Who really wears the pants in your house?

Or maybe he just respects his wife and her opinions? Looks at it like a partnership instead of a superiority contest?

i dont know if it s soft maybe they couldn't afford what he was spending and she was making the smart decision??? hmmm???
My boyfriend hates the fact that I wear pants too.....tough shit 
Me wearing the pants means sometimes he needs to put on his skirt and stfu.
Just kidding, I believe in completely equal roles as man and woman.
^Possibility....maybe he's buyin' beans and his kids are barely eating as it is...you never know. Reverse the role Snype....would you allow a woman to just spend as she pleases without considering you or your household???

After being married for a few years men and women usually fall into different roles and responsibilities. My wife is in charge of paying the bills every month. Unfortunately, this also allows her to see where ALL the money goes.
Lets face it, to an outsider - spending a couple hundred on beans sounds ridiculous.

i think it depends on who's bringing home the bacon
Actually, more and more marriage counselors and financial counselors are recommending that the household use a single account. It not only builds a stronger sense of partnership ('ours', not 'mine'), it also encourages communication about financial matters.
This is considered so important because financial concerns are one of the most oft cited cause of divorce.
'If you can't trust him/her, perhaps you shouldn't have married him/her' is the underlying theme.
yeah i have to ask my girl before any major financial decisions, even if its my money lol

I think that if only one of the person works then the other person should just trust what the other one is doing with the money. Maybe if there's some money problems going on then I can see a little conversation about it.
Why?
Making money does not mean you're good with money. If that were true, you wouldn't see white collar bankruptcies.
Yeah you are right but you're forgetting that they also recommend that they also have separate accounts as well as a joint "household" account. Remember around 50% marriages end in divorce so it's basically a coin flip.

i agree with you 100%
I think it's important for one person in the relationship to have veto power. Role-equality has degraded the American Family, in my opinion.
