Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

That’s not how it works. :@:
But I can sure make the wife work until the baby is ready to come and send her right back on her way to work after she delivers the baby. :snooty: j/k

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

Doesn’t he know your profession? I am sure many of us here do know how much can you make in a year?

:smack:

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

I am not sure why you are buying a house at the moment. He is totally using you. If you desperately want this home then have your parents cosign on the mortgage.

By the way, I am sure he has a conditional green card. Either way, if he is not sincere to you, which is very apparent, then staying in this marriage is of no use.

Listen to khatti.

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

OP, as someone else has inquired in this thread, what does your husband do all day if he is not working and/or contributing to housework? To be honest it seems as though all of the burden here is on you and I don't know why you are allowing him to get away with it. He is the man- if he is not qualified in his field yet, he should be doing any random job to at least help you out. Why are you responsible for his bills? Does he essentially sit on his backside all day doing nothing, expecting the world from you and threatening divorce? Seriously go tell him to jump. I can almost guarantee you he won't take that step- as you yourself acknowledged, he cannot afford to live on his own. I think you need to grasp onto this line of thinking and FORCE him to get a job. Be straight up with him- either he gets his act together or you won't be responsible for his bills. And if he can't afford his lifestyle then tell him to ask his family in Pakistan to send him money. Either way, it's not your responsibility- not after the way he treats you and threatens divorce. That is the worst thing a man can do as it shows a complete lack of disregard for a woman and is designed to instill fear in her.

As for should you share your financial information with him- does he tell you how much of his 10k is remaining? Does he account to you for every dollar he spends from his 10k? If the answer is no, then there is no need for you to share your personal financial information.

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

So do you still have to support him even if you guys get divorced ? That would be a pain.
What incentive does he have to work then ?

And buying a house in these circumstances ?
I don't know what's involved in that but are you sure that was a smart idea ?
Is he going to be a joint owner when he is not contributing a single dime on it and you will be paying the down payment and the monthly mortgage ?
Khattichic can probably give you some advice on that as she is in that business but this all sounds so complicated. Good luck.

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

First of all i said "do i give a hoot?" It was a rhetorical question for your information.
secondlydont argue for the sake of argument it just makes you seem more of a pansy than you really are.
Like i said i dont give a hoot about what you say or think, and im in no mood to salvage my rep.
im blunt, i say what i feel and i am not accountable to you nor do i feel i have the need to justify my self any further.
Thank you for your witty reparte.... it was fun and it passed the time. Take care.

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

You meant 'then** why** stay in this marriage' ?

[Edit- I see you fixed it. :)]

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

well some people out there do think that it works this way … they think women can do everything what men can & vice versa … why don’t they understand that they rely on each other in so many things … both genders are different …

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

I don't get you cpa - you love him, but you don't trust him. You're making long term plans, but you expect the relationship to end in divorce. You financially support him, but you won't tell him how much you make.

Out of curiosity - whose name is the house being purchased under - yours or his or both? Maybe Paheli can comment - but will that affect who is entitled to a share in the "family" home if the marriage ends in divorce?

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

so true :hehe:

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

OP, I have a comment about this and I hope it isn't taken wrong as I do not mean this negatively at all. Do you actually mean what you say (above) and are you actually prepared to go through with it? As in, are you actually willing to go through with a divorce if your husband decided that is what he wants? If you so, be more clear and objective in the manner in which you discuss this with him and clearly state your intentions. Do not add theatrics such as "oh, leave if you want to, but I love you" or "I will never marry after you" as they serve no purpose. Drama has a tendency build up and elicit drama in return and as such, these dramatic statements will only sidetrack you from discussing the actual important issues in rational and realistic manner.

If you do not mean what you say (and that seems to be the case in certain aspects as you mentioned here that you don't believe that leaving is really realistically possible for your husband), and actually want to attempt to make things work with your husband (which, honestly, does not sound like the best idea as it sounds like a rather toxic relationship) the best thing would be to refrain from making such statements as empty threats and emotional outbursts serve no purpose either and only make rational discussion more difficult.

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

Wrong !

You asked the question "Do I give a hoot? ".
Then you went on to answer that question yourself as “You bet …”.

Don’t mess with the professor, dear. :nono: :slight_smile:

BTW, I was just joking with you. Don’t be annoyed. Friends ? extends hand :smack: That is what started it all, dinit?]

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

Oh and I don't know why you think you have to support him for 7 yes. You don't. He has a green card, he can get a job and support himself. You are not going to jail for not supporting him.

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

This guy is clearly a liability. Do yourself a favour and get rid of him.

Enjoy. :k:

Re: tell husband how much savings you have? what your salary is?

You stay quiet and quietly work on the process of getting out of this marriage. Take your parents in confidence and get yourself out of this mess. Sorry this is happening to you.
