Hi ladies I need advice... so I'm a stay at home mom on food stamps as I'm Epileptic and can't work. it's a big help but it's not a lot of money. Recently, I lost my wick checks - they're these vouchers for getting baby food - and have been really upset because I feel so angry at my husband. He goes to school full-time and works occasionally on weekends.. not every weekend and I'm very resentful of I'm because I feel like he's not providing. Yes education is important but it doesn't put food on the table right now. We are in couples therapy but I just don't know if it's worth it... I do love him, but it took almost a year just to get him to set up the therapy appointments and idk if I should just keep waiting and hoping it'll going to work out, or move on? Anyone been in a similar situation? I need some advice

Ohhh my goshhhh @morganmommy79 I would have been left, your hubby needs some prayer seriously 😂...... @kaitiegun I say hang in there, school eventually brings in a good paying job, stay there encourage him....do you get a disability check? Encourage him to get an over night job if it won't be too hard on him...... Either way money is a struggle to get, must work hard for it, going to school will help a lot in the future

I was in a similar situation and we are still together. Money is our biggest problem. Although, I work part time. My husband HATES me to spend $ so I rarely get anything for myself. When we first met he moved in with me and never paid one bill. He ate my food, used my utilities, even drove my van! He worked part time and barely made enough to live off of but it was his own business. He refused to work a real job. Then he let it go and got a job and made good money. Way more than me. I was a single mom of 2 kids, working part time and going to college full time barely paying my bills and he spent his $ on himself. He would even order food and eat it in front of us. He would offer to buy me food but not my kids. So I didn't eat his food. He had really nice stuff and I couldn't afford anything but he was living in MY apartment rent free and didn't pay any bills. Finally I made him pay half or move out. He agreed to pay. Now we are married (yes, even after that) and he provides but makes it clear to us that he does the majority of it and that we need to respect him. He's controlling over money. Even the child support I get from my kids father. I pretty much sneak and buy things because if it were up to him I wouldn't get to spend any $, just him. But that's our biggest argument. I spend $ anyway so it's not worth leaving him for. Because I do love him. He's came a long way in the last 5 years. Sounds horrible. But we are making it together somehow. Lol

Is the only problem you two are having financial issues? Personally, I feel like when you're with the right person, you just know. It sounds cliche, but from what I've experienced it's accurate. Like your soul just knows. But other than that, every relationship is going to have its problems. Finances are always a big one. Do you get disability at all? I'd try to be a little easier on him. I'm not sure how old you all are but I'm assuming he's in college, so he's going to school to try and better himself and get a decent job. Yes money right now is important, but I don't feel like you can toss school to the side either. I stopped for a few semesters once and it was so hard for me to go back, I almost didn't. At least he works sometimes and isn't just sitting there doing nothing. Just try to remember relationships aren't 50/50. They're 100/100. Both people have to actively try. Sometimes one person gives more than the other, but in the end it balances out. Hang in there girly.

Okay ladies I need advice. My husband came home from work a few weeks ago and decided he no longer wanted to be a husband or father. He told me that the kids and I need to leave and if we dont he will no longer pay the Bill's. I am unable to work because of high risk pregnancy. My only option is to move back to ohio and stay with my parents. (We live in Kentucky now) also last weekend I was admitted to the hospital and he was home with the kids...he decided to just walk out and leave them home alone while he went to hang with friends. I'm livid and to the point where I want my children away from him and myself too. Am I wrong for moving so far away?

Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄

Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄 Not sure if I'm being just mean or what. But my SO used $160 from me this morning. I gave him my bank card because he needed $60 to get material for work. His boss was going to give it back to him at the end of the day. So instead of $60 he took out $160. Which I was a little pissed. (One of the reasons I just can't let him use my card. I have to go get the money from the atm myself if I'm giving it to him) then, tonight he asked for $20 incase his boss didn't give it to him. So I gave him my card not even thinking because I had kids running around me. I asked if he could pick up a few things that were out of and told him he could use my card if he has too. And I even told him not to get the expensive brands or anything m generic is fine. So he does. But when he does he decides to go Easter shopping for the kids. (Not sure if he used to my card or not) but if he did, I'd be even more pissed. He knows I have bills to pay on top of giving my son's school money that I owe them. He goes to a private school and I haven't paid in 5 months. It's towards the end of school now so I need to pay it. He knows this month I am extremely tight because of the school, im already in debt and my credit score sucks. I have been trying not to get in more debt and actually fix my credit. I'm so frustrated. It's like we have different priorities and different ideas on this. I feel like I'm completely drowning!!
