This husband refuses to buy out half of his wife’s house, but he also won't go in together on a new home together. Yet he still thinks it’s unfair to kick in $2K a month for living expenses. What's the fair play here?

My husband and I have been married for two years. We both earn six figures, although I make much more than him.

He says he doesn’t want to pay rent, as he is not getting anything in return and the money is wasted. He thinks I am making money from him. I have offered to let him buy half of the home, and he has no interest in doing that. He complains that all my stuff is here, and mostly the home is mine. I have offered to move so we can get a place together, and he says that is not an option unless I want to put all the money up front and buy the house.

You’ve known each other for four years, you’ve been married for two, and you are both on your second marriages. I support your decision to have separate bank accounts, at least for now, and to have some arrangement where your husband pays his way. He pays more than half of the expenses on your home, but you have also spent $650,000 on a home and worked hard to pay it off by your mid-40s.I assume you had a conversation about finances before you married, and you jointly agreed to this $2,000.
