10/17 What Would Robin Do?

Quote From: broker1

Open up your own checking account today and gradually put your money in and eventually you should have enough.  If he gives you money to buy something, buy, bring it home, then return it

and get the money and deposit it your account.  When you have enough, stand on your own two feet and tell him what you expect and that you are not going to tolerate it anymore.  You do not have to be greedy just practical and if you can demonstrate to him that  your practrical, he no doubt will loosen up, if not, pack up all you can and move out while he is at work. " If you want me back", it's on my terms and if that does not work, you do not need him anyway.  There are still plenty of good men out there.

I wouldn't advise anyone to be sneaky and unless she has a track record of being irresponsible with money, she shouldn't have to prove that she can be practical. What wrong with declaring the relationship open for renegotiation NOW, and demanding equity in all matters, including financial? A man who needs to retain that much control, and is unwilling to compromise in a relationship is not worth keeping. It will cost him a whole lot more if she leaves him, and I'm sure he knows that.
