Me and my partner aren't married.
We have been together for 4 years and have a 2 year old son and 3 year old daughter.
We rent but our aim is to buy a house.
The rent, bills, food, car and all outgoings come to about £1500 each per month.
I'm an accountant, he has his own business. To put in perspective, I earn £2200 a month and he makes £8k plus.
So after I've paid my bills etc for the house I may have a couple hundred pound left at the end of the month. I'm unable to save anything.
He had saved £15k in the last 6 months.
His opinion is his money is his and will never be ours and my money is mine so i obv want to save my own money.
He does pay for takeaways, trips when we go out etc for us as a family.
I suggested that he pays an extra £300 a month towards house bills/rent so that I can save a bit too and he said no. It's always half and he isn't going to lose out on money to help me because my finances are nothing to do with him.
He ended up saying that me even asking has put him off me a bit and I'm ungrateful as he pays for other things when we go out.
I almost resent him because of his attitude with money and think he's selfish.
Am I being unreasonable to ask such a question to him or expecting that he should pay more than me?
Thanks
A
