[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I have a job too and I pay for all of my expenses. DH pays for all the bills and rent. I do not earn as much as him and I have offered to pitch in multiple times but he says no he’s got it. I buy my own shoes clothes makeup etc.

I am very disturbed by this as I am unsure I can be in a relationship where I am going to be made to feel bad for relying on my husband. [/quote]

what is he talking about. You are married,right?  You have co-mingled, shared bank accounts, right?  Why are you arguing about who pays what bill or rent? It's all from the same pool of money.  
Get this together asap.

As for MIL, she sounds like a B*tch who likes to gossip and stir up trouble. Play dumb and ask her what she is talking about?  Make some jokes. Make her head spin. Then make sure your husband isn't talking about your behind your back with her, or her with him. Yuck. I hope she's not local.

How "young" is he even? WTH was that comment coming from?  sounds like she was against the marriage and just won't quit with the wannabe jabs. Yuck. [/quote]

OP here.

Of course all of it is "our" money. I mean to say income from DH's job vs income from mine. The way it works for us is to primarily have his income cover our living expenses and saving/investing mine in addition to "fun money." Since his income goes towards large living expenses little purchases like makeup, haircuts, I do out of income from my job.

It is HIS mother who thinks of it in her sons money vs my money. It is deeply hurtful, offensive and rude.

She also told me, btw, that when we have children I should really consider keeping my job as having her son as our sole provider will be too much stress for him.

FWIW, We're both 30.
