 That there are men out there that actually would tolerate their spouse spending sooo much money. This woman really has a major problem and it is not  about spending money or going on shopping sprees.  There is a more serious problem here and she needs to look deeper then what's on the surface.  All I can say is her husband must really love her  to keep going on with this putting all the responsibility on him.  I understand he is a Dr. but this is extreme and really taking advantage of the situation and her husband..
I have supported myself and my son for the past 15 years of my marriage.  All necessities, cloths, food, gas, etc.  But now I am not working and have no money left  I get abused for spending any of the money in our joint checking account.   Even for the very minute thing.  I was called a freeloader for asking him to buy my son and I a drink at an amusement park.  If  I write a check out  even  $20.00 I am told I am stealing his money. and he is going to take my name off the account.  All of the credit cards are in his name only and I have no access to any of them.
If Michael wanted to  he could set limits as far as maybe getting her her own credit card with a reasonable credit limits.  This could be a start with the money spending situation, but his wife has a deeper issue and reason for doing this.  It defiantly sound like she is trying to get even with him for something.  She should be kissing his feet and getting the help she needs. Knowing she has a man that  is putting his concerns on the back burner and her problem in the front and center.
