I (F27) and my boyfriend (M28) broke up. After that I asked to buy myself out of a house we both put 50% down on. I was surprised to find out my boyfriend had put 75% down and I only put 25%. I feel betrayed but not sure if I am overreacting.

I (F27) and my boyfriend (M28) have been dating for 5 years and living together in a new house for about a year. We more or less broke up after I was proposed to but refused. I told him I was not married yet because I was too young and wanted to have some more life experience before I was ready. He could not wait and felt we should have talked about it earlier. After that I cancelled the open-ended lease on our apartment and asked to be bought out of the house that we both had put 50% down on. He agreed to pay me a more modest amount then I had originally thought and said he had used his own money for the 3/4 of the down payment. I was shocked and tried to convince him to give me my original view but he said it wasn't his fault that I didn't know and it was all in the contract. I tried to show him the contract and it said that it was a 50/50 split but didn't explicitly state which of us paid that amount so he said it doesn't matter and that he did pay 75% of it and I paid the rest. I tried to explain to him that I was convinced that I had put down 50% but he told me he'd just give me my money back if I gave him the money back and I could go back to my original plan of saving up for my own house. I refused and told him that he should have told me and that I felt betrayed after he refused to discuss it further and left for his parents' house. <br><br>I told my sister and she said maybe I misremembered but that didn't help and she still said I should have been told. My mom said it was my fault for not reading the contract thoroughly enough and that maybe I should have waited until we were married. My friends were all on my side but they just said I should let it go because I was acting a bit unreasonable.
