[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I am a Scorpio.  He is a Taurus.

I went to CVS today on my lunch break and wanted to buy some small snacks for myself, but I could not b/c DH will not put money in the joint account.  Why do I have to go through this.  It is humiliating!  I cook and clean at home and he says I also have to give him money for the mortgage, etc.  It is just not fair! [/quote]

This thread makes no sense.

It sounds like no one is actually putting money into the joint account (or at least not significant amounts) since neither of you put your paychecks there.  And you're giving him mortgage money, etc., presumably from an individual account that you already have.  Why have a joint account then?

And you have your own income, but you don't even have enough $$ to buy small snacks at the store -- are you sure your husband isn't the only one that can't be trusted with money?

Maybe this is a case where there's an inequity in the amount earned (e.g., he makes significantly more than you) but you're both paying equally for shared expenses.  Being frustrated about that would make sense.  But that has nothing to do with whether or not you share a joint account.  Even if you both suddenly agreed to put your money in the shared account, you'd need to have a conversation about joint expectations behind money management, budgeting, etc.  [/quote]
