Hi guys.
I'm hoping for some advice.
I have been married for nearly two months now and I have two children from a previous. Before we married we moved in together. Since we have moved in,I had to change my job so income is much less now but I could cope financially because my ex also contributed to the children. However he has now stopped paying maintenance since I have limited him having the children to every other weekend.
The strain on my finances has hit hard this month and I've had to ask my husband for help with food shopping.
But after talking with him I feel like I've had to beg for money!!! So here are the facts.
I earn on a good month 1130.00 I pay all bills, child related expenses, petrol, and food
Husband earns two wages one is 3000.00 the other is 800.00 he. Pays for the mortgage 1300.00 and his van 189.00 and my car 189.00
So are we splitting this right because I feel like I'm being controlled financially!
All I earn goes into the house and I go to work keep the house and look after the children.
How does everyone else cope?
