Why must I make more $ than him??? Don't get me wrong ... he works and works hard but I bring more in and it's starting to cause an issue. I feel like it's more weight on my shoulders than his. Any suggestions or anyone else that understands the frustration???
Nice to see somebody else on here that understands the stress and struggles of paying most or all of the bills. I pay 100% of the bills in my home and the stress is unbelievable. We don't have issues affording anything luckily, but still the stress is real. Not a lot of women on here get that as they are SAHM's (which is ridiculously stressful in it's own way), I just see too many people who don't understand how their husband is tired when all he does is work, or complaining he doesn't do enough in the house or with the kids, or wondering why he has an attitude. It's stressful to be the main provider or the only provider, it really is.
@aharrell815, have you had a talk with him about how your feeling ? When I worked me and my husband split the bills in half even tho he made more money then me. That’s what worked for us at the time. If I start working again it will be both our money combined and the bills will get paid that way and we both will take money for ourselves to the side and put the rest in the savings. Maybe you guys can do that?
Pretty much ... he helps out but it's honestly not enough. I feel selfish at times but I'm just wish it was more 50/50 ...right now it's like 70/30 😐
@emily526 I so agree. It's really hard and stressful and I know he's trying so I don't want to beat him up about it all the time but it's like damn!
