Can a relationahip survive money issues?
Eg.Partner A being a SAHP after losing their job in a bad way leaving trauma. Partner A now looks after the coupls 4 year old audhd child.
Partner B works full time from 6-2. Up until recently it was 5:30-2:30. Previously it was 6-3. So roughly the same hours. Partner B also travelled for work and spent roughly 5 of the last 12 months away working.
Partner B earns 6 figures.
Partner B gets stressed about money and snaps every now and again. It's random stuff too; Partner A picked up some latte sachets on sale, B snapped. Kettle gets broken, B snapped. Partner A needs to go see rectal specialist. B snaps.
Situation currently sucks and both need help.

If you’re not both on the same page regarding money, your relationship will not survive, point blank period.
Also, partner B sounds like they have massive anger and rage issues and if they’re regularly having these outbursts and breaking stuff, that is classed as emotional and physical abuse.

Partner B is verbally abusive as well? Right. Partner B sounds like they need a lot of help and should start by ending the relationship with Partner A because it has turned abusive and once abuse has entered the chat, the relationship is dead. No amount of couples therapy will save it.
From what you described of Partner A snapping back - this is known as reactive abuse. Reactive abuse describes situations where a person who has endured sustained abusive behaviour reacts aggressively towards their abuser. This behaviour is self-defence and should not be equated to abusive behaviour.
I think the money/job situation is a red herring here. You two have far bigger problems than that.
