Single Earner Dad A Wit’s End With Stay-At-Home Mom Who Refuses To Stick To A Budget
I’ve tried budgeting with a partner before, and I can tell you—it only works if both people are actually on board. Otherwise, it feels like trying to row a boat with one oar while the other person just sits there enjoying the ride.
That’s exactly the situation in this story from r/MiddleClassFinance. One person is doing all the heavy lifting to track spending and set up a system, while their partner refuses to stick to it or even participate.
The result? A financial mess that feels less like “teamwork” and more like a solo project with two credit cards.
