Here is the situation, my wife freaks if she does not have total control over our money. I pay $500 a month in child support from a previous marriage so that leaves me with $1050 that is direct deposited into our joint checking account. I see zero of it, I literally have nothing in my wallet all the time, she won't give me a check book and she won't give me my atm card, she says it would just cause problems and be too confusing. She has three children from previous relationships and she gets $1,000 a month in child support plus she brings home $1,500 from her job. I ask her where my money goes and she tells me that she splits the bills half and half and mine won't even pay for half so therefore I get nothing! I don't understand why I would have to pay for half of our $500 food bill a month, I don't eat $350 dollars of food! Why should I pay for half of our gasoline bill when most of the gas is used for her to drive to work and take the kids to and fro. I love my step kids but why does she think I should pay for there expenses when she already gets $1,000 a month in child support! She does not help me pay my child support why should I be responsible financially for her kids? Does this sound fair?? I love my wife very much but I am feeling like she is using me! Outside insight would be sooooo helpful right now!
