I am a sahp and I find money an issue in our relationship. I am going on holiday without dh with our dc and my siblings. I have paid for the holiday out of an inheritance I have received. There may be a few further expenses going on a credit card which I can just about fund from inheritance. This evening we were looking at finances and dh was budgeting and asked me how much is going to go on cr card of this holiday I am not suppossed to be paying for?
I am feeling hurt by this as I do not question him when he spends x on his football season ticket and y on exravegent gesture for his mum.
I realise that I am probaby in the wrong too as I am treating the inheritance as my money not joint. However, I am feeling a distinct inequality in the financial side of the relationship. Dh has a pension and endownments and I don't. When I pointed out this inequality I was told that I will get them in the end. I do have a few fixed investments but I have not been able to renew these as we need them for instant access savings.
Any tips on dealing with this please?
