Before my husband and I got married 3 months ago, we lived together for about a year. I was already living there when he moved in and as a result all of the bills were in my name. I also continued to pay the bills until he got a job in the city we now lived in. I added him to my bank accounts so that he could withdraw and deposit money at his leisure. We attended marriage counselling at our church for 10 weeks and came to the agreement that he would manage our family's bank account. Ever since our marriage he has rationed me out money. I don't like that. I have mentioned to him about getting separate personal accounts and maintaining the joint family account. When I told him that the amount of the allowance was not the problem but the feeling I received from that was the problem he jumped to the conclusion that I just didn't want to receive money from him and that we should have one account with one ATM card and one check book.<P><BR>I'm very frustrated and I need some advice as to how to resolve this conflict. Should I continue to get allowances or should I just open my own account in private?<P>~~~ frustrated newlywed.<P>------------------<BR>"I Can Do ALL Things Through Christ Which Strengthens me."<BR>Phil 4:13
