My wife promised my sons new airsoft guns at the end of the school year. She didn't ask for my input on that decision. When the end of the school year arrived she told my sons to get me to buy the the airsoft guns. I did and I paid out of the joint account.
She hit the roof when she found out that I'd paid from the joint account. She said that money was to pay for charges on our joint credit card. (I'm sure she charged a lot of her moving expenses to that card.) I told her I'd pay for anything I'd bought with that card, all she had to do was bring me the itemized bill. She never brought me the itemized bill -- not a surprise.
