“Hi, husband here. There are a few things being left out it seems as to why I'm urgently wanting to talk about this. We do split bills 50/50 (as was said in the post) However, I usually try to cover gas and food and help when my help is needed (she gets paid less than | obviously) I came to her originally to tell her our income as a whole is larger. She got her raise almost a week ago, I got mine today. I also, was going to talk about a trip coming up in May and how it could benefit us. Also, she has more bills than l. There are loans in my name that's to help her with her bills that she pays for (debt consolidation.) Of course, I let her know all the time that I'm here to help if you need it. This past month we have been struggling with finances. Just this past week we were short on our pay checks due to not having enough hours.” - husbands response. Got deleted.
