He got mad

He got mad with me because I opened a bank account to my name, I worked and he put my check in his account I used to make by that time like 1.300 and he said (my husband) here is your allowance of 200, because you need to help with the bills, of course I wanted to help but that was right of him to control mine money?

hey Avelina, just saying, should have asked him to add your name in his account to make it a joint account, with either party. That way you both have access to each others money.!!laugh dunno
Well he made that but when he got mad he broke it.
Hello Avelina,its very tough to judge anything without knowing the complete script...based on what youve said you were given 200 out of 1300 that you earned yourself...seems a tad unfair to me,call me old fashioned but i always believed in the total sharing of everything,responsibilities,money,good and bad times etc....only my opinion though....I Could be wrong dunno crying blues mumbling banana bouquet burger frog hole sheep
Well yeah, but I never was in charge of my money, I was not a spender, he paid all the bills of course but it was not a kind of control
I plainly state(naturally as I see it) that you( in relation to your husband) has reached the point of no return. Well it is upto you to decide what should be your next plan of action.....there are two options left with you....either you totally submit to him or get out of it.
he is your hubby ,half of your belongings are his and yes the bills must be payed ,so 200 seems reasonable...grin
laugh 200 seems reasonable
Well I said to him that we need a marriage counselor but he said that his health insurance doesn't cover it, so I couldn't do anything about it.
He's retired
He is retired???

How long have you two been together ???
Almost 4 years
I don't know in what age can retire there, but here is age of 65 you can get retirement. I see you are 34 may be it is the age gap given him the feeling that he has right to controllaugh The truth is dear we can say many things but it is you need to decide either you accept what he do or just kick the butt.
Another thing too, if he got mad because you opened an account in your name, says something to me. Your money that you earned should go into your account, not his. As for paying bills, isn't that a shared responsibility? Where's the rest of the money that's in his account that you worked for? Do you get any of that? You're being used Avelina, plain and simple. mumbling
It's not the amounts of money that is important, it's having someone control you as if you are inferior, rather than an equal partner.

If after paying your half of the bills and expenses out your own account there was only $20 left, that $20 would be more valuable than $200 handed out to you like a child's pocket money.
Have to agree with Jac on this... partially...
If the Monthly cost of living are creating difficulties and one party in this relationship is having a weakness or unrealistic vision about howmuch can be spent ...the other has to control the budget
Then it would still be about agreement, Boban.

If one party had a tendency to overspend, then someone could make an agreement whereby they willingly give the better financier in the partnership control over the money and accept an allowance.

This appears not to be the case here, however. Avelina appears to be saying she's having her financial control taken away from her against her will.
Yep, and thats the part I agree with you Jac ,however , lets keep in mind that this is very incomplete picture ,we have been presented here
She has been in this relationship for four years ,Im sure that by now they have seen and got to know each others characters under different circumstances
Well, We are getting divorce and the money is one of the problems, I am not perfect and he is not perfect, I am not trying to put him like a monster or something like that, it's hard to move on because of my self esteem and he's asking me to come back. I only wanted your opinion because I read some blogs and that is why I am here not for looking for someone to fix my life I put in my profile that I want friendship and I don't want pity or something like that, and I have feelings for him and it's hard you know.
I'm with KN on this. You're on a dating site, moaning about your husband?

Something's not right.
Make up your mind Avelina and stick with it, that's probably the most sensible thing you can do.

If you are getting a divorce, get out of there asap, things won't be getting any better between the 2 of you if a separation is announced.

Every break up is hard but to get on your own feet and set up your own life is what you probably should focus on. It might be difficult, but it will help yourself and your self-esteem if you manage to run your own life.

Sit down and start thinking. What do YOU want? Where do you want to go and what do you want to do with your life? Just think of YOURSELF and what's best for you and achievable. Self esteem is something you can work on.

It is your life and it is up to you to make changes so that you will get to live a life you like and enjoy - don't look at somebody else for that!!! Not easy and not happening overnight but you have to start somewhere.

Best of luck and hope we'll hear of some positive future plans of yours. handshake
You try to regain your self esteem and then with fullest of determination and having the best of faith in yourself move forward and then you shall see nobody on earth can stop you from reaching where ever you want to reach. The initial step is to discover what your destination is and the next step is to achieve self confidence that you can achieve it....the rest follows routinely.
You need to be yourself!
Nope. You did right.cheering

You worked for it and it is yours but...

It is only fair to continue contributing to the household. Imo spouses should contribute to the household in proportion to their earnings.

Thank for all your advice, I appreciate the time that all you gave, I will think and I will decide what is best for me.
If he wants to be annoyed by something, perhaps your presence on a dating site would be more relevant.
