if you are using it for family necessities, how come he doesn't realize food, diapers, etc., need to be bought.
at any rate, maybe you two should sit down and work out a budget for the family. then he will realize that you need a certain amount of dollars each week for those items.
instead of asking, tell him that you will be taking X amount of dollars out of the bank to do your errands.
i would advise to always ask if you are taking cash out of his wallet, because that happened to me once. my spouse took most of my cash, which is ok, except i only realized it at the checkout while buying groceries. i didn't have any cards or checkbook with me, and it left me in a situation, which i had to go home, get the checkbook, go back to the store, etc.
many couples keep their money separate, but i don't agree with that. all purchases, except the common ones, (groceries, diapers, gas), should be discussed.
is it considered community property?
