If your husband made a lot of....?

Question

money and you as his wife took care of the house and kids but had a little part time job would you occasionally pitch in and buy things for the house or the kids? BTW he doesn't give me complete access to his money. He likes to take care of all of our financial needs himself. But I do all the shopping and take care of all the childrens needs.

Who do you think should pay for my 2 necessary dental implants?

Answer 1

Your husband since he makes the most money.

Answer 2

Your husband.

Answer 3

your husband should pay since half of everything is yours. go back to school, so you can make a better salary. then you won't be dependent on him. what does he do with his money? Spend it on whores, a mistress?

Answer 4

I don't know. When you negotiated the conditions of your employment as a hired breeder and concubine, did you not specify dental benefits?

Sorry, sweetheart. You got worse problems than your teeth.

(He may well regret letting you work. It's made you feel all rebellious. Can't have the peasants revolting. First thing you know, you'll be wanting it to be all equal partnership. You know, like a marriage.)  

Answer 5

So what you are saying is he pays all the large bills such as house payments, cars, insurance etc.  But you pay the kids lunches, activities and your own personal expenses.  HMMM!!  NOT!!!  What happened to the marriage with love honor and sharing caring etc.  Wake up tight wad.  A marriage is about sharing everything and if you can't do this then you need to move on.  Your house should be a 2 wasy commmitment and these things need to talked about.  If this doesn' t happen your marriage will not last and when the dicvorce takes place you will not get ****!!  I know all about this, and it sucks when it is done.  Don't let him slid!!

Answer 6

He should.  A husband should be honored and proud to take care of his wife and family.

Answer 7

his insurance and what they dont cover you need to pay. if he is taking care of the house financially and you do a little bit here and there than you need to pay for your implants. GodBless

Answer 8

I am a big believer in "our money".  We always combined everything in a main account and had 2 sub accounts where we put our money we could each spend on whatever extras like lunch out.  Personally I would think your husband should pay out of the main account whatever the insurance does not pay

Answer 9

I think if you're married you share bank accounts.  He is your provider, not your father.  No, you shouldn't have to pay for your own dental work.  Is he kidding?  My goodness.  If he wants his own bank account he shouldn't have gotten married.

PS. Go ahead and give me a thumbs down, people.  I don't care.  Marriage should be "give-give" not "mine-yours"

Answer 10

I think your not accepting the fact you have a good man.  You be the good woman who puts her money in the cookie jar for the possible future rainy day.   Keep that hot bod in shape so you don't get dumped for a hotter younger model...

Answer 11

I agree with Paul. I think that if you stay at home and take care of the kids and all then a husband should be glad to take care of all of you. Its a lot of pressure on a guy to bring home the bacon but that's the deal you guys made. If you're not comfortable then have a bank of account that only you have access to for your own financial needs. In many ways, a bank account can be a woman's safety net.

Answer 12

A lot of couples choose to keep their money separate these days, but there is no right or wrong answer about finances, rather what is right is what works for you.  Another option is to have a his and hers account, but also have a 3rd household account that is for the bills and necessary expenses.  Taking care of the house and kids IS a full-time job, and you deserve to be recognized for that.  You also should both communicate and decide together on financial goals and where money should be spent, regardless of who is actually making or physically handling the money.  Otherwise, the marriage and the finances will suffer.  This is the same advice given by every financial (and marriage) counselor that exists. Medical expenses are a bill that should also be figured into every household budget.  Communicate, communicate, communicate, and hopefully, your marriage will just grow stronger around this issue.
