Husband thinks I am a financial burden
Hi everyone! So I have been married 4 months, currently 13 weeks pregnant, and super stressed out. My husband makes about three times as much as me, and has an amazing job that he loves. I work the same amount of hours that he does, but make much less. That leaves him with taking care of most of our finances, but I do contribute as we have a joint bank account and all of our money goes in there. To compensate for the fact that I make much less, all of the house work, cooking cleaning falls on me, which I am ok with. Lately tho, my husband keeps bringing up the fact that he is the "cash machine" and I am not bringing enough to the table, and I need to be making closer to what he's making. He is constantly criticizing and belittling me making me feel like it's my fault he isn't living the dream life that he always wanted. I told him I can't leave my job now, because if I find a new job now I wont be entitled to the FMLA when the baby is born. I agreed to find a new job when the baby is born, but I feel like juggling a new baby looking for a new job while returning back to work and staying on top of the house work is going to be impossible. I really feel like giving up and telling him to go be with a dr or lawyer or whoever makes a lot of money
