Our home, cars, and bank accounts are all in my name only. Of course his paychecks are on direct deposit into my account. I owned my home before we were married and Robert was fresh out of college when we became engaged. Because of this Robert doesn't even have credit established as he found out when I told him he could get himself a car. He was ready to sign the papers when he was told that due to the way our finances are set up I would have to co-sign the loan in order for him to be approved. He was so humiliated when I walked into the dealership and sent him out to my car to wait while I handled the details. The female car sales person and I sat down to finish the deal. She was so impressed with the control that I have over my husband that she gave me an extra two hundred off on the car and I signed for the loan. I had the car placed in my name. Robert still can't buy anything without my permission.
