FINANCIAL ABUSE... define please...?

What do you call a partner/better-half who makes you pay for almost everything because you have money, or...finds an excuse at the last minute (ex. anger, can't afford it, etc.) to not chip in or pay for something, or will make you wait many weeks or months before he pays or chips in? Besides a "bip-bip", and a control freak, is that some kind of financial abuse? Or is financial abuse only defined with "takes money away from you", "controls your bank account", "gives you just barely enough", etc.

Not in that situation anymore, but just wondering if that is what is was...
veritas: you don't understand. So I'll explain more, and it will also be for others who will be answering.

I was married to the guy. I make more money than him, but he felt justified to use that as an excuse that I should pay for most of everything, including bills, dates, repairs around the house, and even though he would sometimes originally say "we'll split the cost or something" he would end up getting upset at something later, and would use that as an excuse to change his mind and let me pay the big bill that we were supposed to split or something.

So, veritas, no, don't say "shame on you"!
we had many other issues, but yeah, that was one of them.
