I don't like to depend others for money. I like to be independent financially. If we have money, we can spend it whenever we want. No husbands are ready to give money for fulfilling our all wants. Sometimes we will get, but sometimes we won't. That is according to their mood. What about you? I like to know about your opinion.

In marriage, money belongs to both parties and it should be discuss always everything about money so that it would not be the cause of problems. It depends on the situation. Rich couples actually have their own money. They can actually spend it without asking permission from the other. But with the average living couple, i guess one should not expect that kind of deal because it's important that you share the money and have a budget. Me, i work for my wants, honestly but still have some portion of it to put on my kids needs, as well. Although my husband is a good provider. Have a nice day!

My marriage has never worked fairly. It's been together for 13yrs, but none of that was an equal share. In short, I hate relying on my husband for money. I've been out of work for years recovering from a brain injury and trying to earn trickle incomes online. Its enough to make me go mad! I finally feel like I might be able physically and mentally to handle part time work, but alas there isn't any available in my area right now. It is very frustrating. I have basic needs covered but nothing extra, and he gets to do whatever he wants because in his opinion it is "his" money. Money is the major battle in my marriage and I just wish I could earn more from home but it seems I can't so I'll soon be working any job I can get just to avoid having to rely on him.

To be honest with you, he has his money and i have mine.We both share the bill paying and we both do and get the things that we want as well as all the things that we need.I think that if you are husband and wife then you should never class the money as seperate money,as it is both of yours.I never go to him for money.

Hi,
Interesting topic and from the bottom of my heart,
I do not like to depend on my husband for money.I prefer to
depend on myself,but with my current situation, I have to
depend on my husband as I am not able to be out to work. I
have to be at home taking care of my son.
So what I can do is to earn some money from any online jobs.
I do have pressure when asking money from my husband,although it
is his responsibility to takecare of me and the family,but it seem
I am giving him more burden everytime when I asked for money from him.
We are not rich family,so money is very concern in our living and we
try to save as much as we can.

Me and my boyfriend always spend the money we earn, together. Never mind who won the amount, more of the money goes for our expenses, like bank credits, rent, power bill, water bill, phones and so on. This is how i feel really great. I don't like to depend of someone, but i know that if i have be like that, my boyfriend would never say no to my wishes. If everything is paid, he will please me the way i want to be pleased. Never mind that we are not husband and wife, we live together and it seems cruel for me if one of us don't respect the personal needs and expenses of the other. If we got enough, we decide for what to spend the other money. I'm more about to spend the money for something, which is needed. I never think about myself only. That times for me are in the past. I'm 25 years old and i decided to share my life with my boyfriend, it means all the pluses and minuses of that.
