What's worked well for our relationship is that we have all our finances shared but a while ago - we each decided to get a separate credit card account for each of us with a nominal $1000 limit. The activity on those credit cards isn't visible to either of us and we settled on a low limit so that it would be immaterial.
This way I don't complain that she spent $100 on her nails and $300 on her hair cut etc and then she doesn't complain that I went out on the town with the boys and spent $700-$800. I guess we realized if you just think of it as numbers, we wouldn't react as bad but when we used to see each other's silly expenses come across the statement, those used to cause more of an issue/arguments.
