Where should I go from here

I moved in with my partner two years ago; we have been together 10 years now. I have three boys from another relationship and a daughter of one year from our relationship. He was very unsure about us living together in the first place, but we bought aproperty together and we live in his house that was already bought. We had the property we bought tied up so he has full rights to it if anything went wrong infact i would be homeless if we broke up and have nothing that was the only way forward at the time and with rose coloured spectacles that is what happened. last month i brought up the marriage subject as i wanted to know what his opinons were and it really upset me to find out that he never had any intention of being mr commitment. I have since asked him to at least make a will and an agreement to ensure if our relationship breaks down that i will be secure in the knowledge that the house we have purchased together is half mine. He seems very unkeen on any agreement but will quite happily make a will. He thinks i should just accept he would not make me homeless. I am finding it all really difficult as i just wanted to progress onto marriage instead of buisness like forms thats whats loves about isnt it? I don't even know now if i want the forms done as if its so buisness like then what does that say about our relationship or is there one? my boys are all at secondary school and college now. is there any advice out there please?

i dont know what you mean by the property you both bought together, being tied up? if the property you bought tofether is as joint tenants then i would think you would be classed as having a fifty % interest in it. im no expert but i am in the process of dividing the home my partner and i shared and bought as joint tenants. he was adamant i wsnt entitled to half the equity in it but soon learnt that legally i was. very messy and expensive to go through though! as for the home you live in now you will be in a stronger position as you have a child with him. every case in cohabitation is different and can be complicated. you dont have the same rights as if you were married. maybe thats why he doesnt want to commit! i found lots of good advice on the websites on cohabating but if it comes to it get advice from a solicitor. alot of them do a free first consultation and will let you know how you stand.
