I thought that by asking David for half of his income I would be fine paying the bills. He is making twice what he made before. I just figured that I could live on the same amount that we both were living on before. Not so sure any more!
David had promised to deposit money into my checking account today. He said that he was going to text me once he made the deposits. When I sat down this evening to pay the bills I realized that I hadn't heard from him so I sent him a text. He got back to me that he was out all day today and planned on making a deposit of $3700 this evening. David now makes $325,000 before bonuses and gets paid every other week. So considering that he gets paid 26 times per year, the gross for this check should have been $12,500 - half of which is $6,250. Considering a hefty amount getting taken out for taxes, I still thought I would be getting closer to $4700-5000.
I sat down and went though all the bills last month and outstanding credit card bills and there is no way that I can survive on $3700 every two weeks. The house expenses alone are $3720 per month and this is in a non-winter month where I am not paying for heat.
I thought I would be able to pay the bills and save a little without asking for more than my due (half). But the house is half his - he will benefit from it when it is sold. His rent is probably way low -- who told him to move out? Why is he saddling me with a majority of the bills that I have to pay out of my half?
I called him and was very upset. He said we would talk about this on Monday. Christ -- why do I have to worry until Monday. I am going to make myself sick. What should I ask for?
Every time I think I am moving on there is always something that absolutely upsets me all over again. Maybe I would be better off dead -- I can't start counting every penny at this point in my life. Why is he doing this to me?
