I'm going to be very honest with you. Until H started paying most of the utilities last Feb. I had very little financial wiggle room. It has really helped out. I was satisfied with this arrangement and it worked out well and never a cross word was said until now.
When I went to get a consultation with my L early last Feb., he informed me that according to H's income he should be paying me about about $300 a month more in C/S than what he does. Him taking over the utilities brings that right up to where it should have been all along. That is not including what alimony payments would be.
I have let H live his life and I've been polite if I've had to ask for something or find something out. I do not treat him with any disrespect, but I guess it's too much of an expectation to think he should treat me the same.
