[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bigger picture: Is it a money thing or a control issue? (Or both?)

1. Money because you don’t have it - makes sense on spending anxiety.  This doesn’t seem to be the case.

2. Money because your DH grew up in a household where money was tight and there are still scars.  This may need therapy to help you communicate better together.

3. Money as a means to control you/family. Not good. How do you handle finances for medium size expenses? I say medium because big expenses should be a mutual decision, tiny expenses (coffee, groceries, gas) shouldn’t necessarily have a conversation (and if it does and you are financially stable then it may be abuse).

4. Control for the sake of control and bringing up gender norms. He may be feeling not so great about his masculinity… therapy…[/quote]

Yeah this guy sounds like he’d be so open to therapy. Probably he’d just watch a few YouTube videos if he even agreed to do it at all.

OP, your husband is a jerk. If he asked me to grout the shower I’d tell him where could shove the grout.[/quote]
