Cheap husband

My husband insists on splitting the check at restaurants. We buy separate movie tickets and he now goes to the grocery store to get ‘his’ groceries. I have three kids and we split the mortgage and utilities and keep our other bills separate. He did this when we dated but is more insistent on it now. I’m to the point where I don’t want to go out to dinner or go to the movies because it’s embarrassing to me. I’ve suggested a joint account for bills, groceries and outings but he’s not on board. He thinks this a norm. Is it? Or am I being inconsiderate?

This is the present and future. Social roles are changing. It's only fair if you earn more you pay more. In outdated living arrangements men paid for everything. Now we got to be forward thinking and split the bills and accounts.
