Why is the content in my WYSIWYG editor so different from how it appears when published?

Our association's website is maintained by a professional web designer. It's a good setup, in theory. I have some coding knowledge and do a considerable amount of design for my office, but I would certainly be overwhelmed if I was on the line for everything regarding our website.

I regularly add pages and blog posts on my own. When I do, the WYSIWYG editor routinely butchers what I submit. It looks fine in the editor, but when I publish the page, the results are often all in italics, carriage returns are all wrong, and sometimes the styles just don't seem consistent. I waste a lot of time trying to make the content look not-embarrassing.

We have asked our web designer about this. She responded by doing something that fixed the problem very temporarily, without really volunteering any information, which solution lapses in short order back to the way it was before. She takes a long time to respond to queries and requests, so I would like to figure out how to fix the problem on my own. We don't have the organizational or financial capital to do a website overhaul right now, or to hire a new designer at this time.

Is this a common problem?

EDIT: Formatting
