I think the issue here wasn't the separate accounts, but the lack of communication about things. No matter how the money is set up, I think things like taking trips would be something that you would discuss.
It sounds like in the scenario above, the one partner resented the other one's purchase, so they went out and planned something to get back at that person. That's going to cause issues, no matter what account the money comes out of.
