Ladies, do you expect him to do so or can he keep his stuff in his name alone? Men, do you expect her to do so or can she keep her stuff in her name alone?

I wouldn't transer any separately-acquired assets. He can keep his stuff as well.

2. For those who are for pre-nups, are you also for keeping all of your separately-acquired property in your name and not mingling it or its profits with the property that you acquire together?
|
Keeping it separate. Mine is Mine. His is His. Ours is Ours.

3. When you pay the bills, is it 50/50 or per the share of income that each brings into the house?
|
I'm not paying any household bills. Either it would be totally traditional where I wouldn't work at all and I took care of the household and children and did lots of big community service type things. OR If I worked, my salary would be my personal spending money. Otherwise it is a no-go.

4. Is the way that you deal with the management of finances indicative of your trust or love for the other person?

I don't think so. I just feel like, I've tried things the other way around and it didn't work for me. So I wouldn't waste time trying to go the 50/50 (which never really is 50/50) route again. I'm cool on that. I wouldn't love my mate any less or distrust them any more. I know what wouldn't work for me. At the same time I am not dying to be married like most single, never-before-married people, so if I couldn't get things the way I want them, I'm good with being single...we could just date.
