I got married n moved here …I live with my husband. Recently something is really bothering me and I don’t know what to do
I am a housewife and my husband is working. We lives in an apartment..my husband makes good enough but then god knows where does his money goes…he always doesn’t have money on his account…He pays the rent,bills n grocery…recently we stared having arguments on money matters…I am telling him that we should think about future n save money to buy a house…I told him to save money but then he doesn’t…
Recently I notice that mostly he spend money on his married sister’s shopping..she would always ask him to go with her then he would end up paying for her shopping…It happens every week…he pays from her grocery to her kids diapers…when I ask him, he would say that it’s his money so I shouldn’t be bothered…when ever someone ask him for money, he would give them without thinking
He doesn’t think that we should save for our future…
And he always does hisaab with me…infect he doesn’t give me any cash…if I need something
then he will go with me and pay for it but sometimes he would refuse
I am looking for a job here but then so far I haven’t found any
eww this is scary. not because he is spending money on sister and elsewhere but because he is segregating you from himself. marriage is a notion of a "family" and "togetherness". so here, saving the money or not isnt the issue. you have lost his trust in you as a life partner, or maybe he didnt have it in you, in the very first place. maybe you can tell us.
You need a job, ASAP and save for yourself. Once you do find a job, you need to learn about investment and all your future savings, because he should have no part in that.
Don't even bother to reason with him, the chances of him understanding are very slim, so it's better you do things for yourself.
As much as it may seem weird having separate financial accounts/savings, I have seen it happen and that too successfully.

good... keep it that way..... and make sure he remember his words ... :).... and once you start earning, remind him his own words and never go for joint account option
