James in Brum Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 At one time we did not have totally joint finances and paid into an account to cover shared costs. The one of us earning the more money paid more in and the one paid the less paid less in. That worked too. Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 We have a Bill's account and our own spending accounts though she still tries to say I can or can't buy something which grates abit Quote
dynax Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Once our bills are paid and the fridge is full whatever is left is fair game, if either of us wants or needs something and the money is there we just get it, obviously under the current conditions I need and want more 1 Quote

Or! Jenny, the red haired girl on horse back .... the bitch !!!!!!! Sorry lost it there for a bit ..................... Well, that makes my case for keeping some financial separation a bit stronger It never ends well for Lars. Either he convinced them to run off and he will do the same to her. Or she played you as the evil party she needed to be saved from and he will find out at some point. But this kind of structures my view. Everyone knows or has been through a horror story. So it seems too common for me to ever give up certain liberties. Some see this as a way of keeping the exit door clear, trust issues etc. But to me, it accommodates the unexpected which can occur due to an abuse of trust. So there’s no harm in it Edited January 10, 2021 by Fozzie Spacing 1 Quote
