Your husband wants to share money with you but refuses to share his salary,how will you react with this behaviour?Will you find it unfair?Will you react with anger or tolerate his impunity?Will you try to make him understand that he is acting mean and stubborn by refusing to share his salary,while demanding that he has a share of your income earned.Should you fight over it and refuse to share your income.Otherwise for the sake of harmony and peace,should you allow it?I want your opinion on this?

Personally, in a marriage it should be 50/50 and this is where a lot of marriages go wrong. You should not hide anything in marriage, especially money, and want all of hers without wanting to share yours. It needs to be a give and take, and if you the man goes out and buys something nice it needs to be agreed upon, or let the wife go buy something nice for herself as well. This is at least the way I was always brought up to believe since I got married.

That's not fair. It's actually the husband who has to give support to the family. So he must be the one giving his salary to you to run your family. Try to clear things out to him that he must be responsbile enough to support your family and if he wants your share, then he must give his share too.

I find this situation crazy. Is this really happening. I would think that the husband is very immature and selfish.
As a married couple, each income should now be considered family income, no his, no hers. Unless, there is a mutual agreement between both to keep their income to themselves, and just share on the bills and expenses.
As for me, when I was still working, my husband allows me to keep my salary to myself so I could help my mother and siblings with their needs. But, I insisted to give a share on the bills.

i think its proper to all share each others incomes to attend to home bills and spending.if you cant agree on what amount then its better to have a budget and you chip in equally .i dont think its fair of him to only want to use yours this would create mistrust as to what he is doing with his portion,even if your income is more he should still give something of his.

I will ask him why he wants to share with me if he is earning himself. But if we have kids, I will not tolerate it. What on earth is he thinking if he doesn't want to support his family? He's not single anymore. I will remind him that he is already married and have responsibilities. If he doesn't want to share his salary, then he should at least pay other bills in the house.
