Are there many wives and/or husbands who hide their finances through online banking?

I hope not. It is not much of a basis for marriage. Her attorney should be able to go after the assets.

I didn’t tell my husband I had been saving money in my personal savings account. I was saving it for a rainy day for us to share, and it was only little bits of my paycheck at a time. He wasn’t angry when I told him (when we went through a huge financial burden) of course I told him about the money once we needed it, and we had to use it for bills. I think that’s the only time it’s okay to keep a secret, since I feel my secret didn’t hurt the family and wasn’t done maliciously.
My husband tends to make rash financial decisions without me, which I find very frustrating, but he does not hide our finances. I can easily look them up online or go to a bank.

That’s horrible. More than likely, he was hiding other things as well.

My wife and I have one shared account that we both have access to. I do the bills, but that’s only because my wife hates doing them (not that I’m thrilled with it) :^)

I have known two couples who kept separate accounts, didn’t share any funds, and paid bills like they were roommates. One couple even bought their son separate birthday and christmas gifts. Both couples ended up divorced.

I should think for wives, yes. At least for those I’ve talked to. Whether they’re working or housewives, they have a hidden stash kept just in case their husband decides to walk out on them one day or something drastic like that.

I shure hope not! That’s being to controlling and showing your SO that you don’t trust them.

Me and my SO have seperate accounts, but we share everything anyway. The only thing I hide is that I have a seperate account where I have a few thousand kroner (about 2500–3000 dollars) that he don’t know about. That’s my failsafe if anything goes wrong, call it ‘girl-money’.

But right now I’m contemplating spending my girl-money on new boobs :P
