Current Events > Yet another benefit of not having a S/O

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not having to share money or a banking account. I keep seeing things on the Internet where couples, both married or just dating, talking about dumb shit like the bread winner should pay more of the bills or they should get a joint account but one of the couple isn't down for it so it strains the relationship. Sounds like drama that I would not want to deal with.

But if I was to had a s/o who I trust and commit to, I wouldn't mind us having a joint account and paying more bills if in fact I was the bread winner but that's just me talking looking from the outside.

Plus you dont have to do the what do you want to do for dinner dance every fucking day

It really does make sense to just merge finances once you're married.

Agreed but I have spoken to couples who believes in having separate accounts. They have agreed bills each take care of like regular roommates. Even when married they think spendings should be private.

you don't -have- to share money or a bank account, and if anything relationships that don't probably fare better

The best thing for long term partners is to have joint accounts to use for most things, but to each have a personal account for their own fun money.
