Should my husband or my dad take care of my finances?

Okay…I am a foreigner who is married to french national.I only married him recently and for every single expense for our wedding to my visas and my plane tickets it’s all paid for by my father.My husband is very childlike and still lives with his mother and my family are worried because it looks like he doesn’t not know what responsibility is.I can stay with him in France for a few months before my work permit comes out.But my father has refused to go on paying and supporting me financially because he thinks it is now my husband’s responsibility but my husband still expects my father to pay even though my father has paid for everything from wedding arrangements to visas and tickets and I feel like it’s out of the question to ask my husband to take care of me.How can I take care of myself when I can’t get a job yet until my work permit comes out?and do you think my husband should be responsible to take care of me or I should just leave it to my father all the time?

Answer #1

I think if youre old enough to get married youre old enough to take care of yourself. That could mean you on your own, or you and your husband make an agreement. Your father has already done more then most fathers would agree to do. If you cant support yourself and you dont have a job and he cant support you and him with his job, you shouldnt have gotten married. It is more then fair for you and your husband to have to support your self .
