England isn't that much fun anyway - let her go, and you go to East

If she still doesn't see what she is doing wrong, it's time to find yourself a new soul mate.

I can only see having a joint savings account and I am married. Joint accounts are for money that is going to grow with the relationship. Daily bills and bull**** expenditures are for personal accounts. It is up to you guys to decide who pays for what in a living situation, but joint funds should be only for saving and growing. You needn't worry about what she spends her money on and she needn't worry about what your expenditures are. The joint account is there, and will always grow as long as you design your living situation this way.

And by all means, man, also keep personal checking and savings accounts. It isn't really anyone's business how you spend your money, as long as you contribute adequately to the joint account(s) that represents your relationship's long term goals.

Especially if you are not married.
