Talking

I never question my decision to be with the guy I'm with. We met each other at a party and within a couple of days decided to get married.  It's been about six months now, and I'm pregnant with my first child. It hasn't been easy all the time. We angered more than a couple of people with our decision. Either way we've been mostly happy. We don't fight all that much, and he really does try to be considerate in ways that The Ex never was. 

The biggest struggle we face is trying to talk about the "big" things, like finances. That one in particular has caused the most strife. It's not that he doesn't make money, it's not that he doesn't consider in me in how we should spend it, it's that he just doesn't want to talk about it. I don't work and probably won't for awhile after the baby. He doesn't make a huge amount of money, but enough, but we unfortunately have a lot of bills and expenses, especially with a baby on the way. 

I just wish he would just sit down and have a discussion with me about what we are doing with this money and how we need to budget for the next six months, year, and so forth.  We live in an apartment now, and while a large part of me thinks we should refrain from buying a house, since it offends my green sensibilities, we do need to buy something in the next couple of years, but we are never going to be able to do that if we don't sit down now, and start figuring out where that money is going to come from.
