There wasn't any cash the other way either. No ATM, no cash-back on purchases. Debit card only, and limited checks for exceptions. No CASH. Any cash comes from her income, otherwise all spending is visible.

W has no access to cash, she puts everything on CC which I have always paid. For 13 years this wasn't a problem, or at least, she never mentioned it. If she ever asked for cash, I gave it to her.
I want to add that in a healthy M, all this money stuff should be done differently than we did it. It just sort of worked out that way when she stopped working and didn't seem to be an issue at the time. It makes her feel like a child to have to come and ask me for cash. Just one of the issues I was blind to, and that she didn't vocalize.
