Oh selfish regarding money

My oh and I run a holiday home business. We built it together but he did more of the heavy lifting and technical stuff. But I also cooked and did normal housework stuff at the same time.
business is good and I do all the change overs, ironing, cleaning plus do our own housework. All income goes into our joint account.
oh meanwhile has been helping a friend do building work at his house a few miles away and is getting paid cash…. Which is ‘his’ cos ‘he is doing the work’.
um…. I got a bit stroppy - surely some of the money he is earning there should go in joint account? I have no opportunity to earn extra money like he is.
should he share??

You've been married long enough to have your children grown up and move out. I'm genuinely baffled that either of you could view money as anything other than completely shared ownership of everything. If either myself or my husband was in a position to earn some extra money it would be both of ours without question.
