No, I’ve never been married, but because this is what I believe, and since my views don’t match up with yours, then it’s an unrealistic view and I’m living in a perfect world?-whatever! Yes, it does work that way, because it works that way for some people and it will work that way for my future husband and me! That’s why it’s important to marry someone with similar views, goals, and family values. There’s also this thing called communication. Ever heard of it?

I already said whatever works for you, then great, but just because I don’t see it that way doesn’t mean that my way is unrealistic or wrong!

My God, I hate it when people make stupid comments or get upset just because someone has an opinion about something that doesn’t match up with theirs. It’s SO annoying. Worry about your own relationship!

If you can't trust you partner, that is your own problem, but don't be surprised that others can. Money is what ruins most marriages that end in divorce. I decided a long time ago not to give money that kind of power over my relationship.
7 years isn't a long time.

I don't think you really know how financially hard marriage can be, but I'll buy what you said. Just so you know, the whining doesn't really help you.

Well we don't know you so excuse me if I don't care if you think 7 years is a long time. It works for my marriage so we use it. I'm sorry that you can't trust your partner with money. That's really sad. Maybe you should get a new one.

How long have you been married? How is your arrangement working out for you?
To humor me, how long does AOII Angel have to be married for her view to be valid?
