I'll have to look into that book. Thanks for your reply. I don't know why money talk makes me emotional. I think that is the biggest problem I have and the reason why I always just avoided it. Even yesterday, I was stressed and shocked about his decision to stop using the joint account but rather than dealing with the business end of it I jumped into all sorts of emotional baggage. Right now I woke up still so angry, and I know it is because I am scared that he is not going to give me the bill money on time. I'm just so angry about so many of the financial decisions he has made that I always chose to turn the other cheek about and I am tempted to just let it all out. To make him see how much he has screwed us over in the past without realizing it. And he has the gall to question the fairness of his contribution? He really doesn't see how 50% of his income is going to supporting the family while 95% of mine is, but just because dollar-wise it isn't 50-50 he doesn't think it is fair. I want to tell him that. I want him to see it. But I know that is not the right approach. But I really don't know what is. I am just so scared that he is going to continue down this passive aggressive (or irresponsible) path and screw me over with the bills and with the overdraft line of credit.
Do I wait until next pay period and see if he follows through with giving me the bill money or do I address it now?
