Quote: We got into in some yesterday about money. We keep our checking accounts separate-he pays the house payment, I pay the utilities. He pays for when we eat out most of the time, and I pay for groceries. I have a lot of dr. bills and school bills and credit cards that I have yet to pay off. He has credit cards to pay off.
Well at least my H and me aren't the only ones with this kind of financial arrangement! This was one my number one problem and lead to my unhappiness in our M. It always made me feel like we were two married people living like single people.
I'm on your side with the putting your name on the account. Even though things balanced out between H and me, well not really, it would have made me feel more connected as a couple of we jointly agreed on purchases, etc.
