The conversation of who pays the bills and budgets the finances went relatively smoothly considering that we tend to fight about money.
I reread a letter from my mom where she equates money with power in a relationship. Regardless of that thought, I am glad to be done with the money.
Now I can get the money I need from what Will tells me we have, while at the same time knowing if he’s telling the truth because I also have access to accounts (just as he had when I paid the bills).
Know what? I’ve got people reading what I’m typing, so I’ll finish later.
This entry is one day out of the journal I kept while I was still in the marriage. The whole thing, in order, is the book: My Abusive Marriage . . . and what i’m doing in it. Or read the first pages if you want to see whether it’s for you.
