•Changing last names (hyphenating at most)
•Having children •Combining finances I'm fine with keeping last name. Children is a big thing for me tho. Not combining finances is... understandable. How would you feel? --- ---- ----- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Points 1 and 3 are no big deal. Point 2 is a problem. if it's something you really want, how do you see this relationship in 10-15 years?

My fiance is changing her last name to mine, though I didn't care about whether she did or not.
We already decided we don't want children, they are a drain on our wallet and we like money. We have a combined account with the rule that whatever you put in goes towards house improvements/acquirements or vacation money. No limitation on how much goes in or out, nor do we keep track of who deposits how much into it. We also have a combined billing account. We each put in 50% of all of our bills with that one. The remaining money goes into our own separate accounts with the rule being, she can't bitch at me when I buy things she considers useless (video games, etc..) and vise versa for her. --- Smash DS Code: 4554-0120-5368 SB4 Name: Roz RIP: Orlando of the Axe Karma: 1642 --he delivered! ...

tbh i would break up with my gf if she didnt want to have children. it's a huge dealbreaker and if you got married you'd have to compromise on what is probably the largest, most important aspect of your future.
finances one scares me too because it's just going to lead to fights over money and you won't feel like a team, it'll be easier to hide irresponsible spending etc. this is probably another dealbreaker for me, or at the very least a major red flag. don't care about the last name one. my wife took my last name but i said i was cool with it either way --- A Green Butter Alt(TM) http://i.imgur.com/LhwwG.gif ...

Those conditions aren't dealbreakers for me. I'd even prefer to keep some of our finances separate, but am not against pooling our money for bills and expenses.
I can see how having no kids can be a dealbreaker, though. It's ok if she doesn't want kids, but your relationship won't work in the end if you do absolutely want them. --- Many Bothans died to bring you this post. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The kid thing IS a dealbreaker if you want them and she doesn't.
It's one of the most important decisions you will make your entire life and having a partner that wants the opposite is a terrible idea. --- Smash DS Code: 4554-0120-5368 SB4 Name: Roz RIP: Orlando of the Axe Karma: 1642 --he delivered! ... Copied to Clipboard!

1 and 2 are both deal breakers.
I'm fine with not combining finances. However, we should have at least a "bank" we can put our money in and we can take out however much we want as long as it is paid back. Rules on whether there should be interest or not can be discussed, but we should have something combined, so we aren't digging into our personal pockets. --- Am I going too hard? ...

True, and id say funny story: I didnt want kids and i think my wife looked at me like "This IS a deal breaker but everything else checks out....Ive got an idea!"
Eventually she "ends up" pregnant and Im immediately like "My baby needs her father!" Risky move but it worked out for my wife. --- "God didn't create humans, no, it's humans who created God." Dr. Londes, Cowboy Bebop: "Brain Scratch" (#1.23) (1999) ... Copied to Clipboard!
