[quote=Anonymous]I personally don't feel like he should need to replace the light fixtures with his/"our" money if the other ones are perfectly functional and he's fine with the way they look.

However, him buying things like haircuts and golf clubs (?!) or work lunches out of the joint funds is way out of line.

Ask him whether the joint account is for things that you BOTH agree on, or whether one of you can buy whatever you want from the account. If he says you need to both agree, then tell him you'd like him to write a check this week for the total of whatever he's taken out of the joint account that didn't get your approval (give him some hints about what those things were) for let's say the last 2 years. If he changes his mind and says that each person can decide what's reasonable, tell him that you'll be getting new lights and that you'll give him advanced notice of when the electrician will be arriving so he can plan his meetings around it. And if he pushes back about the meetings, just take the day off to do it if you really want it done.[/quote]
