Fell apart making chili. Which was mostly for pot luck at church. Well received so much so there were requests for it again. Yes there are onions in it an no that's not what kicked it off. Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley. So that is currently not on my playlist.
When we had our meeting with the Ls. W said she would help more with the bills. Hasn't happened.
I asked her about it. She replied that she had been paying our medical insurance all this time. My response was that since she had been taking care of the finances then she knew my check was spent covering bills as well.
I didn't belabor the point because it seemed not in my interests.
Maybe time to show her that there are consequences to this. We both make about the same and for assorted reasons my take home is larger. She wants this so the sharing of funds should cease. She has paid bills from the joint account without adding funds. When I have planned on paying another expense only to learn she paid the cable bill... it gets frustrating.
I don't want to force her to do anything. Nor inflict any pain or be a jerk about this. Maybe though I have no choice and can remain polite and civil and kiss her goodbye. For me in the long run. So not what I want but she is expressing no change. Our kids say I can do better... etc...
We shall see.
