He drives me mad. I gave up my job 4 months ago to Home Educate our sick child. He earns all the money, its quite possible to live comfortably on his wages.
But we're always skint. We don't have a joint bank account.....never have had in 20 odd years. He works nights so is always around me from 1pm til 10pm when he goes to work.
He's started making comments about he's the only grafter etc. I've just worked out our finances and have asked him if I can take control of the finances as we need to budget. I'm the one who pays all the bills. He was up for this when I gave up work but now apparently I'm a control freak and telling him what to do.
He made a throw away comment along the lines of how I need to change the kitchen towel on the drainer once in a while....which I do but responded with the fact that I don't need to be told what to do. To which he said "wow you really don't like being told what to do do you?!" To which I asked him not to treat me like a child which was stupid as I knew he'd respond with "you act like one".
This all resulted from me wanting to take control of the finances. It's my birthday Friday and I know he hasn't got me anything as we're skint yet he's had plenty of time and money to plan. I'm fed up. Who's being unreasonable here please?
