Lying about money

  • Married 35 years and we have never had an argument about money. We trust each other and have never felt the need to account for every penny. Op this seems to be more about control than money.

    We have never argued about money either. We have a couple of joint accounts for bills and personal accounts for savings and personal spends. Neither of us would spend more than, say, £50 on something it wasn't allocated for without informing the other one.

    It seems to me as though the OP's OH thinks he should have more personal money than he does. They need to sit down and honestly discuss their finances .

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    It doesn't matter how many socks you buy, there will always be at least one missing. ;)
