Tbone,
It is not so much as that I consider it "running" money, I really don't, but more confused about her wanting me to keep an account when its very existance use to recently bother her. Until this year, we openly share all income between us. She also felt I had gain power of control over her finances by having money she felt entitled to in an account she could not access and she resented it. Now instead of resenting it, she asking to put me in a position of control. I don't if this is wise. I wonder about the possibility of future resentment over this control, so should I avoid this completely?

'til later,
KAW
