We’ve been together for 4 years and married for 6 months. We used to be long distance while I was in my home country, and during that time he would often send me money and was very generous.

But things changed after I moved to the U.S.

Now, I don’t have access to any of his bank accounts and I have to ask him for every expense even basic things like food and tampons. I currently don’t have a job yet because I’m still processing my papers.

I asked him if he could give me around $100 a month so I could manage basic personal needs, but he said we “don’t have money for that.” At the same time, he spends about $150 or more on his hobbies without issue.

Whenever I bring up money, he seems annoyed or says I’m exaggerating, and sometimes it feels like I’m being gaslit about how often he actually spends on himself.

At one point I told him that if I don’t have any financial support, I would stop doing housework, and he just said “sure.”

I honestly feel stuck and I’ve been thinking about divorce, but I don’t know if I’m overreacting or if this situation is actually unhealthy.

I also want to add that he bought a house under his name only. I’m not sure if that plays into why he’s very strict with money now. He does occasionally buy me things like makeup and other small items.

Hi everyone, I’m a foreign-educated nurse from the Philippines applying for NCLEX in Oregon.

I recently got my evaluation and it says:

“Equivalent to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing except no evidence of theory hours in psychology and sociology.”

I’m worried, has anyone had the same result? Were you still allowed to take the NCLEX, or did the Oregon State Board of Nursing require you to complete Psychology and Sociology courses first?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experience. Thank you!
