I think I am prepared for whatever may happen. H has never been good with money. He was in debt when I met him, spending more than what he was making and behind on child support! So thankful that cs is now automatically deducted from his check! I will get everything organized and maybe run a conversation by you guys before I speak with him.
Oh my God, this is getting weirder and weirder; my husband was the SAME way, although this was a first marriage for both of us.
Mine was never good with money, and I've had to handle it all up until he and I both went to work for ourselves...our money has been separated for the past 5 years...we each contribute half toward the months' bills...and I've had to really get on him sometimes to get his part.
As we compare notes, I get more and more amazed at the similarities I'm seeing between you and I, and the husbands!
I hear you on the conversation; sometimes it IS good to run it by someone before you actually do it.
Remember, as each person is different, every MLC/Transition is different..what works for one may not work for another. Most of the time it is trial and error for ALL involved.
