[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you really need to decide together if you want to be married.  He is refusing to share finances and ypu are nickel and dining everything.  This is not a good marriage and is obviously not making ypu happy.   Do you enjoy the other parts of the relationship?  Would you be better off living separately?  Ypu clearly still think of yourselves as two families.

Or is this solely focused on finances?  Do you think he was burned by his divorce so that is why he wants separate finances?  Can you two reach some sort of understanding about a joint account with a certain amount of money where you pay for all food?

Money is tight because we are spending everything for the renovations of this old house. We don't make big salaries, just normal. When I met him he was divorcing and having 3 kids is a lot of expenses. Other than that, yes, we are enjoying many things together. But while I don't mind paying for my man from time to time (I buy him clothing or invite him to eat sometimes), I would like to be invited as well. Yet when we go to restaurants and I can eat lets say for 15$ because I don't need a big portion and he get a large pizza for 30$ because less than that is not enough for him, but then it's put into common expenses, it turns me off, but paying separately would be wrong. Not to mention that he's not the type to go to a store and buy a gift (not just for me,  neither for his kids) unless it's someone's bday and he has too. I don't know anymore if he's like that or if it's circumstantial, but I can't prevent myself from feeling bad...[/quote]
