her husband, he encouraged her to quit her job in customer service, and she’s been financially dependent on him for years and living as a housewife. Things in their relationship have been going really well until recently, when her husband told her he would be living the house they live in to his daughter when he passes away.

This left her very shocked, and she felt blindsided.

“I am aware that due to our significant age difference, I will mostly likely outlive my husband by many years and will probably have to spend the last decades of my life alone,” she explained.

“So, I was really upset but also angry to learn I will most likely be kicked out of our house after my husband’s death and left homeless.”

“My husband explained to me that I knew the house belonged to his late wife, who inherited it from her parents, and that I couldn’t possibly expect him not to leave his house to their daughter.”

She became angry and tried to explain to her husband that since the house is now technically his and that after all the repairs and decorating she saw on the house over the years, it should be left to her to live in.

She also told him he’s responsible for overseeing her financial security since she’s an unemployed housewife who would become homeless after his death. 

“He said that it will be incredibly unfair to his daughter and his late wife if I inherited the house, and his wife would have never wanted that,” she said.

“He also explained that I am the sole beneficiary of his life insurance and any savings left will be equally divided between me and his daughter.”

“However, I don’t think this money would be enough for me to survive the rest of my life, especially as my husband plans on having expensive cruises and holidays for the rest of his retirement.”

Their argument escalated quite intensely as she and her husband said some nasty things to each other.

She accused him of leaving her stranded and not considering all she’s done for him, while he says his inheritance will leave her with enough to get by, and if she doesn’t think so, she can get a job. He also denied that she’d made any contribution to their lifestyle other than drain his money.

She became so angry that she ran out of the room in tears.

Was she wrong to get mad at her husband for his decision, or was her anger valid?
