do you go dutch between couples friends or family members? to spite bills with your spouse sounds strange to many but it si actually gaining popularity among young couples in china are you a go dutch owerson when it comes to relationships? do you spite bills between friends? who should take more responsibility for carig about their child or parents if everything is measured by money? so i do not think it practicable to spite bills with spouse who have closely relationship with each other on the contrary to split bills with friends is feasible of course it is not absolutlely for many people it is acceptable to apy the bills by turns with friend in most condition it is not necessary to make the cordeline to clear just as the saying says no fish can suvieve if water is too clean how do you spend the money within your family? to split with your spouse sounds stange to many but it is actually gaining popularity among young couples inc hina are you a godutch person when it comes to relationships? do you spite bills between friends? and how do you spend the money with your family? howeer it is difficult to operate in reality for example if wife and husband go out fora meal and then they pay the half responspectly which may be not strange but in in washing for the other how will they count it accordingly how will they separate from this or that which cna not be measured by money

We have a good formula here,im the money handler and I dish out whats to be spent etc lol...but if we go for a meal or a drink it just comes from `our` money..we dont have such a thing as my money or her money...but I know a lot of people who do have independant bank accounts though they are married and it works well for they each pay half of the bills and go dutch when they are out and for them it works well...but my way works well for me.

I normally go dutch or every other time I pay with my girlfriends, but with most of my male friends, they pay. Even if I offer, most of them are insulted and would never let me pay. Most of them know I'm a single mom and all of them make more than me, so I don't mind. The only time it ever bothers me is if they think paying is purchasing a little something more than what they got. I have not had that happen in quite a while, as the majority of my friends tend to know that I'm not the kind of person who would be swayed by such a trivial effort. People who try to use money for things like that aren't good company for me.
