[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP,

A lot of your problems are rooted in poor communication. Here are some thoughts:
- While DH and and I have individual savings accounts, I would never just take them money from my savings account and go on a trip with my girl friends. There is more to vacations than the money. Overall, I do find it healthy though to have trips without DH. We do take trips with just our friends, without spouses. 
- We used DH's inheritance for the downpayment on our house and we did pay it back. It was not *me* paying *him* back. It just seemed fair. Assuming we stay married and live long enough to be retired, I am sure we will use this money to pay for our joint expenses.
- You seem very resentful that your DH is not making more money. Again, this is something to explore with a therapist. I have a super stressful job and make multiples of DH's fed job. I cannot imagine both of us having super stressful jobs.

There may be some cultural expectations wrapped up in what's going on with you guys... In any case, good luck! [/quote]
