You have obviously not been married but relying on romantic idealism as your pillar of truth. I'm sorry to bring you down to earth but a married couple sharing EVERYTHING together in trust and faith seldom happen in the real world.
Sharing finances is fine if both parties have the same attitude, spending habits, plans and opinion with respect to money. Otherwise joint finances can be a disaster in a marriage.
Obviously not been married?
Would i dare write such if i have not experience the marriage journey? Your speed and lack of judgement makes you look foolish.
Of course, pure idealism does not happen 100%. However, If you start with an idealism of division, there is every possibility of separation.
If you start with an idealism of trust and faith in each other, you may have a better possibility of the journey.
Who says that both has to have the same EVERYTHING?
This shows your lack of understanding of marriage teamwork. Does a team think exacty the same as individuals?
No. Neither does a husband and a wife. But that does not stop this team to work to agreed goals. Do you understand why the above situation by the OP is happenning?
It's because they have not shared in the goals of the family finances!
