I can't imagine anyone in a marriage not knowing what the bills are...I was a stay at home mom for 15 years and was very involved with the financial.

She must be QUITE surprised about your budget. Boy, is she for a rude awakening as a single gal.

Keep heading to the tough love stance. She will be angry with the finances but it is reality. When people divorce, they have to take over their own finances. When people divorce, they don't get family time with their ex and kids. In other words, they don't get their cake and eat it too. My dear husband, is learning this for the past 3 weeks or so.

I am hoping, in my relationship, that my husband want to reconcile. However, at least I am working toward detaching my relationship...if he chooses not to want to come back and work for the marriage. There is a good chance that he won't...
