[quote=Anonymous]OP - It sounds like that micromanaging your wife as if she were a child is not very productive and is just creating resentment. Are you having a hard time making ends meet? Do you need to be saving more? If so, have a conversation with her about how to reach those goals and listen to her ideas, and come up with a mutually agreeable solution (maybe you cut your cable habit, she cuts other spending, which may or may not include grocery spending depending on what else is cut and how much you need to save). If you can afford what she spends on groceries and are just offended by the amount of money she spends, or believe your saving rate should be higher, then that is a discussion about your goals as a family - whether they are in sync and how to get them closer in sync, which probably will include how you each feel about money.
