    Thought this was about him being insecure about her making more. After hearing the story, her impulse spending and bad money management is the problem. Him being away in the military doesn’t help. She needs adult supervision.

    It's easy to be "accountable" now that you have enough money to cover your habits. She needs to realize that, from his perspective, that's not accountability. That's fortunate circumstances compensating for a lack of situational awareness. Heather, you are living in different spheres of existence. Time is not progressing at the same rate for you and your husband. Before you talk about "getting him on board" now that you're in such a good position, you need to learn to communicate on his frequency. While he's down range, you've been pursuing your goals, making decisions for you, doing what feels right to you, and not really caring about the repercussions because he's not there a lot. But you've been doing that without enough consideration of the stress and burden he carries just trying to meet you half way in life. Now you've made this huge jump. And if your tone on the phone is any indication of your tone with your husband, there is a, perhaps unintentional, condescending nature that accompanies your newfound success. If you can't address recognize and resolve that within yourself, you're marriage is going to turn toxic. Even if you can't get into couples therapy right away, I recommend going therapy and conveying to your husband that while you would love to go to counseling together, you're at least going to seek counseling to address your own issues in order to be a better wife and partner to him.

    As Muslims we believe the men are financially responsible and if the woman works then she gets to keep all her money to do as she wants with it. She is not responsible for any of the financial side. I hope he does take some responsibility as a husband but limits it to just what he needs to provide for basic things like food, shelter etc. Also in Islam the woman are responsible for guarding their husbands property which includes his earnings. So I hope she also starts being aware of that and respects his hard earned income. Keeping things entirely separate on his part is just as bad in my opinion as her being wasteful when they are both married.

It is hard to get her on board to living on rice and beans when she doesn’t have the issues herself and doesn’t understand. We are not combining finances until we’re married but it’s still difficult now.

Men are just too intimidated by how great I am!" Trust me, men want to date intelligent and successful women. THAT is not the reason they are avoiding you 😂.

    That’s great. Do you plan to have kids? If so, who will raise them? The man because him cutting his salary to raise kids would be less of a financial blow than the woman who is the breadwinner? Or would the woman stay home and the household income is even less than if the man stayed home? Or would strangers in daycare raise the kids? I think if both parents are career oriented, maybe including grandparents or someone in the child rearing process would give both enough time to work and feel comfortable that their children aren’t being raised by total strangers. If kids aren’t involved I could care less about relationship dynamics tbh. But once children are involved, I have questions.

That means he can see every penny she spends which sound like where his trust issues are. If having physically separated bank accounts makes him feel better that's fine but when you sit down every month to do the budget the banks statements are laid out on the table.

Her question is really about how to avoid paying her own debts. Before her raise, she had an excuse for not paying her debts. And she could ignore them and keep her big spending habits. Now that she makes good money she doesn’t have an excuse, so she wants to combine finances so she can use her husband’s money to pay the debts. And she could keep spending big.
