[quote=Anonymous]DH refuses to join our finances for reasons I don't want to discuss on a public forum. Everything is separate. I pay certain bills, he pays certain bills and this was fine with me until I "mommy tracked" which decreased my income significantly. This is our arrangement: I pay: Childcare Electricity Cable My student loans Baby's diapers and other odds and ends He pays: Mortgage (modest) Car payment Health insurance Groceries This arrangement sounds fair on paper but not when you consider that I literally earn 1/5 of what he does at this point. I asked him to contribute half towards childcare expenses but he balked at the idea. Is there a way that I can make the separate finances more fair or do I just suck this up? If you have separate finances, what works for you?[/quote]
