DEAR ABBY: I am medically retired and have mobility issues, so I\u0027m unable to be active or socialize.
I’m back at work after being a stay-at-home mom for the last decade. My job is in public schooling, and I earn less than $25,000 a year. My husband works for a Fortune 500 company and earns more than $120,000 per year. I understand that we have debt, and I’m willing to contribute, but he keeps my paycheque — all of it.Article content
To be honest, even as hard as he works and as much as he takes care of and provides for our family, I am not happy. It’s not that I plan to leave, but without my own money, I don’t even have an option to plan for the future. How can I convince him to allow me the money I earn, while assuring him that I’ll help to pay down our debt? — WORKING FOR NOTHING IN OHIOYour husband appears to be deeply insecure and controlling. You are a wife, not an indentured servant.
