He's being fair about things. The agreement would be that the spending money after budgeted expenditures would be split evenly between the two of us.
But I do need to do some financial calculations to see if I can manage.
It does bother me though. My husband and I have completely different approaches to finances. He's the most controlled man alive, with these teensy tinsy columns for every expense, and transferring money between banks depending upon use, and every little expenditure planned in advance. Like he'll transfer $5 a month to a column for an annual $60 expense. It's a godsend, I guess, for me to have someone who's the very opposite of me financially. But maybe it works so well because it only peripherally touches me.
No. I'm not sure I could live that way.
And I don't know that I could totally give up therapy.
And maybe I'm jumping at this in part because of the anxiety of moving. I'm not at all convinced telecommuting will work, and I just couldn't find a brand new job for the first time ever. I've never gotten a job, you know. My college job I got through my mother. And my real job was working for my daddy. I've never so much as interviewed. And I flunked my only lie detector test, even though I was telling the truth. And I'm terrible at people politics.
And I don't want to leave therapy.
And I don't want things to change. Not even good change.
