Maybe you can suggest an alternative arrangement with your husband: set up a joint savings account and each commit to contributing a fixed sum each month into it to build up your savings which both of you can view and monitor. This joint acct can be used for rainy days/family holidays. But each have a separate account which your salary gets credited into, and you each manage your own expenses. So long as each contributes an agreed fixed sum into the savings acct every month, what you spend on privately shouldn't matter. Consider that :)
My husband and I have had this arrangement since we started planning for marriage. I'll transfer whatever bonuses too into this joint savings besides a fixed sum each month but of course if he wants to spend on big ticket items like tv etc, we have to discuss and agree on it together first.
