COUPLES! Do you split the bill at a restaraunt?

redpete

Our money is our money, person who pays is the one who gets their CC out first. Waiting staff give the bill to whoever asked for it usually, or they ask who's paying when they bring it.

I pay all the bills in the restaurant because my husband gives all his money to me. I only give him allowance if he is going to work.

I don't agree. This is a relationship dilemma re how people organise their finances if in a relationship. Why make an issue out of this to a new poster?

There's actually 2 threads running - 1 on here and 1 in DT.

All our wages etc go into our joint account, neither of us have separate finances.

I am generally the one that actually does the paying as she never likes to carry her giant purse and it makes me feel more masculine :P

Yep.

We've been together nearly ten years and we do. We live separately, though, which may make a difference.
