Financial control or mutual responsibility?

A woman who left her full-time job to take care of their children and lowered her income by half, is being asked by her husband to get her own account for her expensive Jiu-jitsu tournaments. The husband, who runs a successful eBay store, has a separate account with no access to his wife and he also takes extra money from his paycheck each week and deposits it into that account. The wife manages their finances, budgets, and pays all the bills, but her husband wants her to have her own account so that she can pay for her expensive hobby. This sudden demand has come as a surprise to the wife and has started a big fight. The couple has mutual accounts, but the husband spends his money on whatever he wants, without any accountability. The wife, on the other hand, has to rely on her husband financially for her hobby. Is the husband controlling or is he right in asking his wife to be financially independent? Read on to find out what the people have to say.
