I could see this being a point of contention in a healthy relationship. But I can't see, "furious" in this instance, since money doesn't seem to be in short supply in your family, and since she's earning precisely 0% of the household income.

However, there's this:

ENORMOUS RED FLAG.

1) Unaccounted-for time. HUGE problem here.
2) Double standard = you must account to her for the car purchase, but she'll travel when & where she pleases, without asking if you have plans, would like to join her, or anything. She's treating you with contempt, and you need to wake the fcuk up!
3) Tell me, how often do the kids go with her to "the camp"? Or, is this just "me time" for her? Do any male family friends show up at "the camp"? Do her credit card purchases during trips to "the camp" match up with the geographic area? (I'm sure you pay her credit card, so it'll be easy enough to check those purchases)

She knows it's a bullshit complaint, and she has nothing substantive to bitch about, but this will have to do, because you need to be beaten into submission.

In summary, you're headed for a major fall. You don't want to believe what's going on, and are refusing to see it. You're ignoring the advice to get a lawyer, and the advice to quit fcuking posting here. This one is going to be ugly.
