If you want my opinion I would take on a full time job and STOP doing teh house related work ... Hire someone to do it...
if you are committed to Full Time work too then he is in no position to expect you to do more than he is... AND you have your own income
He is still in the lurch for his % of expenses
To my mind if 80% of the household income is his then he is accountable for 80% of the expenses...
Generally this is good advice. BUT....be very careful to not change your situation too much. Should you...heaven forbid....head to divorce court, your status as sahm for over a decade, sets a precedence for your lives. It also sets how spousal support and child support will be determined and for how long. I was advised to not get a job of any kind, to not get any job training or education of any kind until D was final. I am to continue as always.
I would suggest, if H is only giving a percentage, only pay that percentage of the bills. I would also start cooking mac and cheese, broccoli, and a hamburger patty (frozen) EVERY NIGHT. My kids would love it and H would hate it, (but That's all we can afford!!) Oh and I would get that really cheap TP that falls apart in your hand!lol
Also, start a stash. 10 here, 20 there. in cash.
