Does everyone share their finances with their spouses, as in you have joint banking, savings, retirement, etc. accounts? I have my own accounts but my husband thinks is weird that we haven't combined our finances and really wants to do so but I'm really not comfortable with doing this.

I would express that you aren’t comfortable with that. Why not a joint account for shared expenses (rent/mortgage, utilities, groceries, etc.) while maintaining your own separate accounts?

Financially especially, I think to each their own. Figure it out together and what works for the both of you. We have a joint account and then we have separate accounts as well. I would consider how you are dealing with expenses and then what works best with that too.

I can understand that. And I can understand people being uncomfortable over it, but, hey, everyone's different. I had a problem sharing expenses with a partner years ago and I've always thought I'd never want to deal with that again, tbh.

Money is one of top 3 reasons people divorce, so I try to keep it as separate from a relationship as possible. Meaning that we don't have one account, so that we don't fight on who spent more vs who made more and only share shared experiences. The rest is our private business and there is no judgment but only advice one spendings if asked

Dads with older children: while raising your children, did your children prefer their moms over you? I know some will prefer dads over moms, but I assume majority of children out there will prefer their moms over dads… I have one child and it kinda hurts to see my child always preferring the mom over me. I know I shouldn’t feel this way, but I just do. How did you cope with such issue raising your children?
