[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the "reimburse" terminolgy is what is throwing me off.  I think it is a slippery slop to start asking for reimbursement for doing things that benefit the family.  Where does it end? I also think it is dangerous to keep score.

If it were me, I would approach DH like this.  "DH, as you know during the last 4 months I was not able to really save any money and I depleted my savings.  So, for the next few months, I would really appreciate if you would pay [insert expense here] until I can replensih the savings."

I would not EXPECT him to however.

Sure, I would pay her.  Then I would turn around, file for divorce and get my 50 percent of our marital assets, including the 50 percent of "her" savings that our mine too.

This is the thing folks, there is no "his" and "hers" in a marriage, only "ours."  If you cannot figure that out and make it work, then you need to forgo the whole marriage thing.

I was married to someone like OP, but she did not work.  I paid for everything we had, and then she thought I "owed" her a salary too for everything she does around the house.  I coughed "bulls**t on that one! [/quote]

I am a woman and I 100% agree with this. [/quote]
