My husband and I have been married a little over 5 months. A few weeks ago he was offered a new job and we will be moving to a new state in a matter of weeks. However, this has been more troubling than we thought.

The main problem is money issues. We now have seperate accounts but are wanting to put them together when we move. He is on salary so no matter how many days he works or misses, his checks are always the same amount. I, however, work on an hourly base. And I'm paid biweekly. So missing work is sometimes not an option for me. Luckily, I found me a job in Georgia that pays the same, but is also hourly and biweekly. I can't seem to get a salery based job.

However, I believe my husband sometimes forgets this and wants me to keep taking days off so we can go to Georgia to get things done. I know it's important to get some things done as soon as possible, such as getting a place to stay, changing our licenses and plates, all that jazz, but when it seems that I'm running low of money or get a small check, he really gets nervous and wonders why. Then I must read my statements aloud to tell him where my money is going (which now is only on groceries and gas) and then explian over and over on how the more hours I miss at work, the less money I get. Then before I know it he is wanting me to ask for more days off and the whole process starts over.

He's only had jobs that our salary based so I don't think that he understands what it's like to work on hourly based. We've dated for 3 years before marriage I was hoping he'd get it by now since the only jobs I have had are hourly based.

I'm at my limit with him on this. We are constantly fussing about money and moving that I'm stressed beyond reief. Not to mention I'm afraid we are going to run out of money if this keeps up.
