[quote=Sabrina55][quote=Anonymous][quote=Sabrina55][quote=Anonymous]You make zero references to your children and I find that really sad.  Do you not care how they are seeing their mom being treated?  Do you not care that you aren't setting a good example for them?  All I've heard is ME ME ME...not what is best for you children. [/quote]

I am always thinking of my children and anyone that knows me knows that I put them before myself. I was told so many times how it bothered him that I put them before him, so how could I expect him to put me before his family. I was trying to weigh everything, the contribution he was giving helped enough so they could have some extra's instead of that money going to the other half of the electric bill, that is also why we are still in this house because they love it and after what they have been through I did not want to have to move them out of the house they have known their whole life. I am realizing more now, that is why I am doing this. [/quote]

So it is better for them to stay in the house and see their mom treated like crap?  Ok then.  You need therapy to work on your issues. [/quote]

They did not see their mom treated like crap, I was not sure of how people handle finances with future step children and one owns the house and the other lives there. Again, that is why I was asking how other people usually handle the finances of blending a family. I have stayed in this house for two years before we were together, that has nothing to do with the amount he should be chipping in. Recently there have been alot more expenses that are out of my control then there was years ago. Which is also why I was wondering what is fair a % from each income, split things 3/4 and 1/4. I did not know that when I was struggling more and things were going downhill fast that he would not step up. I was hoping to get guys opinions also to see how they feel about finances with someone with kids, when they don't have any. [/quote]
