Well, I’m not sure where anyone gets off telling me that DH and I are not a couple because we keep our own finances. That was a pretty stupid comment, and you are totally wrong. I guess if someone chooses to live differently than you in a way that doesn’t suit your narrow-minded definitions they are not a “couple”. The number one thing MOST couples fight over is money – that is not an issue for us at all. As I said, we are both extremely happy in our relationship which is more than I can say for lots of the other couples I know. It works for us, and that is what matters. I don’t frankly care what you think of it, but I did find your comment extremely rude.

I regret my post Debbie, after re reading it, it seems harsh and judgemental. It's not exactly what I meant to express. I can concede that two people can live together, in some degree, with different financial goals and spending habits.
When it comes to my situation, because I have changed my views on money a great deal, my wife and I are completely different when it comes to money. Trying to apply your method of management would be hard on our finances, but doesn't mean it is to yours.
Because so many things in a household have to be shared and agreed on, leaves me wondering how you tackle this problem.
But again I apologize, I was wrong.
