Why? Is it a trust thing? I don't understand.

Why not, if you both have jobs and make money? One less thing to potentially argue over. Sure, I gladly cover some things and so does my wife but, ever since we started dating, it’s always been 50/50. Split the bills, stuff for the kids, take turns for date night, etc.

Do most people think you HAVE TO get a joint account/share finances with your SO? I know my wife’s salary but not her account balances. I have my own money, why should I care?

Nothing wrong with sharing finances, but it leads me to my personal anecdote: my parents constantly fought over money. Whether or not that’s the sole reason they divorced, I’m sure it was a factor. My best friend’s parents are happily married. Mister specifically said keeping their money separate helped that.
