I'd be upset too! He may make most of the money, but marriage is a partnership. It sounds like you take care of everything at home. Does he pay you for this? After all, a full-time live-in housekeeper, nanny and cook is not free. Also, when was the last time he went to the store and saw what the prices are? Perhaps, if he thinks you spend too much, he should try to do it himself and see how much he spends. I know that if I sent my hubby to the store, he'd come home having spent much more than I would AND we wouldn't have enough food to last the week. I'm sure we'd have some steak and chips though...lol.

This is not just a question of money - it's a question of value... does he not value what you offer to the partnership? Perhaps he needs to be reminded.
Thanks for this!
