First Timer

[wolverine1997]

Told wife that I needed her to help pay bills again. She got irritated and said, "I know, you tell me that every two weeks". But she has yet to pay or give me money so that I can pay. Since she wants to be totally independant from me I think it only fair that she carry her fair share of the load.

She uses all of her money on her and the kids while I take care of all of the household expenses. She no doubt feels that way because I make probably 5 times as much as she does each year. But hey, she is the one who made these choices not me. She is the one who wants freedom and independence, not me.

I am trying to be diplomatic about it. But eventually I am going to take a harder line and make her pay a larger portion of the bills. Right now she is just another dependent for me to take care of.
