We have split house responsibilities and I always take care of my part. Thing is he asks me for money which most of the time I don't have he gets upset and stops taiking to me! I'm really baffled here.

 Hi, I understand how frustrating must be for you, and its very unfair that he gets mad at you and gives you the silence treatment.I think that getting mad at each other won't solve the problems. You've been married for 4 years now, so I feel that you both are comfortable enough to sit down and put the finance on the table and make a planFind the right time and the right mood, because man are kind of sensitive when it comes to having a serious talk. You know what they say: we're drama, overreacting, but I've come to learn that they're the ones that cannot handle pressure :-)Anways, make a financial plan together, how much each make, how much is needed each month, so on... Having a talk and making a plan is the only way to fix the financial problems and stop the fighthing. You're not the only married couple that fights over finance. So don't feel overwhelmed, discouraged. Unfortunately many do, but what's worst is the lack of communication. Just wait for the right time to talk, but as soon as you do, the better...Hope you and your husband can have a nice talk and compromise.Good luck!
