We have always had separate accounts so this won't be an issue. I think it is part of the problem with the marriage. H has never thought of us as together financially. everything is mine and yours...right down to our cars. I pay the bills in the house 1/2 the property tax, insurance on both cars, life insurance, house insurance, food and he pays mortgage and 1/2 the property tax. He would pay all other extra ciricular stuff ie. if we went away, clothes, out for dinner etc.
This is partly why I didn't know the gambling was going on. I have no idea how much or little money he has. I barely even know how much he makes!
I own my own business so have been quite dependant on him for a long time but this past year I got out of debt and net income was as much as him. I don't think I will be able to carry the mortgage for long but I need to make a change. If you want the full story it I posted a couple of days ago. I haven't gotten a whole lot of help so far and am feeling a bit discouraged with this forum. Perhaps I need to move elsewhere?
