I can tell you I have had the same fears you are both expressing.My recommendation is to get your finances separated from your spouse if you can. When my wife left, I struggled for a bit. I set up a new account with a bank that has great ebanking. I then made a simple spread sheet in excel which had the expected bills to be paid per check. I had a sheet for each check so I did not overwhelm myself. I then list what has been spent and when it has cleared with a rolling balance. It has kept me from being overwhelmed by the unknown. I know exactly what I have to spend and make good decisions. My wife did not do this or and ran unknown on her expenses and way over spent. She has now had a breakdown and has a lot of trouble to resolve.
