[quote=Anonymous]OP, when I read the first couple of sentences I didn't think all that much of what your dh did because I handle the bills in our family and I have alerts for whenever our card number is used and the card isn't present and I have alerts for charges over a certain amount.  But generally I just confirm that dh made a particular charge if it seems high and questionable - although he used to be quite a spendthrift and I had to work on not trying to control every dollar but that's a story for another time.

But I didn't read much further until it became clear that your dh is controlling.  First it's very odd that the spender in the family is riding herd on the thrifty person.  That's a red flag in my view.  Second, why aren't you folks combining your resources?  My dh and I jointly own the money that we inherited when our parents died.  Third, even if you don't combine resources, your dh's lack of transparency about his family assets is rather disturbing.

No, I would say that this is not normal.[/quote]
