Husband in control of finances

I will definitely talk to my husband about letting me have some freedom when it comes to spending ,be it buying some for myself or kids. I don’t think I can ask him about stuff like his savings, bank account etc, wont feel comfortable ,( just not me). A question for the married ones, do you ever feel like you are spending someone else’s money any time you go shopping with your husband ? I do because of the way my husband behaves and reacts whenever we go out

When I first got married, I totally felt weird spending “someone else’s” money, but over time my husband won me over with his attitude. In the begining, I would actually try to pay for my “wants” with my own money. Like when we went shopping, I would whip out my credit card and insist on paying to the point that my husband got angry (being a man, he couldn’t stand the thought of his wife paying for anything lol). Eve my mom thought I was crazy for hy “his money”, “my money” mentality.
But after 5 years of marriage, you should be comfortable enough with your husband to ask about finances. After all, you guys are together and therefore his money is your money (though your money is still yours )
