Should I be paying for everything?

If you cannot sit down and discuss your finances, then you do not have a relationship with this man.
Sit down together, write down ALL the ingoings and outgoings (including running cars, bills, debt payments, child maintenance etc...) then discuss what is FAIR.
His take home salary that you use should be minus his child maintenance payments, as this needs to be kept separate.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
£500 a month pocket money?
I know a lot of blokes that would be more than happy with that lol0 -
It's all just expanded. I had 2 pets before, now we have 4 so the cost of insurance, flea treatments, food etc has doubled. I added his mobile phone onto my account. The Tv's are on credit on my account. Excess spending goes on my credit cards because he doesn't have one (that I know of). And no, if he disappeared I wouldn't afford it.

What's an SOA please?
In my monthly expenditure, I have a savings account that I put money away for that's for spending money for holidays etc. I put £90pm away each month to pay for the upcoming Xmas. I put £150 into a 'house' fund that pays for any home improvements.0 -
If you're buying TVs on credit AND increasing card debts you have major problems coming up unless you deal with this overspending.0

SOA - Statement Of Affairs. List all your incomings and outgoings in order to see exactly how much is being spent, on what and how much is left over.Penny_Pott wrote: »What's an SOA please?

Here's a good SOA template:

Darling, I'd love to pay for our next holiday. Oh dear, I appear to have maxed out my credit with all these other things and must now live off real income for a while. Sorry. Perhaps you could apply for a credit card since I can't get credit any more.0

Probably not the best advice......more debt for the sake of holiday0 -
I think there was a tiny touch of sarcasm...
