Good for you Gwen. I can see how it can be a huge step emotionally. But eventually, it also can be very liberating.
I opened my own bank accounts and separate credit card, even though I still have joint once with H. They are there for convenience purposes. All I can say is that having my own accounts and credit cards make me feel more in control of my life.
