Okay mommie am good am not in relationship at the moment.. but was in a relationship for 6 years and I would never put my self in the hot spot ever again
We have a joint account for bills and our own personal accounts for whatever. We are a family unit, but we are still individual people with separate tastes, likes, etc. Plus, how do you buy something as a surprise for the other if you share an account??
To each their own. DH and I have our own accounts but also have an allotment that goes to a joint account and we pay all our bills with it. Works for us.
