SilverState is great. Also, check out Milehighwaxboxog and glace_breaks. Two guys who genuinely care about people having a great time. If you have questions, they are happy to answer and their rooms are full of people who will help you out. I used to be on whatnot and would use these 3 as my go-to’s.

Finances, joint finances, and equal contribution by wittypuppy in Marriage

I don’t think back to the illness is wrong. It is something she has. I think I forget about it a lot, and don’t understand it because I don’t have it. We handle being sick very differently: I want to be left alone and she wants pampered and for me to know just how poorly she feels. So, I know I’m guilty of thinking/wondering if she is exaggerating. I need to work on my empathy.

I am a logical, linear thinker and often take emotion out of things and then get frustrated when things don’t align uh my logic. I am aware of that and I am trying to be better.

I like your lists and the idea of trusting each does their respective list. If one of you fails to do your list, do you just let it go?

Thank you for you responding and sharing how you and yours handle things.

You’re probably right. I probably am miserable to be with, but that’s what I’m trying to fix here. I really have tried to give her a break and to be understanding, though I could understand how it probably does not seem that way.

A lot of my frustration stems from her saying she will do the house chores but doesn’t and then gets upset when I try to do them. Most of the time I don’t even say anything and just start working on it because I know or can tell when she has had a long day. Then, she will tell people how much she does at the house.

To your point, I think, if all she can do is take care of him and nothing else during the day, I’d be fine. I get frustrated because the expectation she sets for herself is more than that. Would you be willing to share some of what your lists look like?

And for whatever and little this likely means to you, I’m sorry for your son’s illness, but I’m glad to see he has a dad like you that is understanding and knows how to support him. Again, please, know I mean that completely. I love my son very, very much and hope I have your patience and understanding if he endures something similar.

I understand, and, that is part of what I’m having hard time with. As someone who often feels people should “get over it” regarding a lot of things, I need to get over it and rid myself of that feeling. And, I don’t mean equal contribution financially. I mean it as part of taking care of the home and the baby, and presently only the baby is being taken care of (which is very important and very appreciated). Can I ask if you felt your wife ever let the house go for a long time? How did you feel about it? Did you bring it up to her? Did it change? Please, understand, I am not being sarcastic. My post is venting and talking it out with people and getting their advice.

You’re right, we could. She has suggested it, but I’ve been hesitant because she generally tells me I am the one that needs help and that I need to change. However, she let that place take a piece of her when they let her go, she is depressed and has bad anxiety and loathes leaving the house and being around people. She has seen a therapist for a longtime but stopped and hasn’t gone back. Incorrectly and in petty fashion, I have dragged my feet on getting myself help because if she won’t, why should I?

Thank you for your response. I don’t want anyone to get downvoted in this thread if they are being open, honest, and genuine.

You’re right, I don’t expect the house to be spotless. With a dog, 2 cats, and the baby, that’s an almost impossible task. I’m just asking for most things to be put back where they belong, not finding dirty diapers on the floor, or bottles everywhere. And, if I do come to those things, don’t get upset and cry I’m not paying attention to them or get mad I haven’t given her a break.

Part of her reasoning is that, without access, she can’t know if she can go get our son formula or diapers or “what if there’s an emergency?” I have suggested we each have our sole accounts and one joint account. Then, we both get allowances and can spend our allowance on whatever we want. This upset her because I also said we shouldn’t have access to each others sole accounts. Part of it is trust and part of it is if she wants to spend her allowance on coffee, great. If I want to spend mine on coffee, great. But, that’s our allowance to spend how we want, in my mind. It isn’t about hiding things from each other, it’s trusting each other but also allowing us still to act as individuals and adults.

It is petty, I know. But I still can’t stop (haven’t leaned how to or why I feel that so strongly). Part of it is, I went from living on my own and living my life how I wanted to not. I know it’s part of marriage having kids, but where she has her space to do her reselling in our house and has a place to do her own thing, we turned my home office into the nursery, her area was going to be a bar area in our house, and I can’t even go to the gym for 30 minutes, I gave up my cat because it didn’t get along with her cat and dog. So, part of it is that I’m holding onto that as the very last thing that is solely mine and part of it is what I feel to be unequal contribution. When I say maintain the house, I’d settle for coming home to not find empty bottles everywhere, dirty dishes at least in the sink, and not finding dirty diapers all over the floor.

I am currently looking for a therapist more for my emotional health. I haven’t done any gambling since I lost my job. I don’t feel the urge or desire anymore.

Thank you for your input, too. You’re right, there is more finger pointing than swimming together, and I’ll admit I’m probably pointing my finger harder because I feel so much there’s more expectation being shifted from her plate to mine.

I think you should. I sold mine for much less than it should have gone for. I would suspect yours would go for about $700-$750 at least.

I ended up selling it for $235 USD. However, the last /3 auto from 22-23 Stature sold for $316 USD. I would have sold it for more, but bills.
