I have a really greedy husband and he doesn't give me any money at all and above all tell me all the time to give money for the appartment and for the food. In such relationships I don't feel like I am a real woman. I thought that the husband needs to take care about his family and wife. Maybe I am too asking? What do you think?

Some men use money as a means of control. It's his way of knowing where you are and what you're doing at all times. After all, you can hardly do anything without some money, right? Maybe he has a drinking or a gambling problem, or some other form of addiction. Whatever the problem is, y'all need to sit down and figure it out; if necessary, get the help of a professional marriage counselor. Money problems is one of the prime reasons a marriage will break up.
Blessed Be

The character of a person can't be changed easily.You should know him totally when you married him.Now what you can do is only accept all of his shortcomings.Maybe you can have a talk with him and tell him what you really want.Don't be mad singlely:)

I think you better figure things out with your husband. His the head of the family and he is responsibe for the financial matters and you should be in charge at home and look after the kids. Is there a problem with work? Some vices maybe?

yes, thank you for your advise, but I just don't know how to make him be not greedy at all, he just don't want to spend any money on me and this makes me really bad, as I am nice looking girl and I want to live a good life. I am not the one who will spend all the money, but I don't want to feel preasure all the time. He has a normal job in a bank, so he has money.
