[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband watches our bank account like a hawk this has been an issue since getting married. Yesterday he called me at work to demand what on earth I could have spent $18 on at Starbucks. I basically told him I was not responding, and then later after calming down from being livid said that I was going to flat out ignore questions like that, how dare he thinks controlling me like that is on the table, and how I was going to start taking out cash every week so I can buy lunch, CVS runs, etc out from under his gaze. He apologized a lot and said that with our recent home purchase he's just way more anxious and he feels out of control.

Moving forward, what would you do? Should I just get my own private bank account. this is def not the first time, just one of the more offensive ones, IMO[/quote]Wish my dh could see what real controlling is like so he wouldn't go nuts when I just check to make sure the thing that was charged on an outlet clothing site was really something he charged and not some stranger with his credit card number.  Sorry, OP, not what you asked about but getting a separate checking account for your individual purchases sounds like a good idea.[/quote]
