I married a widower (I'm 36 & he's 43) 2 yrs ago. He has 2 kids (ages 7 & 11) from his previous marriage. I have bonded with the kids and take care of our family (housework, cooking, etc... ) and work F/T. We have a great relationship but I am bothered that my he has all assets in the family trust (separate savings, house, retirement, investments, etc...) and I have not been included. The only thing we have invested together is is a joint checking that both our paychecks go in and out of for bills, plus a joint savings for which I am the only contributor. Whenever he gets extra money he puts it in the trust account. Is this okay? It just makes me feel that he doesn't consider me a true member of the family. I've tried to bring it up (feel awkward when I do) but he says it would not matter I'm not in the trust because we are married. Am I wrong to feel he should be contributing to our joing savings or at least include me in the family trust?
