I have a feeling your

Quote From: dlink4187

 My wife and I have be married for 5yrs with no kids. Over the past 1yr 1/2 we have been having money problems.  I currently work two jobs and  handle all the bills. My wife  works commission only which pays sometimes once every 3 months. We still continue to have two cars and a home which is very hard for me to pay for along with the other bills. I have made several attempts to explain to her that another job with a regular income will fix our money issues. I have suggested may a career change but she does not agree. She seems to feel that is the man responsibility to take care of the home. I find myself in a struggle and very depressed. We are living from check to check for about a year 1/2. We have no savings and our accounts are always over withdrawn. Every week we do not have any money to get to work or buy food for the house.  Every time I attempt to talk to her we get in a big argument over money. I am ready to give up. She is talking her anger out on me because we are always broke.  I don't know what to do. She does not want to cut back on the livings expenses such as sell the car etc...or find another stable employment. I am ready to move on with my life. I fell that I should not have to suffer anymore. I want the best for myself and my wife but I need her help, but if she will not help me I am ready to move on.  

  

Advice need! 

  

Thanks! 

wifes heels are dug in.  She is dead wrong to feel that it is only your responsibility to take care of the home - It's supposed to be shared!!!  One of the reasons you have no money is that your checking account is always overdrawn - with $25 being taken by the bank for every nsf check - good grief man - that adds up - have you ever added up those nsf chgs and told her to look.  Maybe she can't handle reality.  Just by what you say - she sounds selfish - but as Phil says 'no matter how flat you make the pancake, there's always two sides. 

  

I am going to tell you to somehow make contact with her and see if you can pentrate her cranial activity.
