When I say “true” is because if I really try to be objective about it, true love should mean true sharing, which means there’s no your money vs her money. Nevertheless, my brain constantly tells me that it’s better to have separate finances as people have different priorities and different goals so they will spend differently. Watching one spend while the other one tries to save is like the ultimate relationship ender. So this way everyone in the relationship can be happy and there’s no stress about money. Great, right? But it still feels a bit like preparing for failure, just in case there’s an argument, just in case people change. Because we can fall in love and still be in love after the passion ends, even after 10 years… but after 30 years? we’ve all seen our parents. I love my girlfriend more than anything and I want to grow old with her chilling doing our hobbies, it’s literally my dream, but I’m not sure I will ever want to get married or even join finances, and it sucks. submitted by /u/Project_Utopia_
