Money in your Relationship

Welcome to mylot, friend! Fortunatly we never had money problems with my husband in the almost 40 years of our marriage. I must confess though that I did hid (if it can be said that way) money from him. At the beggining of each year, we would figure out how much money we would need for the house and I had the management of that and of the money I earned from my job. He built houses and sometimes he had a lot of money, and sometimes he had little. It was difficult to go on vacations because when there was no work he had time but not money and when he had work he had the money but no time. So that I learned to save and when he was free form work, I´d "invite" him somewhere.

We have had our share of disagreements about money. I think nowadays most couples have. Especially when finances are tight and it's hard to pay for everything. But we get through them. We really have no chose but to work through it if we both want to be happy. I think it will be a long time before we feel that we are were we want to be financially. So until then we have to compromise on what we want to do with our money.

Money was never an issue in my relationship. Infact, he often said that I was very good about money and we always agreed on how to handle the bills. It was other things we had issue with. Money and such things should be discussed before people get into any relationship. If not there will be issues.

In fact I do not know, how much money my husband owned, how much my husband's income, and for what the money is used. I also never ask for money, to my husband. I'm just waiting for my husband, gave money to me.

Hi! Although I have not experienced this issue, I have observed that money does really matter in a relationship especially if your have children. But I think if you are saving money you don't have to tell him'her about it as long as it does not block your budget at home. But if you are both single , no problem Bu with hiding money fro your bf/gf. But on your situation, she is wrong because if she is hiding money and she can't even buy her toiletries than something is wrong .Maybe shes using it in a wrong way. I have an experience with this, my boyfriend was not dating with me for a month and I was a bit dismayed and later on I found out he was saving money to buy me something .Although I told him it does not need to be expensive but he still wants to do it. You just have to find out the reason behind it for you to know what should be done.

me and my husband we also have all the money together and we're administraiting them together, there is not problem with spending and sharing them :) but in my opinion if someone is hiding money it's bad because it's not honest with the other person...

We don't fight over money. Rather than argue, we make it a point to save so that when we have small emergencies we have something to spend. Also, I have no idea how much his pay is, same with me. We both have our own money and if we need to buy something it is not an issue. Our main goal is to be able to save money for our retirement and we have invested on some stocks and we are planning on putting up a business. So rather than focusing on the amount that we have to spend like most couples, we focus more on the amount we can set aside.

My husband and I don't really have arguments with regards to money. Sure, we will have some disagreements, but we manage to discuss them calmly, and not argue about it. It's not the sort of thing that we really argue about. We do agree about things that have to do with money.

I never had any problem with ex when it comes to money matters. He always gave me money and I keep my money with me. He never questioned me what do I am gonna buy, as long as there is food for our kids and I am spending it wisely.

hello, My boyfriend and I never argue in money issue. It is alright for us if we dont have money in our pocket. And you know what? I really have a money and I did not even tell it to my boyfriend right now because I am saving it for some emergency cause. I dont really hide but I just want to save. And besides I am a girl I should not put money all the time. I should keep for myself.

I have not experienced it to my past relationship. The best thing you do is to confront her. Ask her why is she hiding the money. keep your emotions at ground level and don't try to build an argument. Just plainly ask her to explain about the money and your present issue. It is better to talk things over so that on the next day you would not be fighting on the same issue again. Don't let money destroy what you had built on your relationship. Let love and let God be in charge of you both.
