[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You say talking money has always been a sensitive topic with him.  Why?  If everything he is doing is on the up and up and benefits the partnership, why can't he discuss this with you and make the necessary changes to make you comfortable?  Something is not right here. I would get to the bottom of this before it is too late.  Many people are blind sided by affairs and divorces.  If this happens to you, you are in a really bad position.  To me, someone who won't compromise on money during the marriage, will have no problem sc**ing you big time in a divorce.[/quote]

I said it's historically been a sensitive topic.  It's gotten better.  I can't say with certainty why, but like I said, my best guess is his desire for some autonomy/control, and inertia and not wanting to change how he's always done things.  I also think he didn't want to co-mingle assets because maybe he was embarrassed about little financial acuity he had or how much debt he had (school loans), or maybe he just didn't want to add that complexity.  Affair is highly unlikely.  Not saying it's improbable, but unlikely.

And we have compromised.  We have had yearly sit downs with a full accounting of all our assets.  Honestly, we are just a bit busy and disorganized and not on top of things as we should be, and are not really clear about the best way to set things up for us. [/quote]
