Until recently DH and I have always paid for particular things for the house/family. I pay for childcare and a small contribution to the household bills account (mortgage, bills, food etc) and he has paid the majority of the money going into the household bills account. I’ve always felt like I never have any disposable income. Both myself and DH work full time and earn a good wage, but with that comes high outgoings. He earns over twice as much as me so I requested a review of the finances and adjust our payments to equate to our earnings. ie he pays twice as much into the central account as me and then adhoc things like holidays/clothes for the kids is also split the same way. After working this out it now means I’m a good £300 a month (before splitting everything I buy monthly for the kids) better off. I somehow think he feels slightly bitter about this. Granted he did used to pay for most of our holidays so he paid lump sums out at times. But now he’s worse off each month he seems unhappy about it. AIBU to request things be split this way? It seems the fairest way for me and saves the arguments over me never having or being able to save any money!
