DH has a lot of debt from his previous marriage which he is trying to clear so one day we may be in a position to buy a house together. At the moment I pay for rent, bills, food, all kids necessities, clothes, activities etc. He pays for car running costs, I mostly pay for fuel as DCs and I use it the majority of the time. We went on holiday in half term, his only financial contribution was the fuel to get us there - approximately 1/7th of what the holiday cost. In August we're going away and his contribution is to buy the meal passes which cost around 1/5th of the total holiday costs. Tonight he is out for a meal and drinks, in a couple of weeks he's going out all day/night for a friends birthday about 30 miles away. They were planning to get hotel rooms there, I offered to pick them up to help DH save money but he gave a vague answer which I know means no. AIBU to think I shouldn't be paying for everything while he is spending money on going out? I understand he needs to go out once in a while but this frequently when in debt is taking the piss I think

AIBU?
to think he shouldn't be having nights out if he can't afford to contribute to family?
