My husband says I have to pay half the mortgage on the house if I want to live with him. I told him I don't want to and that I'll pay half of all the bills except that. He won't accept that|||Live somewhere else then. Why do you think you should live in the house for free? He only wants a fair deal.|||well honestly if you don't pay half the mortgage and you get divorced you will be left with nothing of the house regardless how many bills you pay. If you are married then you should have a joint bank account and be sharing all money pretty equally at least that's how I view marriage as an equal partnership. but if you have other idea's and think he should pay more then you and you don't share income then I guess that's between the two of you. however keep in mind if you don't pay on the mortgage and get a divorce he keeps the house 100% no split. unless he has a bad lawyer or just being nice and lets you have part of it.|||Do both of you make the same exact income? I doubt it. You both should realize that marriage is also a financial partnership.
As a compromise, open a joint bank account and both of you contribute your proportionate share of income to the account to pay bills every paycheck.
Really, this should have been worked out before you got married. Conversations about money shouldn't start only after the honeymoon.|||If you are going to live together and share the bills, then you should share them equally. You should each pay half of the mortgage and half of the bills. That is the only completely fair way to handle it.
My question is, why are you unwilling to pay half the mortgage, if it's your house too? If you are unwilling to pay a mortgage you should not own a house.|||If its your husband then your money should be his money and same with the other way around. Me and my wife have an acount that we pay all of the bills with. Im confuesd as to why yall have to argue to who pays what because when you get married so does your money!!!!!!! Oh yea, and I like how you thumbs down all the answers that arent what you want to hear! lol|||Your other questions and answers you posted lead me to believe that you had to really use your imagination to come up with this one.
In order for your "husband, if there is one, to tolerate you, you should be paying ALL the bills.|||Oprah had a show on this.
She stated that both couples should have separate checking account.
But they should have one "joint account".
She stated each spouse could put 75% (or a comfortable %) of their income into this joint account for all bills each month. This keeps things completely fair|||Do you make the same amount of money as he does? Then why would you refuse to pay your share of all the bills? What makes you think that you should pay only *some* of the bills but he should pay *all* of them?|||Tell him fine...as long as he does half the dishes, half the laundry, half the cooking, half the cleaning, half the shopping and half the child care.
