[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. she doesn't want combined finances because she doesn't want to share her income.
2. I bought the house before we got married and I have a significant amount of equity in it. I don't see why I should "put her name on the house" if she isn't going to help pay the mortgage or repairs. If I die she will get the house but if she divorces me then I don't plan on giving her half of everything I put into the house prior to marriage. This is me talking bluntly I'm not this blunt about it otherwise. Its a premarital asset. [/quote]

While I understand you feel that the house is yours. If you both are living in it you both should be contributing. It's a huge red flag for both of you. In a marriage it should not be my money and his money. She should not have her income in only her account either.

By the way you don't get to decide what she get's in the divorce unless there was a prenup. Judge decides. Given you have gone into the marriage with those thoughts, good luck.[/quote]

Disagree. A married couple can determine however they want how to allocate their money. There is no one correct way. My husband and I keep separate accounts worth 7 figures each from money we earned separately. Houses are joint though since bought after marriage. Husband owned another home before I met him and we lived there 6 years before he sold it. I had no desire to be added as an owner to that home as I did not buy it or ever felt entitled to it. 
We are beneficiaries on each other accounts. Always worked great for us. Happily married now 25 yrs. [/quote]
