Who takes care of the finances

Ok...Just to give you alittle history..A few months ago, I noticed how stressed my faince was every time it was time to pay bills. It wasn't that we didn't have the money in the account. It was that he would forget the passwords every month to the accounts that we pay online, then he would call the companies, and complain about their system. I told him I thought it would take some stress off of his shoulders if I handled the bills. He thought that was the stupidest idea ever! So I continued to watch in amusement...every time it was bill day..keeping it to myself of course:) A month ago..out of nowhere he came home and said "I think you should take care of the bills so you can get an idea of how much extra money we have". I couldn't believe he turned it around on me like that..he was actually implying that I spend too much money! I didn't say anything about it as I knew he was just trying to justify his decision...lol. I went ahead and let him have that. After only a month of me taking on the responsibility of the bills...we ahve so much more extra money...I moved some of the payments around...that's pretty much it..oh..and we don't have the late fees every month..lol. (When he couldn't get to the online accounts to pay the bills...they would charge a late fee:) He told me today that I was doing a great job...I have to control myself...I didn't want to giggle in his face. He hates it when I'm right and will do anything to prove me wrong...so I know this was a hard one for him. I was just wondering if other women, or men..have gone through this with their significant other..and how did they handle it. Not only with bills...any situations. Please share your stories:) Mine didn't take it very well..haha!
