After reading the responses to yesterday's post, and after my wife spent $40 more on Amazon last night without telling me, I moved all of our money out of our joint account and changed the Amazon password. I sent her a short email letting her know what I had done, that I would be managing the finances from now on, and that she could have $50 cash for spending money but that we would discuss all other expenses in advance.

She has responded with a series of ranting emails and the most recent one sounds like she thinks the marriage is over. She says it's my arrogance and condescension that are the real problem, not the money (lol), and that she would have gotten better at budgeting if I had been more patient and understanding (lol!).

Lots of other stuff, like how she didn't cut me off when she was the primary breadwinner and how I blame her for my poor financial choices, etc.

I have ignored the emails other than to reiterate she can come get $50 cash if she needs it.

I seriously don't give a fuck at this point and I will observe her actions more than words. Possible main event tonight. I admit I am scared and sad that it's come to this, but I'm taking back my life no matter what.

Thanks for the forum.
