Help? Is it my husbands ego? His pride? Or is it insecurities?! Ive lost my patience for him and i need some serious advice! He works 2 jobs?

I dont trust my husband to handle our money anything past bills and a few hundred bucks left over.

In the past one time, hes secretly given his mom money which i found out through bank statements.

Hes also on 2 occasions used up everything in my sons savings account withoit notifying me. The first time i let it go and forgave him. He did it a 2nd time and i had enough.

Im a stay home mom full time so i dont have any income at all.

So now that ill be working some things gotta be discussed.

Ive asked him to ask his dad if he can come home just a 2 hrs earlier (he works for his dad) so he can watch the kids bc my mom has to go to work and he got really angry about this.

Then i told him id like to take over the remainder of the money after he pays bills and divide certain percentages for these below:

- emergency funds

- vacation funds

- Christmas funds etc

And he also got really angry.

Can sum1 please tell me wat his issue is?? Ive tried to be understanding that hes under a lot of stress bc he does work a 2nd job at home at night times everyday after his full time job but i still think this is no way to treat me as his wife as if ive done something awful. I feel guilty for going back to work and everytime i have to discuss something with him i have to always tippy-toe my way around him bc i already kno hes gonna get upset. He says its bc he hates, but could it be his ego? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

    Some people are just bad with money. Try to be sensitive to his feeling when you take away control of the household funds from him.
