Im sensing sarcasm? Do people actually ask this?

Are you a man or woman?

Probably

I've been with mine for over a year and I still don't know what they make. I have an idea based on their job but they make enough to support a nice lifestyle and we've talked about our philosophy of spend/save so it doesn't really matter what the number is until we are combining finances.

My Dad is 84 and my Mum was 2 years younger. She died in January. He has no idea what her bank accounts held / hold and she had no idea what he had or earned apparently. They married in 1966.

I seriously think they were odd in this way.

However I would never ask while dating.

I wouldn’t share my salary with someone until we talking about moving in or getting engaged. There are better conversations to have about money sooner such as spending vs saving, etc

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
