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

I also do heard of husband paying for all expenses and do seemingly more blissful.. but maybe in other ways they are more worse than our spouse in terms of temper? I also had friends whose husband doesn’t give a cent to household and very stingy and wife is earning only admin salary. And yes we cannot compare each other husband like this. It will only cause unnecessary unrealistic expectation and resentment, or maybe result in bad marriage. I myself also pays 4:6 where my husband pays 60% and I pay 40% because both of us are working while he is earning more. In Singapore, with the living expenses , it’s really very difficult to be one to pay for all unless ur husband is earning like director’s salary. I also communicate with my husband on the split ratio.. and we come to terms. So no fighting after that. You will not be the only wife here struggling to contribute for the expenses.. and surely will never be the last one 😊 Hope that helps.
