My wife and I both work and make about the same each month. At the end of the month she always complains about having to pay half of the bills(rent, utilities, cable). She has two girls from a previous marriage who live with us also. I also pay her health insurance and buy most of the groceries. Am I being unfair asking for half?

Ok....All I am asking is to split the things we both use. Rent, water, electric, cable and phone...that's it. I help a lot with the girls getting them things they need and want. Her insurance is taken out of my paycheck.
For the people who say it's stupid to split, why? Why should one person have to pay more when it is equal usage? And isn't having a joint account for bills the same as splitting? You both put the same amount in each check, right?
Believe me, if I could afford to pay for everything, I would. I want to do everything I can for her.
