My bf and me are very intimate and we love each other very much. However the time i put forward the suggestion that we deposit and spend money independently, he feel frustrated. Because he think if we would do so, our relationship may be gradually distant.But for me, I want financial freedom before marriage. Am I right or wrong? Is there a better way to disolve the matter?

Have seperate bank accounts. That way, if should you break up before marriage ( and you know it is true, it does happen ), the two of you don't have the ugly mess of dividing up the money. After marriage, sure, merge the accounts.

Thx!~~~
Though break-ups did happen while the possibility is lower and lower for us. However i still want to use my money freely before marriage. The question is how i can pursude him. I really don't want any unpleasant between us.

LLYNN, why did he feel frustrated? Does he earn less than you? If I were him, I feel very happy to take your advice. It is his honour to have a independent girl.

I think you are right to keep your seperate accounts, better safe than sorry, stay in control.

Keep your seperate bank accounts. Everything has been okay until now hasn't it, so why does he suddenly have a problem with it? Does he see it as a sign that you dont trust him? Explain to him that if you didnt trust him you wouldnt be marrying him.
