My husband and I got married about 18 months ago. I guess that is what "forever" may be for the two of us. He actually thinks things are going great for us despite my complaints about bills being managed. I do make more money than he does, but he recently got his 2 houses rented and has an increase in his cash flow. He had promised to help out more when the homes rented but nothing has changed. I pay our mortgage, electric, water, internet and phone, and buy most of the groceries. He moved into my house with his 18 yr old son. I also have an 18 year old son. My monthly grocery bill is about $500. I do purchase animal treats for our dogs and he complains about that too. He agreed to pay our cell phone bill and the cable bill. We have a non-contract cell phone now and $30 a month is handed to me with reluctance only if I ask and remind him to reimburse me. We agreed to divide the car insurance with both of us paying 6 months out of the year. My turn is coming up and I really get a curled up lip and told him that I agreed to that division before he moved into my home. I told him I had no idea he would not be helping out with other bills when I agreed to that arrangement. I made an appointment with a divorce attorney for this week. I am unsure what rights I have. I am buying my house from my father and it is in his name. I have been paying him for the past 8 years and that is unchanged from when I got married. I think I could end this easily if my heart did not love him, but in a small way I still do. I am not feeling like I did when we got married. I feel used financially. Now his son is going to college and he is going to need even more money for that. I had hoped things would improve, but yesterday I had a message on my phone in regards to a home loan that my husband had inquired about. I think he is planning on borrowing money to help pay his son's way to college. I don't want to be responsible for those loans. I may file for divorce before he signs for any loans to make sure my name is not on the repayment plan. Anyone got some advice for me? If you have had some financial problems that lead to divorce I would love to hear advice.
