[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-- I asked for advice, not to be berated.  He has his good qualities, but he doesn't seem to get it that he needs to pull a bit more weight.  Right now, the burden is falling on me.  I'm the one who budgets, I'm the one who packs the lucnhes,plans the meals, scrounges on ebay for items instead of buying from the store...

I'm looking for ways to show him that we need that extra security.  [/quote]

Tell him. Just sit him down and tell him what you expect from him. Write down your budget and income (including sources) and show it to him. Talk to him about how you plan to increase your portion of the income and ask him what his plans are to increase his share.[/quote]

Agree with this, but I think you also need to be open to negotiation.  You can't make a list, say this is everything I want, now what are you going do about it? He needs to be able to say his piece and you need to be able to listen.  It is really difficult to come at someone in an attack mode and expect them to cheerfully agree with you.  [/quote]
