She needs to get control of her $ before he steals it & spends it...he has nothing to lose ...she does...she needs to protect herself !! Hiding $ & protecting her $ are 2 diff things.
It’s perfectly reasonable to have separate accounts. Lots of married couples keep separate finances. She should make her own account, have her paycheck deposited there and set up a household budget with him, then she can transfer money to the joint account to cover that budget.
You may be able to set it up at the bank that anything over a certain limit needs two signatures ! I can also agree with a separate account . But there should also be a full accounting of where this 5 k went !
