In my defense:

Not only do I pay more than half on all the bills, but I also:

1. Open doors for her
2. Wash the dishes
3. Trash duty
4. Assist with Laundry

I'm not all bad, but I am semi-scroogish.

Neither of us believes in slaving away 40-70 hours a week so some Republican can get rich off our labor. Plus, I play poker, so since that time, she doesn't even have to work anymore.

Don't worry, she fills up all that free time with nagging. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Huge one. Maybe this kind of situation works for you two but it seems kind of cold and business deal-ish to me.

If I were you I would apologize and tell her that this situation has caused you to reevaluate the whole financial situation and ask her what she thinks would be a good set up and talk about it.

What always worked for me was to pool our resources and then sit down with my partner periodically (maybe once a month) and review our short and long term financial situation and goals and work from there.

Jesus, Im torn. The OP sounds like a huge douche bag, but in some respects I think his wife is getting a free ride (not so much pertaining to the FW questions, just in general). I dont know how Im ever going to handle getting married.

WTF kind of marriage is that? Most marriages that i know of pool all their money together and split wiht 50-50 no matter who makes more mainly b/c they are MARRIED and LOVE eachother so it's not just about money...

A free ride? WTF are you talking about? There is a little more to being married than a business agreement.

A little more like what? I guess I just dont see the point of it. I have everything I want in the world right now, giving some girl half my money, while she barely works, etc just doesnt seem to make sense. But, Im sure this topic has been done to death, so lets just drop it.
