I came home from work on a Tuesday to find a boat trailer in my driveway. Mike had spent $8,500 from our joint savings without a word. Not when we discussed our kitchen renovation last month. Not when I asked why our balance was lower. Not over any of the dinners that week. He said it was a surprise. I said it was $8,500. We have a joint account because we are supposed to make joint decisions. I am not angry about the boat. I am angry that he does not think our money is actually ours.

Sandra has a separate personal account she does not explain to me. Last year she spent $1,100 on a massage chair without asking. I never said anything because I figured we each have some spending freedom. I have wanted a fishing boat my whole life. It was $8,500 not $85,000. I take care of all the car maintenance and never charge for my time. I honestly thought Sandra would be happy for me. The moment I buy something I actually wanted she files a case. She is not upset about the money. She is upset she did not get to say no.
