I'd be apprehensive about it, and I wouldn't budge.
I earn my money. I make my decisions. However, it's a mutual respect relationship and we should talk about and agree with some things that impact the family. That's fair.

I’ve never experienced that personally, so I can’t speak from direct experience. But I imagine clear communication and setting boundaries would be important in such situations.
I have had this in my life.
I think 'micromanagement' is a very nice term for 'toxicity'.
There is only one way - please show the door. Dont stay in a relationship where there is no freedom, dignity and self fulfillment.

The real name for his is control. Avoid relationships that make you unable to be expressive and boxes you in. However you must stay cool because it could help you in a way to overcome unforseen circumstances if you're living a carefree life.
If you are micro managing your partner, or if you are even trying to micro manage, I do not think this relationship will last. Even if it appears to be working, there is a lot of dissatisfaction in the partner who is being micro managed. The bubble will brust someday.
If that ever happens to me I’d cope by calmly discussing how their micromanaging makes me feel and setting clear boundaries. Encouraging trust and explaining my need for independence helps. Finding compromises and checking in regularly can ease control without harming the relationship.
