I'd gather up the paperwork and invest an hour with a family law attorney, because we're just a bunch of idiots when it comes to giving that kind of advice. But I'm guessing he'd be hard-pressed to wriggle out of the house being considered marital assets.

If you believe he is doing all he can to get you to divorce him, you need to talk to him about more than a house. You need to talk to him about the state of your marriage.

Be prepared first by talking to a lawyer, to know your rights. Chances are he's done some research if what you believe is true.

Doggone it, I did it again... replied to an old post that someone else brought back up. Why can't people make new threads? To fusion princess, you need to see a lawyer or, I don't know, have a sit down with your husband.

In many western countries it is quite common for one party to own the house in which they live as a couple - married or unmarried - and for the other party not to object, even though they share other expenses. If you buy the property in your name and the deed is in your name only before the marriage, I don't believe these will be considered marital assets that can be divided, but I am not a lawyer.

I don't think what your doing is wrong in any ethical sense. It sounds to me like you view it as a way to protect yourself. I don't see how a reasonable man could object this.

From a relationship standpoint, I don't think his inordinate fondness of other people's property - especially someone whom he purports to love - bodes well for the future of your relationship.

I also believe that the replies you have received from those who echo your fiance's sentiments are sexist and worthless. Your assets are your assets. There is nothing wrong with protecting yourself. I admire you.

I agree - talk to a lawyer - but I will say that the sister of a family friend of ours had something similar happen to her. Her husband decided he wanted them to move to a different state (that, coincidentally had different divorce laws than the one they were living in previously) so they moved, bought a house in his name only, and then he divorced her. He had also moved all of the money around so that basically she got nothing after being married to him for over 25 years. It does happen - so I'd talk to a lawyer.
