My mother passed away last year and I have just inherited a five figure sum.
I have been married for 49 years and over 30 years ago, my husband suggested I open a bank account in my name, which I did. Pension money and gifts goes into that account. Upon receiving my inheritance which went into our joint account I said “I would like that money to go into my personal account”, as I had envisaged sharing some of the money with my two adults children, and also next year is our 50th anniversary, which I had intended to use some of the money for both of us to go somewhere special. Now my husband is really upset, he has transferred the money into my personal account ( I did not asked him to do that). He keeps making comments about when we go out “ am I going to pay half” etc. he will not talk to me properly. I have apologised for not thinking it through. I do not know how to get passed this, it’s like a barrier between us.
any ideas, suggestions would be a great help.
