[quote=Anonymous]Have you told DH that his reaction to your talking about money is affecting you? It's not like you can ever shield him from it, you're married so you will have to talk about money. ask him what will make the conversation easier. Is it having it regularly (the 1st and 15th of the month? Every tuesday night for 10 minutes? What?) Also, point out that you're in this together and that you want it to be a collaboration. I am like your DH in that, whenever my spouse send me little reminders to watch the spending until the 15th or something, I get stressed and feel attacked. I know he's just more on top of it that me, and also, I feel accused of spending too much. I just need to realize that it's his way of keeping us both aware of our account balances and bills situation. I would recommend switching up covering the checking account every few months, so it doesn't just become a dynamic of you nagging him--needs to be a two-way street.[/quote]
