“Wow, so much sass in this comment section! You are one month postpartum — please don’t feel bad about asking how to approach this. Everyone here should know that you’re in a delicate stage right now, sending you love and healing.”
“Some partners might not know how to or even consider approaching this. My partner and I typically don’t discuss who will take care of what. We just handle things. Sometimes together, sometimes individually, but all bills get paid on time. I enjoy that we don’t have many discussions surrounding finances. I am an autopay type; he is not. We approach bills differently and have yet to discuss medical bills. It’s not like Dad sees the bills; they are solely coming to Mom, and we are constantly reminded.
I am waiting until after birth to get itemized bills. I’ll try to get some knocked off and then approach him with what is owed. I’m not sure what I expect him to help with yet, as he pays most of our rent and will probably take care of all bills for a portion of my leave. I know he will help with my medical bills if I ask, but I’m also not sure how I will go about this yet.”
