A funny thing happened. We've been corresponding via email about the finances, college payments and the like. I'd asked him about the discrepancy in the paycheck, why it wasn't 50/50. The first email it went unanswered. The second email I asked him if it was intentional and if so, why.
Part of me cringed, afraid that I'd annoy him and create a ruckus in asking for an explanation. Most of the day the internet was done because of severe storms and tornado warnings.. (in Connecticut!). I just read his email. He gave me an explanation and now the check is 50/50.
Funny how much easier things become when I just ask what is going on, rather than clamming up for fear of his reaction.
