I need to know whether this is normal or if I'm going crazy.

My partner is older than me and when I met him he owned a house and I just came out of uni.

He earns more than me, and we started living together.

Anyway. I pay for our two cars and the shopping etc, and he pays the bills.

I'm now pregnant and we are trying to buy a house.

He will offer to pay for things for me and then throw it back in my face.
He bought me some trousers cos I'm outgrowing them all and said he would give me the money.. and then he never did and now he's moaning there's no food (which there is).. but not as much as he would like and I said well as you were going to buy me some trousers I couldn't get as much. He then says he is bailing me out because he has to give me money but he offered to buy them for me? Confused.

Anyway finances aren't good. At the moment we live in HIS home and apparently he pays for everything which isn't true.

When we get the new house he wants me to get rid of my bank account completely and have a joint one. I said no and now he wants my wages to be paid into a joint bank account and then whatever is left over can be 'drip fed' into my own account. He said all couples do this? Do they?

He also wants me to get rid of my car so his car is the only car we have.

I started crying because I'm so confused. Is this normal?

He messaged me this morning saying

There's no point ignoring me I finish work at 5 are you going to be home?

I give up. I can't do this. I'm just so worried about where we are going to live now.

Ask him to transfer your share of the savings to you.

If he does then you will have a safety net. Maybe even a deposit for renting.

If he doesn't you will know his real intentions.
