As others have stated, a good number of couples do it. I'm not saying that I'm not open to trying it out in the future, but I just don't want to at this time.

Your argument in favor of joint accounts comes off as sounding like you're saying "it's the right way" -- much like saying, for example, that people shouldn't cohabit if they're not married or get married if they don't plan on having kids.

Different things work for different people based on their tastes, lifestyles, etc.

Go ask a professional.

Then tell the countless other couples who do it that they all need professional help.

And PS what you are doing doesn't seem to be working for you, sooooo...

It does not sound like you respect your wife. It seems like a sad way to be married never mind to bring a child into.

If they came here asking, I would. When my friend tells me about their money woes, I do. This thread is about you.

I just looked at your post writing history. You have written so many posts about this topic (and your bad sex life and wanting a masters degree). You don't have to keep asking...just go read people's previous replies.

For your info, the sex life has gotten a lot better. Things are great in that department now.

Wasn't asking. Not interested.
