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

Definitely it’s normal to have a sense of resentment towards your partner. I’m sure each of you would have your own responsibility and part to play. Perhaps it’ll be good to lay them out on a table to see if he’s able to provide more since he’s earning more and once you’ve stabilised and you’ll try to contribute to match him as well. My suggestion is consider having multiple side incomes, depending on your own skills and expertise so this way you’ll have your extra income coming in as well. Remember to self love and be smart about certain matters!! ✨
