Sorry sweetie, there is no bond closer than a husband and wife. If you aren't married, you wouldn't understand. You still have no right to look at his receipts or bills UNLESS he's spending YOUR money. Period.

Then give him the money. Perhaps he would let you look at the joint bills - but I don't blame him for being upset at your behavior.

I agree with eyes wide open. No offense but you don't live there, you had no right to look through his bills, I would have been angry too. I don't think it is obvious he is hiding something, just that he likes his privacy.

I'm one of those people that Tellulah warned you about. I don't think you had a right to go through the bills. He doesn't live with you, his bills are his business. By his reaction he must feel the same way. People need privacy whether they are in a relationship or not. Wanting this privacy does not indicate they are hiding something at all. It is just a matter of personal space.

Hi,
Whatever it is you have the right to know the truth. Its obvious he is hiding something, it could be that he has got in debt or something like that.
If you live together and he is away a lot, how come these bills did not go to your house?. Could he be getting them delivered to his parents or something?.
I would come right out and ask him. I know people on this site say you shouldnt go through your partners Email's Text's or bills. But lets face it if you have nothing to hide whats the problem?. Its only Guilty people that hide stuff.
Tell him you are upset and want to know why he reacted that way!!!
Good Luck XX
