We both work. I am not much of a shopper.
If you want something, then go out or go online, and buy it for yourself.

I also realized that I was getting mad at him because he wasn't reading my mind, so now I ask him if I need help with something, like bringing in a big box from the car. I also give him a timeframe, i.e. "I don't need it done right now" or "I really could use that because I need to do ABC".
Results have been great! Changing my behavior really made a difference. I hadn't realized how resentful I sounded to him!
You need to get in touch with your feminine side, that male is controlling you.
