Joint account or separate? The question sounds logistical — but it's asking how much you trust each other. Make the decision that protects the relationship, not just the balance.
What started with the joint account just got more complicated. Now you need to make joint financial decisions that honor both partners' needs and autonomy — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
