Relying on your Husband/partner financially

[Sherry Lynn]

I've worked all my adult life and lived on my own, so I took care of myself before meeting my husband. But a recent injury has me home now and I might not go back to work.

Hubby has always taken care of the bills, so I could spend my earnings however I wanted. I have a checking account.. he has one... and we have one together. Thankfully he's really generous so I never have to ask him for money. He always gives me cash and transfers money into my account. Usually I just pay with a credit card, though, and he pays the bill when it comes in.

I'd hate it if I had to ask for money all the time. I think I want to find a part-time job, though, so I don't get so bored this winter.
