[quote=Anonymous]If you are married, shouldn't you be in it for the family? Then there really is no resentment for forgoing stuff. We had lots of medical bills for our DS and we didn't eat out and do such things. I didn't resent it. It was just life. We are getting new gutters before we get new carpet. I really hate our carpet, but new gutters are needed to prevent damage to the house long term. Of course I do think that the fact that my DH cleans the gutters and I don't does have more weight than I'd like in how we cam to the choice. I don't resent that my husband wants gutters more than I want carpet. It is logical, just not my choice. I don't resent it. My husband and I have equal amounts of personal money. All money goes to the group account and we draw equal monthly allowances for personal use. Everything else is household. I don't get how in a partnership/equal marriage only one spouse could make a sacrifice. It's a family - you are in it together. [/quote]
