I just find it it’s a true shared pot , you end up with eye rolling and annoyance with the other sides purchases. New Xbox , ugh did you need that! $300 shoes? Reallly !!!
If each side retains some financial independence , in my opinion and experience there are less arguments and fights ( and guilt in some cases on what you buy )

Agree with this 100%. I know it’s important for my wife to have some financial independence.
