My Husband Stops Supporting the Home Whenever I Earn Money

Whenever my husband knows I have money coming in, such as ₦5,000 or ₦10,000, he stops contributing to the household. We have three children, and even when I ask for as little as ₦1,000, he says he has nothing. But when my goods are finished, he makes sure we eat because he loves food. This pattern has continued for over 15 years of marriage. Even the money I earned through N-Power between 2016 and 2020 was spent on feeding the family. Should I keep watching this happen, or how can I protect my savings and get him to contribute fairly to our home?
