So, after 12 years with a guy and two children together he still won't get a joint account and although he's the main earner, I pay half for most things and I have to ask for money for school trips/kids clothes etc etc.
As I work part time, I pay childcare fees, I asked for help towards this and he wouldn't help! So instead he used 'his' money to buy our sons Xmas gifts and points out that he's bought them all making me feel upset and utterly shit!
If things were equal and I wasn't left with this bill, I'd if had more money towards my children's xmas gifts!
I've talked it through with him many times over the years and he just gets annoyed and shrugs it off then it continues....
This and other reasons are making me think I'd be better off alone...
