Look what the cat dragged in! (TL) - Act 2

[tigerlily78]

The arrangement before now was basically he makes the money and I spend it. I don't need an explanation as to why he thinks the arrangement has changed. He considers us "broken up". :P

We are now: quasi-roommates who have a child together and share some household goals, and occasionally have some manner of "benefits", although one of the roommates purports to be in a committed relationship with someone else." *cough* The old arrangement was a lot simpler.

He paid the mortgage and bills and made all the money, I did all other shopping, school/activity spending for son, household stuff that came up, putting gas in the car, etc. There was a budgeted amount in mind for this stuff, but it was not super strict. I could spend money on little extras as I wanted to as well, only bigger purchases needed some discussion.

You are probably right about the talking not being good. I don't think he will bite anyways. I just wanted him to know I am trying to address what HE sees as "the problem" concerning son in this situation and that I am open to communication both ways if that is something he wants.

Also I think I need clarification. Since I haven't read the book yet I am going on a definition of "As if" that seems to change a little depending on who is talking about it in the forum.

Am I acting "as if" nothing is wrong and everything is going to work out? As if I am totally all about moving on? "As if" I don't give a crap anymore?

Maybe this is one of those things were I have embraced the wrong meaning of the concept.

Do you think finances is a critical enough thing I should try to push the issue before Christmas?
