Do you show your Payslip to your Partner, Husband, Wife?

I've never even thought of doing this. My husband and I both work, and each of us receives pay directly into our separate checking accounts from our employers. So honestly we never even see each other's pay. We each have specific bills and household things that we pay for, and if one of us needs more money from the other to pay something, we just ask. When we are having some kind of emergency situation where we have to consider financial matters, we'll sit down and discuss all our options, but we don't really worry about it otherwise. If I were in a relationship where I felt that I couldn't trust my partner to let me know how much he makes, I would also wonder what else I couldn't trust him with.

No, I do not. He won't show me his either - we only give each other ideas about it. Such as "oo - good check" or vice versa. The reason I don't show him my check is that the one time he found out how much money I had he got miffed by it. Ever since he will bring it up once in awhile - even though I know for a fact he makes almost 3 times what I do. Interesting how things work huh?

My husband always kept his payslips in his locker at work. I only ever saw the year end one with all the year end totals on it. But now they don't even give out payslips anymore. Pay automatically deposited and they don't get a statement. I think that's odd because how do they know they haven't been ripped off for overtime worked or whatever? I see my husband's bank statement so I can see the pay deposits that go into his account. When I was working... I don't rightly remember. I'm sure I didn't keep it from him. Why would I? He's been at the same job for 21 years and I had been at mine for 7 when I left so it's not like we were bouncing around from job to job with different pay rates. There was nothing to hide.

I don't get a paystub. My hubby gets one but he brings his check in to me each time he gets paid so I see his. I'm the one that takes care of our checking account so I already know how much is put in our account. He doesn't care if I look at it or not.

I would think that couples need to be truthful and frank about their earnings since they are holding a family together. It is not a matter of who should earn more or pay more. It is mutual respect to let your partner know how much you are earning. It would be considered cheating if someone create their own payslips. Why would they do that unless there is intention to cheat! I doubt one will create their own payslips to report a higher figure than what they are earning. I would think it is often lesser than their actual pay so that they can have some pocket money hidden somewhere! How trustworthy can one be then?

I show my payslip to my wife. I think not just showing payslip to my partner is not cheating.

We don't show our payslips to eachother, per se, but if the other person asks, we're always honest. We know aproximately what the other person brings in along with what we make ourselves, and from there we decide what we are able to contribute to the household, and we agree on that.

i have only been working for last couple of months so i only have a few of them, i think each fortnight when i get them i just put them all together in a folder on the table, he has seem some of them but not all of them, but they arent hiding or anything so if he wants to look he can. he showed me his well he just give them to me so i can put his in a folder so they all together otherwise he would just loose them

I guess there is nothing wrong if you show your payslip to your partner, after all he is your partner. In our case, me and my partner are always willing to share personal things with each other. We share passwords and all other things that is personal already. We dont see any problem with that. There are people who wants to keep their privacy,we should respect that. if they are not comfortable in showing what they got... Its not cheating if you already agree that there are things that you want to keep in private... But personally, payslip I think its for the family... I dont know but I guess it depends on the belief of the person... but I think, for me,your partner have the right to know how much you are earning for the benefit of the family especially the kids... What is something that you have to hide in your pay slip? You dont want them to know how much you are earning so that you have extra money to spare... I dont get it.. The fact that you could always ask you wife that you will be keeping a part of your salary for your own needs. But of course the needs of teh family should be prioritize with the budgeting... save some...and make use of the remaining to buy the things that you want. It doesnt have to be to the point that it seems you will be rob if you let your partner see your payslip. Have a nice day.

My husband and I have always had a joint checking account, and we have always shown each other our pay stubs. It is more out of habit now, but I feel that when we first started doing it, it was because we shared everything. I guess it depends on the couple, but I have always thought that most people do share their paystubs with their significant other.

I do not show my payslip to my husband but he shows me his payslip. He earns twice as much as I do and his pay goes directly to household expenses. I need to see it so I can budget our expenses. He does not really care how much I earn because he does not expect me to use my salary for housdehold expenses so he does not care if I show my payslip or not. I do need to work because his salary is more than enough but I just work for personal fulfillment.

i'm not showing my payslip, but i'm always telling the truth, because my partner does the same thing..
