[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problems started when you guys didn't contribute to the household jointly.  I'm Asian-American (not Chinese though) and my DH and I share all bank accounts and everything comes out of those shared accounts.  Did you guys not talk about this before you were married?  How are expenses split?[/quote]

She said that she didn't want a joint account after we got married. 
I pay all the expenses. She says its the mans job to pay expenses.[/quote]

I'm a woman and think this is total BS. I'd tell her you aren't prepared to make the sort of arrangements she wants, note that she has her entire salary to do with what she wants and see what happens.  If she has issues with you having the house only in your name I would seek to make that more equitable, whether it's by adding her name to the title and she shares the mortgage, etc., buying a new place jointly (w/o selling yours if you can afford it), or helping her with a down payment on a place of her own (which would be extremely generous on your part). Any of those actions are a huge good faith effort on your part to diminish any perceived inequality on the issue of property ownership.[/quote]
