The joys of being a filthy, rich doctor. Don’t have to stress about finances.

More marriages are destroyed by having a joint account where one blows it all

Is this based on anything?

SUAVO

Yes, the majority of divorced people had a joint account together

oh, I thought you were talking about percentages

what your talking about is one paying no attention to the finances even though

It takes a lot to financially destroy like that, that happens when one thinks

2 family members divorced and a friend... all connected to financial secrets

No accusations of porn? That can't be right.

financial secrets are usually tied to porn or adultery

We have joint accounts at 2 different credit unions. I primarily use one, she primarily uses the other,

Do you really think it is that big of a deal? I asked my wife for her Facebook password

She won't be your facebook friend?

I mean, I guess I could push it. I just don’t want to push it too far. She already caved on some things I asked her to

Thats not just not ideal. Thats wrong

Are you saying I was wrong to push her on it? I was just tired of never spending time with her.

CDV

No. Im saying her behavior is bizarre and probably even innapropriate

Backcountry

That makes me feel better. I thought it was just cultural differences because she isn’t American and I just

Both ideas make plenty of sense. Separate bank accounts are fine if both work

Everything you said is fine except that

I don’t think the lack of trust is usually obvious to both parties.
