i wanted to discuss finances because right now.. it's all intertwined. all our income goes into one acct and the bills are all paid out of there. he currently doesn't have his own space and is staying w/ his dad (who is probably not the best person to be staying with). having the finances joint actually benefits me because he pays half the mortgage etc. but i am wanting to try and figure out what will be in both our best interests. ie. he will know exactly how much he if responsible for in terms of financial support for the kids and therefore can make a plan for his own finances (hence getting his own place.. whether he needs to pick up a second job etc). and for me.. i will pick up more shifts at work if necessary etc.

feedback is good. it was really difficult to write because i didn't want to make him feel bad or guilty etc. i don't know.. i'm kind of flying by the seat of my pants here.
