After marraige there is no money. Seriously,I've been thru marraiges and "arrangments" over many decades,and the only workable way is to each have your own checking accounts. You split the bills equally. You pay for your own car,clothes,hobbies,etc. If you (or your spouse) can't afford something,then you do without,no whining about "sharing". Anything you both use you split the costs. This way,you don't have to explain the new suit,or the new $400 handbag. Or why you spend so much on lunch every week. Putting both salaries into a joint account and only spend if you both agree is the shortest route to hurt feelings at best,and a quick divorce at worst.
Quoting: grassyknoll This is not a real marriage,but in this world I understand you. yeah, it is depressing to hear about "marriages" like this, that's more like roommates. Marriage is not 50%/50%, its 100%/100%. Either partner puts in less than that, and the marriage is toast. Like I said earlier, nobody ever said marriage was easy. Too many people rush into it without being fully prepared and fully determining whether they truly trust and want their partner to become their "other half." People these days often seem to not understand what that simple phrase actually means.
