I am a full-time student and a mother of 2. My husband treats me with little respect in reguards to money--if he gives me a ten and knows I am going to spend 8.99, he wants the change. He does have great plans for the money I will make though.

One would think so. But many men become insecure if a woman has more education or makes more money than they do. It might be better if you both agree to the same plans for that money. Besides infidelity, money is usually what breaks up a marriage.

I doubt you it will be any better. He will probably ask you for money when you have a job and/or he will expect you to pay for a lot of things with "your" money. He is being rude to want the change back. I could understand if he gave you a 50 or something--if you all were on a tight budget. But that sounds mean and rude, not to mention ridiculous. What if you need that dollar 1. :)

Sounds like your husband needs Dr. Phil! What are HIS plans for the money you make? Does he allow you an allowance? When I first got married, I got a mere $5 a month. Seems sad, but we were strapped for money. It was my $5, though to spend how I pleased. I think it is about whether or not you have money.

If he has no respect for you now, he will not have any later. It sounds like he is planning on having an ATM machine that will not only dispense money but will do housework as well. He sounds like a control freak. Too bad you have children in the mix, it makes leaving very difficult.

Married to a cheapskate, aren't you? well, there's nothing much you can do about that right now with children except trying to get a job, start saving money (without a single penny for the miser hubby), study for a higher degree and at the right time go your own separate way.

No. If he doesn't respect you now he won't respect you for graduating or for anything you accomplish. He needs to learn to love and respect you for who you are. Material wealth comes and goes in a second, and there are no guarentees in life.
I'm not saying he can't change. God can and does change men's hearts, but your accomplishments, no matter what they may be will not.

It sounds like your husband is very controlling. If you do not seek help for your marriage it will continue this way and you will end up miserable throughout your whole marriage. The tone of the marriage is almost always set early in the marriage. Please seek counseling and make him go, if you want your marriage to work.

NO! If he has little or no respect for you now, what makes you think he'll have more respect for you after you graduate. I went to college with grad students who divorced their wifes upon graduating. Lots of luck!!

Probably not. He sounds like an abuser, and you should seriously consider ending the relationship. You, not he, should be making plans for your earnings. Ultimately, you will have to ask yourself the famous question: are you better off with him, or without him?

No. You should have married someone who respected you in the first place. Why would having a degree make you more trustworthy in his eyes with $1.01?
