Me and my husband have a joint account. All money goes in there.
We do struggle at times (doesn't everyone right now?) The past week ive literally been using the money self check outs to pay for things with ten pences thats how skint I am.
Got paid today then need to wait to get paid in a weeks time. Didn't get much just enough to wangle a small food shop but enough for us.

Only to find out half way through the supermarket we have less to spend as dh has leant money out without even bothering to ask me. 😡

Aibu to see this as a massive breach of trust? He says it doesn't matter we will get it back in a couple of weeks and that he didnt put anything in the trolley so its evened out. I am going without things like razors etc just make means end (be fine next month had a big expense this month!) I just feel so angry and disappointed.

Although your doesn't need your permission to lend his money to others he should discuss it with you and if he was taking my money without talking to me id be pissed

Who is he lending money to? Completely unacceptable not to discuss with you.

It sounds like you need to sit down and have a proper conversation about finances if you're struggling as much as your post implies.

I would personally never put myself in a situation where I didn't have access to my own money and bank account, but if that's something the two of you have agreed to then he should, of course, ask you first.
