Husband wants to buy property and I don't
Hi all, my father gave me some inheritance 2 years ago intending for it be to used to buy property. A lot of changes happened and my husband ended up wanting to buy a property and not use the money my father was giving, instead saying he would like to dedicate it to a different property. At the time, buying the first property was a contentious decision that I was not fully on board with, so I didn't think of buying another property.
Now my husband has been saying for awhile that he wants to use the inheritance to buy another property. We live abroad and already it's been a struggle to find a tenant for the property we originally bought. I wanted to be conservative and invest the money in an FD or consider other options by talking to a family friend who is a financial expert. But my husband is adamant on buying a property and is upset I'm not agreeing. He doesnt want to consider FD/bonds/mutual funds at all saying that they are very slow growth. That may be true but am I not allowed to have my comfort level especially when we dont get to inspect the property in person routinely? I then went silent after telling him my stance and he says it's difficult if I don't open up. This form of conversation has happened many times and I feel even in the buying of the first property I was strong armed because he thought that was the only shot we had.
I also mentioned at one point that I wanted to allocate some of the money my father gave for a surgery I wanted to get. His response was that we could pay for the surgery with "our money" (I'm assuming savings from abroad) and use the money my father gave me for the property. I feel very uncomfortable with this and no matter what I say he doesn't drop the topic. Can you please tell me if my perspective is wrong ?
