I’'m on unpaid maternity leave. My husband still expects me to pay half the rent. Is this fair? My husband earns 4x more than me (I earn 68k and he earns 280k). Our rent is 2.6k/month. We've been splitting rent 50-50 since we moved in together, before we got married. The arrangement did not change after we got married and now that we have a baby, with me having 0 income, so I'm relying on my personal savings. | say personal because we don't have a joint account. We are currently looking for a house and I'm also expected to contribute for the deposit (75% of my total savings). Is this fair? What is the best way to approach this? A few things to highlight: - utility bills used to be split 50-50 but since | stopped working, he pays for them. « since there is no joint account and he doesn't give me any allowance for baby stuff, | ended up buying most of them. Baby is only 4months old and breastfed exclusively. * he pays for most of the groceries bill and dine out. If | go by myself, | have to pay. So | try not to. + he funds our overseas travel, once a year to visit his family. » we don't have any loan or debt.
