Sorry red, I'll start looking for jobs tomorrow! :op
seriously tho, It's just taking the proverbial when someone sits at home and spends all the money you've worked for every sodding month and then has the cheek to say - " well, I've done the dishes"
confront them, if they're not willing to change then you change...
change your bank account
change the names on the household bills etc
change everything that gives them the right to have access to the money.
And if none of that works then it's time to change the locks!

perhaps open separate bank accounts? But it seems more of a communication problem/relationship problem that is manifesting itself as a financial one.
People can be odd though, on a similar note, there is a man my husband works with who has just had a baby. His wife gave up work (or i think she used to work from home as a translater and plans to perhaps pick it up again in the future) to have the child. The man works about 8 in th morning and rarely leaves before 9 at night. They both work in the city for an investment bank. When this chap gets home at about 9.30-1000, she then says that she has been 'stuck indoors being mum' all day and it is his turn to take over. He then does all the night feeds and stays up with the baby while his wife sleeps.
Now I have to say, I'm all for equality, but as my husband works long hours and I am at home and perfectly able to sleep in the day if I've had a bad night, I have never expected him to do night duty. it seems the same for money. A sensibility has to be adhered to. It is not fair to expect someone to do everything and be ataker. Both have to contribute something in some way and be respectful of the other's position.
I hope you manage to sort out your predicament.
