Set up an account for bills only. Do not touch what is necessary. That’s not negotiable.

It happens to a lot of us. Just always remember that having each other is far more valuable than money and just both of you try the best you can with the money.

I hate that shit. Thats why I'm in charge.

Money stuff is never fun. :/ After four years, my girlfriend and I are just now finally starting to get it figured out. -_-

This is the first big test of your relationship. I’ve lived 32+ years and never been in any kind of romantic relationship before, but I read something to this effect that rings true to me:

The strength of a relationship lies not in not disagreeing with the other person, for conflicts will inevitably arise; instead it is in how well you work out your conflicts together.

Apparently money fights are the most common and can devastate a relationship. Hope you manage as a couple.

fighting is bad enough but fighting over money can be lethal to a relationship. sorry to hear this

Got to learn to work that out especially at your age because believe me it gets harder.

Seems most couples fights are over money.

Finances is always a source of friction in a marriage.

Are you still fighting?
