Hey AFWAW,

Good to hear from you.

Sorry that things aren't how you would want them to be.

Sounds very familiar.

My wife was exactly the same. She wanted me to caress her head and shoulders for hours and hours and hours, because it was "the only thing that gave her comfort".

Let her be pissed. She will get used to the idea that finances are separate and if she wants to be trusted with your money she'll have to earn it.

All of the above is a wind-up!!! She sounds so much like my wife. Mine will try anything to get me to feel guilty, confused, feeling like I'm to blame. I'm sure she does this because a person in this state is easier to control. I don't know if yours is the same and I hope she isn't.

Good!

You are absolutely right to question this. Her actions and the words she uses to justify her actions will tell you what you need to know.

Read these two of my threads from 2008.
