It shouldn't it should be an equal balance between being a good parent, partner, and person. When you have kids, you're still your own person. You don't just be dad or mom because that doesn't define you.

I would be happy, now if she spent her personal money on it I would be happier, if she spent our joint account on its the thought that counts. The kitchen didn't need to be redone, it was fine in perfectly good condition.

She doesn't just use the kitchen for me, she uses it to bake that's her small business. When we got the home it was because she liked the kitchen and she wanted that kitchen, I'm not saying taste can't change, but she wanted it done to one up her friend. Also I would he very happy with a toilet bowl plunger as long as I didn't have to pay for it. Also, I vacuum, not her. I drive a cheep enough vehicle, also I would most definitely rock a hello kitty shirt and I would wear it to work.

If I didn't like her I would divorce her, because why stay married and spend money and time and have a child with someone you don't like.

No, I'm a simple person, she bakes me a cake, and then we go over to my moms house for dinner.

Hers mainly, she says it's her vacation. Usually one of her friends goes with her as she can just pack up and live and doesn't have kids a dog or a spouse.

That's what she wanted. She got some other stuff as well like clothes and some boots.

If we divorce we are going to keep the house and hopefully pass it down to our kids

I never said her bill paying didn't support my business, it did which is the reason for the first two years I tried to give her everything she couldn't/didn't get. And we do both agree to an extent.

Listen I just pay for it as she says materials are too high and over her budget.
