I am exhausted!

Vent

I have been married for less than a year now. Me and my wife both are earning. Me for 6 years and she for 4 years.

We didn't discuss finances before marrying as whenever I tried to bring discussion, she avoided it.

One fine day after a month or so, I asked her about savings or what investment she has in her name. She had no savings and the RD and VPF investment she has been doing has only been started two months before our marriage.

This seems so fishy to me. Who starts VPF & RD in today's world that too two months before marriage. I asked her to follow the 30-30-40 rule and contribute to household expenses but she clearly mentioned that she is not going to stop the ongoing investments. Her argument was "I am saving for both of us."

I was okay with it until today when I didn't receive my salary

for two months and she paid for bills and everything. As soon as my due salary was credited, she asked for her money back.

I am cooked, my brains are fried and I feel cheated. Neither she regrets nor she gets my point. She doesn't want to talk about it at all!!!!!

Am I overreacting or what, need outside perspective and how are you dealing w finances in your marriage.
