Is it just my marriage, or is the top fight always about how we stay at home and don't have to work and our husbands work there butt off and make the money so they have the right to do whatever they want with it.!! ugh, its annoying!!

Been there!!! What we ended up doing was opening a seperate account for my husband. We sat down and figured what our bills were and what we could afford to give him and had his part direct deposited into his account, the rest goes into our joint account which he does not have an ATM card for. Now I know I have money for bills, don't have to worry about checks bouncing because he stopped at the ATM, and he has his money to do whatever he wants with. Our biggest argument is really about the fact that I "don't work". I may not work away from home, but I don't get to clock out. The money issue was easier for us to work out.

I'm a sahm and my husband wants me to be at home. He is great about it if I'm sick and don't get something done he doesn't say a thing about it or he does it himself. He also hands over his paychecks too me and I pay all the bills. I've tried to tell him that he can help with the bills but he says he doesn't want to that he trusts me.

some women stay at home after marriage. that's ok if their husbands appreciate their work and don't think their wives depend on them. but if the husband thinks it is he who raises the wife and she should waits on him, the wife should try to change such a situation. she should try to make the husband become clear about the fact that what she does at home is just as important as his work and she is also hard working.
