Hello everyone,

Just a gist of it, I am paying for the house loan, the utilities & groceries (milk & diaper for my baby) and my bring home pay is around 30k per month & the Mrs is bringing home around 5k a month.

We had a fight this month and she exploded saying she doesn't get any money from me & her colleagues husbands all "put money in their purses when they see its empty".

I am reluctant to give because majority of the money I make goes to my son's education via investments & I do not expect her to chip in at all for the maintainance of the family well being.

Am I the asshole?

Bro,

I earn less than you but I paid for everything in the household except loan payment for my wife car and I still give my wife fix pocket money every month.

Your income quite high and from my opinion 2.5K for her per month looks reasonable although I must admit that women tend to spend their money for unnecessary things like handbag, shoes etc.

For me I learnt the lesson and now under declare my bonus or side income. Need to be frugal in case something bad happened in future.
