We are a family of five, 2x shared children and one from DH’ first marriage.
DH and I formerly put the same amount of money every month into an account to cover household expenses. I earn more so I paid all nursery fees, holidays etc.
DH had some mental health issues and walked out of a job over 2 years ago. After struggling to find his way and taking on lots of debt, he now has a job that he loves but it’s seasonal. While good for his mental health and I want him to be happy, there is still a family here that needs to be supported. I don’t mean with a lavish house and holidays of which we have neither, I mean living expenses like rent, bills and food, am I unreasonable to expect a regular contribution from him? Even if it’s less than it used to be, I just want/need to know where I am, is that unreasonable? We can’t talk about it without fighting.
