I wish that all of these posters dealing with this sh*t would get an accountant who just deducts what is needed from each spouse's separate accounts.

I am smart, good looking (I work out a lot) and believe me, there are plenty of other men who would line up behind my husband for me.
Still don't get it. You have the money, why don't you pay for them? I would actually seek some psychological counseling if I were you.

So your husband supported you fully for many years and now you won't contribute a cent towards the household. You are a piece of work!

OP, I'm confused, were you a SAHM, and then you went back to work when the kids started school? Or, have you always worked?

I don't get it. You make almost as much as your husband, but you don't contribute to any of the household expenses?? That makes no sense at all.

Because he sounds just as greedy. If you're going to have a joint bank account, you can't start questioning your spouse's everyday purchases (unless they are crazy). The two of them both sound like greedy, selfish individuals.
How is the DH selfish and greedy. He is open to putting his paycheck into the JA, but DW needs to the same. As she tells it, he is paying for everything - the mortgage, the kids, the cars. She has said she pays for nothing and doesn't think she should. She is the greedy, selfish bitch.

14:58 hit the nail on the head. You both sound like children. Grow up!

Are you from a former Soviet country?

Now he tells me I get what is left over. But since I started working, he is giving me nothing.
So, your husband pays all the bills, and you just need money for groceries and clothes? Do you pay any of the bills?
I don't pay for anything, although I finally broke down and paid $11,000 in medical bills that were on my CC. I need money for groceries for my child, gas and occasionally buying clothes. My husband has paid for all of this stuff throughout our marriage. Several years ago, we had combined accounts and I never saw where my money went. So, I do not want to share accounts with him. I make $75K/year. DH makes over $100K.
Lady, if you make $75K a year, you should be bying your own gas, groceries and clothes.
This has to be a joke.
