All because of a hoover

I went out and bought a new hoover from the joint bank account without telling my husband; he was away. We both work and earn similar salaries. The old hoover barely sucks up anything and I’ve been saying we need a new one since lockdown. I just decided I’d had enough. My husband found out and has lost the plot. How dare I spend half his money without consulting him; it was underhand and devious of me…and now he has taken half the money out of the joint accounts without telling me. He’s just told me to take out the rest ie my half.

The thanks above was for the shuttle worth clip. I haven’t worked out how to quote it seems. To the questions above, we had completely different upbringings and financial circumstances. And the surplus accounts are the joint ones he started to touch after the row. Why have I posted here? I guess this time his behaviour has to my mind been completely absurd and controlling. I’ve had enough but still somehow think I’m the one in the wrong. I need to get past that. Thanks for all the feedback

Its a new hoover not a new man.
Tell him piss off.

Wouldn't you have such a lovely life if you could spend your wages as you see fit without him hovering over you and treating you like crap?

Does anyone know of an organisation or group I could go and talk to about what I’m experiencing? I need someone to tell me I’m not going mad and to confirm that his reaction (to me buying a bloody hoover) is not normal.

Well most of us on here are telling you that already.
