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.

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!

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.
