My husband and I have had a joint bank account since we were married 20 years ago. But I do like to spend money on our daughters and I like to get my hair cut every few months and buy clothes each season. I don’t want to stop having a joint account but equally I’m really miserable at how this has come between us. I would suggest having a conversation with your husband about how it makes you feel to have your expenses scrutinised. Recognise the importance that you, as a couple, agree on an amount that feels reasonable for each to spend monthly as ‘personal expenses’.
