[quote=Anonymous]OP here - I really think he thinks he’s saving the money for us and not a long divorce con (but I should probably try to have some protection for myself in any event). And that he thinks he should save it because he thinks the more money I have in my account - the more I would think I have to spend on Botox and trips. (Botox is something I might like to do if I felt like I could afford it :P ) On my student loans - he probably originally had some lofty idea that he would invest the money in something earning more than 6% and then got too risk averse to ever do it. He would rather save all our money and not spend but I guess at some point I said something to the effect of I’m not going to work and not spend any money and he gave up on saving my salary and instead saves his. This is really working my memory bank but I think he used to put more money in “my” account and then we got lazy after I could cover the expenses alone except now I’m starting to complain that I’m dwindling the account. He did put $15K in to cover the extra mortgage payment after I complained about that. I guess $19,200 total would cover it for the year and I think he would put that in - no questions asked. So I’ll ask. He doesn’t think I’m actually dumb - if I had something insightful to say about finances - he would listen / consider. He think it’s dumb that I can’t access any of my accounts or know what’s in them. I think it exasperates him but he’s also not really complaining that he is in charge LOL. [/quote]
