My wife expects me to give her an allowance and pay her bills. How do I tell her to work and that I can't afford it?

How much do you pay her to have sex with you, cook for you, clean your clothes, keep the house neat, grocery shop, make appointments for you, entertain for you, clean up after the Sunday football game where she prepared and served the snacks all your buddies ate, write or call your mother because you don't. A study a while back found that the retail value of a woman staying at home was greater than the husbands salary.

Sounds like the two of you need to see two professionals (you are one unit now and are supposed to be working together toward common goals). You need someone to help you budget and a marriage counselor. Although you could buy a book by Dave Ramsey and just see the marriage counselor. If you don't have any children that is a good thing.

I had to do chores for my allowance as a child and it sounds like one of us married a child. Make a list of chores that need to be done to a professional level and pay accordingly. If sex is on that list, you ain't doing it right or she's a hooker, either way, you lose.

Yeah, that's what my ex expected .. I never did get her to understand money had to be earned before it was spent ...

Why didn't you discuss this matter before you married her? How do you tell her? Just tell her. What other way would there be?

what are you spending your income on if it's NOT household bills??????????

What do I do to make this money
