[quote=Anonymous]Perhaps because we were both older when we got married, we've always had separate accounts. The only joint account is a joint savings, which we each contribute equally the same each month. All the other bills get pro rated on our net income split (i.e. I contribute to retirement and he does not, so my net is much lower). It just works for us, but neither one is stingy, withholding, or overindulgent. We just both kind of seem to know when it's time for the other to step up for bigger ticket or unexpected costs. Example, we just bought furniture and I'm paying for it. We are also getting a new kitchen floor and my husband is paying for it out of his accounts. Just as others can't fathom not having all joint accounts, I can't imagine any other way that would work for us. But, the big difference in our case, is that both are on the same page as to fairness. It doesn't sound like your husband is. [/quote]
