Our (31M) GF (28F) has just assumed I’ll sell our apartment to contribute to purchasing a family home…

I have possessed my apartment for 7 years. It is a 1 bed room apartment, and in a very good city centre location. It is an asset in my name only. It' ll become an asset which will appreciate as time goes on, especially along with further investment in the town I live in. Even inside the past 7 years, it offers appreciated by 50% within value.

I' ve already been dating my GF designed for 1 year – we' re just moving in together at this point. We' re talking about moving to another city closeby and purchasing a home together. We plan to do this in about 3 years or so.

We had an analysis about it this evening, and she told me that I' d possibly have to sell this smooth to help afford in new place in the city.

My concern is this: I' ve already been divorced in the past, and my ex took our various other beautiful home. If I didn' t have this flat I' m living in at that time, I would have been royally screwed.

We don' t feel comfortable promoting this place. I told her that, and that it' d be best if we didn' t sell this toned, since the value of it would simply appreciate as time continued.

She said: " I simply don' t think we' re at an age where we should be having two qualities. "

I' m unsure how to proceed well with this. I don' t want to sell this flat, but I appreciate without doing this, we might not be able to pay for a family home.

What do I actually do?
