Do you tell your spouse exactly how much you're earning? My wife knows the bills are taken care of, and our household budget. I feel like that's enough for her. I handle the finances.

Not being transparent with your spouse about your income and finances is crazy. What is this the 1950s?

“I feel like that’s enough for her” made me throw up a little 🤮 You realize your money is her money right? Why does she not have full access? This sounds like a problematic marriage

"I handle the finances" is "controlling husband" coded also 🫠

I wonder what she’s doing when she’s not at home and whether that’s too much for you to know.

Her own version, she probable goes
“My husband knows he’s emotionally taken care of, I feel like that’s enough for him”.

Not exact down to the penny, but yes, we both know how much each other makes.

I think your intent to ensure her peace of mind is intended to be a kind gesture but you do not realize the huge blind spot you are creating for her. Give it a google and you’ll quickly find ample reasons to be in lock step with your spouse regarding finances, for their own safety and security. If she is widowed, she has to navigate your finances and past financial decisions without you, while grieving and fending off anyone coming for your assets. Please, talk to your spouse openly, honestly and often about your finances.

Yes, our paychecks go into the same account and all expenses come out of that account (for the household and personal things). When we first got married we had separate accounts and would try to figure out who pays for what, how much of rent each person covers, etc. but it led to a lot of fights. Combined it is easier.

Yes of course. All one pot.

She has access and visibility to all accounts, and I wouldn't want to be married to someone who wasn't on the same page financially.

Wow. This is insane. I can’t believe people treat their spouses like this. Of course my spouse knows how much I make.

This is a disgusting attitude to have with your partner, and in some cases, could be considered financially abusive. I watched my mother go through something similar, and I can’t imagine ever treating my spouse this way.

Take a big step back and get a professional to help you work through why you feel the need to lord this power over her. She’s not a child, and she deserves to know the state of things. If something ever happened to you, she’d have to handle them anyway.

I get a sense that you don’t trust what your wife would do with the increased income.

This could be warranted or not. If you are married to someone who is a major spender, I can see the need for this to still make retirement.
