Thank you all for your posts!
He know all his duties that he has to fulfill for his parents…But not his duties for me!
I don’ t mind if he wants to send money to PK to his parents.
I only asked him to fullfill all his duties here…and the money that is left over can be sent to his parents…He agrees with that…But he doenst’t want to work more than three hours a day coz it’s really hard for him…So for him it’s much more important to save money for his parents than to pay here…
Is it weird if I got mad when he said that to me???
**So that’s why he said to me that he wants to sell my house to live in a room for me…so that everything will be easy for him to pay…So I asked him to work more hours…BUt that’s really difficult for him…pfff…He has never worked so hard…YEH RIGHT!!!
He shouldnt sell ur house, intstead like someone else mentioned y not rent a room to a student/professional that way u have some money coming in. ****Ur lucky u have a house on ur name,****we are still living in rented property. Is there a reason he cant work for more than 3 hours a day?
**
The point now is…I’ve quit my job coz I was really depressed coz of my work…He doens’t understand that I need some time to recover.
I’ve said to him that I want X amount of money…and I’ll find a job and will arrange Y money..So that we pay our expenses…But I can’t work fulltime..coz I’m mentally not ready for it…
and yeh he is still working 3 hours a day…We’ll see if I’ll get X amount in my hands 30th of Jan…**
me n my hubby recently came up with a budget plan, coz we wanted to save some money n when i was in charge of the expenses well we werent saving nything, so we set x amount each week for the groceries, n anything else i need or kids need is seperate, n im soooo much happier now
**
He also want kids..as soon as possible…Pfff…funny guy!!
He cant take care of u how can he handle the responsibility of children,
We’re married for abt 1,5 yrs…but started to live together abt 3 months…
We have been married 5 years n living together for almost 2yrs, bt its taken those 2 yrs to comproise n get that balance
And he doens’t has any degree…pfff…
**My husband doesnt have a degree, he couldnt even speak english properly before he came, but Alhamdollilah hes wking full time n has been promoted, n he works for an english company, hes never wrked so hard in his life either, his frst job was as a butcher n it was 12 long hour shifts, but he never complained. He wrked there fr about 8 mnths n then we moved house to b closer to my parents as i was expecting ou 2nd bby. within 2 weeks he got another job which again was very long hours fm 4am to 8pm, he still carried on, hes still in the same job n over xmas he was wrking frm 4am to 11pm
nothing is impossible, its just he needs to b willing
**
I cried a lot for my bad kismat…but things can change to make it better
So I will do that!
Pls pray for me!
Thank you!
**khair, i just want to say that instead of montly why not try weekly, like he should gve u x amount per week for ghar ka samaan n y amount is set aside for bills, n watever is left u can both spend on urslves or send back home ONLY if ur household expenses have been met
my BIL lives in Gran Canaria n he earns twice as much as my hsbnd dsnt pay any rent n most of the time his food is paid fr by his employers too, he has 2 kids n a wife who r in pak, despite them being his responsibility, my hubby stills sends them money, i dnt have a problem with that, why because hes taking care of us n saving for our 2 children n paying our rent as well as bills, althoough it does make me wonder y they need financial help when she has a working husband earning more euros than our pounds, i even asked hubs that n he said i just send it as a gift, i mea he only sends around 200 every other month, nt bad
so i advise u to sit him down n talk things thru like get a pen n paper n write ur expenses, n then decide wats left to send back home.
make it clear that its his responsibilty to cfulfill allur need even if it means playing the religious card, oh n please try n solve these issues urslf frst, involve parents as a final resort

I do send money back to my parents to Pakistan and mostly its just as a token of appreciation. My wife never had problem with this. I talked with her in early days of our marriage. I told her the equations that X2 has mentioned. I asked her if she has any problem with it If I send lets say 400$-500$ per month to my parents. Here is what she said
*“XXXXX, I totally understand what you are doing for your parents and I am proud of you. Only thing I want is that our kids gets their wishes fulfilled and gets their right share after all whatever you and I are doing and will do, is for their betterment and other than that I will never have problem with this” *
This statement was made in initial days of our marriage and I thought hat it might change over time but I checked with her as latest as 3 months ago and statement still holds valid
i said the same thing
