Man earns 75% more than his wife but refuses to pay maid’s salary and household/child necessities, says wife “can afford” them

A woman took to social media asking others for advice on how to deal with her “stingy” partner who refused to pay for household necessities or their helper’s salary because he thought she could afford them.

In her anonymous Facebook post to popular confessions page SGWhispers, the woman shared that her partner would only pay for meals eaten out and doctor visits but refuse to pay for “Shopping (kid’s growing up stage thing, stroller, walker, high chairs etc) Household necessities Child necessities (milk powder, diapers etc) Helper’s salary”.

She added that he earned more than her and their doctor’s visits and eating out were rare occasions, while the rest of the expenses were monthly.

“so basically im the one spending more… i dont know whether he is acting blur or he just being stingy to me… whenever i bring up the issue, ended being gaslighting… i told him to take up helper’s salary as its 20% of my salary but not even 10% of his… but he always reluctant to give, and i have to remind him every month”, the woman wrote.

She asked others for advice on how to deal with him.

Those who commented on her post advised that the pair sit down to discuss finances and possibly even have a joint bank account where they contribute proportionately according to their salaries.
