Barrybran IV - Three Years Forward, 30 Years Back

[Barrybran]

My wife is impulsive and I'm more organised. We've had separate accounts the whole time because we never got around to joining them. It's something I've adjusted to through the course of my relationship with my wife and made it work for us, though often at my expense. She was shouldering all of the bills while I wasn't working and now that I am working again I've shouldered more of the bills. On top of that, between my wife GAL, feeling as though she's running short of money and occasionally forgetting about bills I'm just trying to keep things moving by not arguing the point and paying whatever bills I find.

It's one of those "I can't fix it so I should let her figure it out and fix it herself" situations. We won't run out of money but she may find we can't afford a new car when she wants it. At the end of the day, I'm not rocking the boat but I'm also keeping it afloat while we're going through this period.
