Spoiled is a very kind word to use. I'd use a more colorful term myself. Alas, some people are blessed with an incredible gift of patience.... You must be one of them.

We're teetering on the edge of divorce right now for a few reasons, but money is what started all of our problems. So I gave him his own account thinking it would help. It didn't. It turned into a "you have more money then me... why" type deal. We had fewer issues when we had a joint account. :wacko:

She comes first, ahead of the job, school, and your complaints about the stupid things your idiot partner/co-worker did today. She truly is interested in what you do and what happened, but not before you tell her you love her and give her a kiss when you walk in the door.
If you have a choice between working an extra shift and taking her to a movie, go see the movie.
Remember that you aren't the only one with things on your mind and concerns that need to be discussed; your job/position/place in this world is no more important than hers. Let her vent on you, too.
She will be there for you long after your back and knees are toast, and will probably be the one to pick out your nursing home when you get too hard to care for. Keep that in mind.
Planning your children is like planning an earthquake; it's gonna happen when it happens.
Many good wishes for a lifetime of fun and adventure...

I don't think having separate bank accounts is a bad reflection on a marriage. Different strokes and all that. What's "sharing a life" to one person is "horribly controlling and claustrophobic" to another. So if a joint account works, great; if separate accounts or three accounts work, also great. I don't think it should be anyone's place to judge.
I also don't see what's wrong with treating a household as a business, as long as you don't treat your kids and partner like employees. Household finances aren't all that different, especially for a single-income family.
