Even more important that you get out sooner. Before children. But it is your house. The longer he contributes to the equity the better his case in claiming a stake in it and forcing you to give him a larger piece of it, or forcing a sale to give him a cash buy out. The longer he stays and pays the bigger his slice of pie (your house) is gonna be.

Oh, and sweetie, if you're able to look at things that pragmatically you are ready to move on!
