Now a day modern era, many actually did said that, never fully trust someone even your own spouse. Which have some kind of logic especially in long run, some will understand. If u dont trust her to handle money, then u have to talk to her, be honest abt it. But of cos she will not be happy to hear that. Your situation is very very hard to tell. U may look calculative to her but with good intention at some point like buying house stuff and control her from wasting money. I understand ur type. If once ur wife cant handle money and keep spend for shopping, so who else can handle her if not u.
I think she type of lady dont wanna kalah with others, especially to her friends/kolik that she said their husband give them money. Dont wanna kalah attitude also one issue, wanna mirror those classy friends outside is not good also. Tell her she need to be moderate. Marriage happiness is not all about money, if money make her happy means she marry u just want your money. Money cant buy happiness from girl who really sincerely love u. But money can buy happiness from girl who only want ur money and not sincerely loving u.

Just discuss more with her. She need to respect u as husband and as a leader in the family. I not saying ur wife not a good wife, but if money is big issue for her instead of love n care toward family, u need to change her at that point. U are man, she need to follow your pattern. U not a asshole that for sure.

Sorry to say, too many of them outside. Even my own relatives got. See her fren buy expensive handbag, she also ask husband buy expensive handbag for her. See her fren buy bmw, she also keep pujuk2 husband to buy bmw, but husband never buy bmw for her lar lulz!

Very true

Couldnt agree more👍👍👍
They need to respect their man.

In other words, women always like to blame men.
