I am newly married, less than 2 years, and we are both in our late 40's. My new wife has made plans to do following which does not sit well with me and is a hard pill to swallow.
1. Going to Arizona with a girlfriend for a long weekend.
2. Going to a wedding in Georgia without me and bringing her kids instead.
3. Going to Puerto Rico for a Half Marathon with a girlfriend.
She also had plans to go to Las Vegas with a girlfriend too, but that fell through. We haven't had an us vacation since we've been married. Last year she also went on a Las Vegas trip with her girlfriend too.
My wife makes more money than I do. I get paid well and have a good career and I pay for most of the expenses around the home, leaving me with almost nothing left over. She has extra money to go on vacations like this and says if I want to go on a vacation with HER than I need to pay for both of us to go from my money.
I don't think this is fair, we are married and we are suppose to pool our money together and pay expenses and with what is left over we can go on trips, vacations, etc. She does not see it that way. Her money is her money and the MAN is suppose to pay for going out, expenses, vacations, etc.
I also feel left out and hurt. When I talk to her about it she says, "Don't take it personal". "You need to get more friends to do things with". "These trips are for me and my kids, NOT you".
I feel if she goes on ALL these trip without me and I have to:
1. Drop her off and pick her up at the airport.
2. Watch her 3 dogs, feed them and clean up after them.
3. Take care of house and upkeep while she is gone.
4. Baby sit her daughter, drop off at school and cook meals.
5. Go to work and make money to afford her expenses.
6. Be happy about it and think nothing of it.
7. Plus, save up enough money to go on a trip for us.
I think I will LEAVE HER and walk out and file for divorce. This is just TOO BIG OF A PILL TO SWALLOW.
Am I wrong feeling this way?
