Affairs of the heart…

I’m sorry to say but with comments like “Yes, I would date a man that did not own his own home with the caveat that he would own it in the not-too-distant future,” and having separate checking accounts would be “a deal breaker,” and I were a guy, I’d be dropping the pre-nup line very early in the conversation with you!
It appears to me that money and financial stability are very high on your priority list, and that would freak me out!
My husband and I had separate checking accounts for many years, still do, but now we do have a joint one also. It works out great. No one has to ask or explain any purchases if it was done with their own money. Big purchases done with the joint account is a different story, but I work for my money as does he, and if I want to spend my money on something that seems frivolous (sp)to him, I do, no questons asked. Money has NEVER been an issue in our relationship, but has been in past ones where there was only one account.
I think it’s the only way to go.

Ok, some of you are still not understanding me, I’ll try this one more time.

Novice, maybe you haven’t read my last few posts. The reason I want a man at some point to own his own home is because if there is a divorce, he will have his residence and I will have mine. There would be no need to sell our respective homes and divide the proceeds. You cannot put a price on memories. I would be very uncomfortable having to sell the home without wanting to.

In regards to the checking account issue, I know a couple of ladies who have separate checking accounts, but like you, it is in addition to joint accounts with their mate/spouse. With these accounts they buy personal things, get nail’s done,hair clothes, personal expenses. Their husbands may have one too. Hence these accounts are for convenience and their is a joint account as well. The problem I have is with one party in a marriage insists that the accounts or major accounts be separate for financial reasons and without the consent of the other party.

Marion if you own your own home and have a prenup and a decent job a man would only have to have enough wealth for maybe an “old fashioned” nice date now and then. Your pool of candidates would increase tremendously.

We should have all been trust fund babies.
