My husband keeps all our financial information, be it bank accounts, statements, savings, investments, etc., away from me. He has been unemployed for more than three years and keeps telling me we need to economize, which I do.

When I ask him to let me know what our finances are, he tells me, "We're running out of money." He keeps everything a secret, and when I asked, "What if something terrible happens? What shall I do?" he said, "You will be informed." What kind of an attitude is that? He says he doesn't trust me with money because he thinks I'll spend it all.

We sold our house for more than a million dollars and I never saw a penny in my name, let alone a bank account. I don't have a job. I'm a full-time student right now. I'm concerned whether I should get a divorce. Your thoughts, Abby? - IN THE DARK IN NEW JERSEY

DEAR IN THE DARK: It would be interesting to know where the money you and your husband are living on is coming from, and how your education is being financed.

It appears your husband is withholding financial information as a means of controlling you. I do think you should consult a lawyer, not necessarily to discuss a divorce, but to find out once and for all what your rights are as a wife in the state of New Jersey.
