    We've got solo bank accounts. It's the smart thing to do. I pretty much control most of the finances. I put the money in her account for the bills.....when the time comes. I gave her some mad money for her birthday one year to go to the casino. She spent what I gave her, and went back and got the 400 for bills we stashed for that month. I was pissed. At the time we had cable, so I let it get cut off. She calls me to let me know that it was cut off. I knew it was, and she was shocked that I blamed her for that. It ain't no room for error when you get to this part of life. Yes its necessary to have separate accounts. This ain't the old days where people are disciplined. This is a new age where people are reckless, and sometimes in a marriage one or both slip up.

    My wife is a stay at home wife/mother but we still have separate accounts. Its nothing for me to send her money each week. I do it on my phone through CashApp. Its so much easier than wiring it or finding a GreenDot.

    Not all fiscally irresponsible people are malicious, some are just incompetent. Sometimes it's the man, leaving the woman to manage it all because he can't or won't. Or it can be the other way around.
    Some people use money to punish or control the other person.
    Sometimes its 1 person blaming the other person for doing exactly the same thing they do.
    IMO its foolish and pointless to try to figure out which it is from the outside. I got enough to keep track of in my own life to worry about judging others.

    I just plan on staying single. I came of age during the last oil boom and rode it to the end. To me its not worth risking a decade of hard work and sacrifice on a relationship. Courts ALWAYS favour the woman in a divorce and I'm not taking the chance at being used for a meal ticket.

    You are correct sir! I have Red Pilled my boys. STAY SINGLE or at least don't live with a woman or sign a contract with the State.

    It'd be different if things were truely equal. I've got no qualms giving a woman half of what we acquire TOGETHER. But to come into a relationship/marriage with a fraction of what I have, then demand half of everything if it doesn't work out really doesn't sit well with me.

    Correct and in another Generation or 2 women will look back on the WASTELAND Feminism turned a couple Generations into. It will go back to the natural, biblical relationship between Man and woman after that. Its not sustainable.

    Not true.
    The person who loves the least controls the relationship. The person who lies the best and has the most money usually controls the court.

    I was raised by a sociopath. I have firsthand knowledge about domestic abuse. I was point blank accused of provoking my own abuse at the hands of the brother 10 years older than myself.
    Keep your fantasy about how great the olden days were, some of us have to live in the real world.
