Feeling down and resentful towards husband.. going to work soon (part time). Need somewhere to rant

Husband earns a lot more but still expects me to contribute proportionately e.g I contribute 1k and he contributes 4k. We are still paying mortgage half half. I just feel resentful because I know people or friends where husband will just pay for everything.. but we have joint acc so we just use from there. Trying not to be calculative since we are saving for a house where he’ll paying more since he has more savings but just can’t help it… Also feeling more down everyday.. can post natal blues be so late? About 3 months plus already

In my case I earn more than my husband. I still expect him to share according to ratio, help out at home (50 50) coz both of us should contribute to the upkeep of the house since we r both living there. (but recently both of us just hired part time cleaning service as too busy with 4 month baby) Do take care, I feel after pregnancy, dealing with the overwhelming baby chores, back to full time work, can cause stress and also sometimes make me upset over many things. Most importantly, work out an arrangement that u both r OK and happy.
