….during mat leave.
background - just finished mat leave with
DC2. Situation was the same with DC1.
both work full time typically and contribute 50/50 towards mortgage, bills and all other expenses.
during mat leave my salary was 46% of what I usually earn (ie less than half). DH expected me to continue paying 50% of mortgage, bills expenses. His rationale is that he was not earning any more than usual.
this has left me in a hard position financially whereby I borrowed from my family to get by.
AIBU to think that he should have increased his contributions whilst I was earning significantly less than usual (and looking after our child on mat leave for a year).
