[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a DW here.  We have mostly joint accounts, we have a couple single accounts that lingered from before we were married.  My DH rarely looks at the accounts. I pay all the bills and try to save as much as possible.  We don't usually worry about who is spending what.  If I was keeping track (okay, I really am) he spends a whole lot more than me, just because his hobbies are more expensive than mine.  As long as we have plenty of money in the account, I don't care.   He primarily uses his Discover card, but not everyone takes that, so he just tells me if he uses the other one, just so I know to pay it.

In full disclosure, I do have some money socked away in case I need to make a Julia Roberts Sleeping with the Enemy escape in the middle of the night.  Which if that were the case I am not worried about divorce proceedings, and just worried about getting out.  Which of course probably won't happen, but you never know.  [/quote]

Seriously, it enters your thoughts that there is a potential scenario under which things might get so bad with your husband that you might have to fake your death to get away?  If that is accurate then you have much bigger problems than joint accounts.
