No offense, but this is the main reason I will likely never get married. I've heard similar stories from both men and women about how they would save but their spouse won't let them and will just spend anything they try to save. The idea just drives me completely insane. I've also heard numerous stories about both men and women that involve one person trying to hide money from the other one which just seems crazy to me for spouses to do such things, but it seems to be fairly common. Kind of a rant. It's a topic that kind of hits home to me right now with my parents going through financial issues.
wait..huh? ...I don't think that's so common...or it shouldn't be...sounds ridiculous to me. Don't people think these things through?
..... before you marry someone you should know what your future spouse's goals ,life plan and expectations are and if they are compatible?? BEFORE you become partners for life? or do people just think with their pants? or not at all?
just seems odd that the most important decision you will likely ever make in your life...and it's not even discussed..
like most things in life..if you are realistic, informed ,prepared and have common goals and expectations you can create a partnership that has a fighting chance to withstand life's crazy ride! What would anyone expect otherwise?
I don't get it....
and of course there are always exceptions...anywho...just sayin.. it makes me sad to think you feel that way about marriage I guess...
hmmmm
but ...to each their own! carry on!
