I am prepared to be told that I am being unreasonable, I can take it if I am
So here goes: I work 3 days a week and DH works FT and earns more than me. We each contribute to joint account every month, DH puts in £100 extra than me but he normally pays for nursery fees out of a voucher scheme, and he pays these himself.
Our joint account has got quite low lately, we'very had a fair few expenses.
My own savings have also gotten low....we have a dog, and it was agreed when we got dog that she would mine and that I would be primary care taker for dog and pay majority of costs. Fine, this is what I do, and I've had to foot a £180 vet bill this month. That was fine, I paid for it.
My car has just needed to be serviced and as I had not much money in my own account DH has said I should pay for it out of joint account. This has cleared our joint account right out and I feel a bit cross about this. I guess I feel that DH should have paid for it, not only does he earn more than me but I know he has a significant amount of savings. I have no savings, everything I earn goes on joint account, dog and things like car.
So am I being spoiled and un reasonable? I thought marriage would mean more of a partnership of finances, am I expecting too much?
