I am currently being dark but there is communication coming from the W regarding finances.
Up until the BD everything was in joint names but since then we've both got separate current and savings accounts into which our joint savings were split evenly.
We both resigned from our jobs (for different reasons) such that our incomes both cease around the end of August and she has been steadily reducing our outgoings so that income we have from investments will pay the standard monthly commitments out of the joint account but lifestyle including food to come out of our now personal stashes.
Should I just play along with the direction she is heading or become more controlling over the money coming in? Like should I transfer my remaining salary amounts into my personal account the minute it arrives (I could do the same with the investment income too, if I choose to) and say that she has to tell me how much I need to transfer into the joint account to cover the bills? It all seems a bit petty but I feel like she is calling the shots and I have to jump, but maybe I am being overly sensitive and should simply leave her to do the donkey work (and not making it any more challenging) in the joint account area and simply focus on my own pot?
