This is tricky. I dont think there is a right or wrong answere. I dont think i would if the relationship wasnt stable, i would of had to have been with the guy for a while with the talk of marriage on the horizen. Money can mess up alot of things too, like for instance if one or the other deposits money into the account and the other spend it without the other knowing then there is the issue of you spent my money, where as if you are married it can still be like that but it is more of a joint money for the family then. So no if the relationship was new or not very old and yes if the relationship was where you both know the other well enough to share money and on the edge of marriage.

if we are still on the new boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, then i won't open an account with him. but if we are in the stage of serious relationship and planning for a definite future together, then i'd agree for one. provided that the account will be under a joint account with AND status (not the usual AND/OR, when one can withdraw without hte other person :) or i have to keep the passbook (no, no for an ATM). it is not that i don't trust my partner, but i prefer to be on the safer side.

yes you must first explore the person . . or let time do it for you . . we can't just throw everything away all of a sudden, and yes we must be careful on making the right decisons on giving somebody our trust

With my current boyfriend. Yes, i could and would trust him to have our accounts joined. Besides, i can monitor my earnings and his earnings, too. There are ways on how you could monitor your withdrawals because of the receipts.

it would probably make things more complicated having 2 people sharing the same thing

From my personal opinion, this is totally up to individual. Regardless you are a un(married) couple, as long as you trust your partner you can make the decision to share a joint account or not. For me, I will share a bank account with my husband.

well if you want to take the risk why not . . and if you do trust your partner why not?! being together and having a certain kind of separation . . hmm maybe its not really a good idea but the question is could you trust your partner with something?! its one way of showing you trust your partner

i would certainly say 'YES' you wouldn't be on that relationship if you don't have each other's trust. It is a big deal.

The thought actually scares me, just because I have had bad experiences in my past in doing this. But my current boyfriend, I feel I can trust a whole lot more, and since Ive done it before, I know what to do and what not to do this time around. Also, because my boyfriend and I are expecting a child, we may end up joining our accounts.
