[quote=Anonymous]I too handle all of the family's money. I don't think DH even knows what bills we pay, how much they are or when they're due. The only thing I know for sure he knows are the car payments because he negotiated those deals. Otherwise, I'm the magical fairy that takes care of making sure all the bills are paid and everything we need gets bought. If anything, I'm the one monitoring what he's spending to keep him in check.

I'd be super concerned about that comment and say you'd need to discuss this further. My neighbor is in this conundrum right now. I don't know how her staying home with the kids came about initially (whether it was discussed or more her idea or his idea), but she's in year 7, and it's still a common complaint from him to her about what she's contributing to the family. And having to act like a teenager asking their parent for money when she wants to get her hair done or buy new clothes or go out for dinner.

Also, is he planning on cutting you off from ALL access to money and bank accounts and controlling everything so you have no idea what's going on? That's a very dangerous situation to be in. [/quote]
