I share a home with Derek. We are not married. The mortgage is in his name but I pay half of everything including utilities and groceries and I have lived here for two years. Derek listed our spare room on Airbnb without telling me. I found out when a man rang the doorbell with a rolling suitcase. Derek said he did it because we needed extra money and he knew I would say no. He is right that I would have said no. Because I now share a bathroom with strangers and no one asked me. His name is on the deed but this is my home too.

The mortgage is $2,800 a month. Nina pays $900. I pay $1,900. The spare room sits empty. I listed it for three weekends a month, kept guests to the spare bathroom, and made $600 a month to close the gap. I did not tell Nina because I knew she would say no to something that costs her nothing and helps us a lot. The first guest was quiet and left the bathroom cleaner than he found it. Nina did not have to do anything except accept that the spare room is now generating income. She has filed a case on the internet about my house.
