AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend?
I'm 30F and my mom owns a rental property in Sacramento worth around $400k. She's been saying for years she wants to give it to me and she's finally ready to transfer it. The catch is she wants it in my name only and wants me to sign something that keeps it separate from any future marriage.
I've been with my boyfriend (33M) for 3 years. We're not engaged but we've talked about marriage. When I told him about the property he got excited and started talking about selling it and using the money for a bigger place for us.
I explained my mom wants it just in my name and he lost it. Said it's clear my mom doesn't see him as part of my future and that by accepting these conditions I'm agreeing with her. He wants me to turn down the gift.
My sister called me crying saying I'd be insane to give up $400k of property because my boyfriend is throwing a tantrum. My dad says if my boyfriend really loved me he'd want me to have it regardless of whose name it's in.
My boyfriend is barely speaking to me. He says his parents would never treat me this way and that accepting the gift means I'm choosing my mom over him. He thinks the fact that I'm even considering taking it shows I don't see a future with him.
I told him we're not even engaged yet so I don't understand why he thinks he's entitled to property my mom is giving ME. He said that comment proved his point and he's been staying at his friend's place for the last three days.
My mom said if I don't accept it now she's going to sell it instead. So I either take it with her conditions or lose it completely.
AITA for accepting the property even though my boyfriend thinks it means I don't trust him or see him as my partner?
