Nina at Sitting Pretty has a great post on this topic, primarily about power and equality.
I’ve never had a ‘Helena’ in my life. I’ve had the occasional boyfriend who bought everything when we went out to eat or go dancing, but no, no lavish gifts. No vacations to exotic locations.
Couples need to talk about money and what it means to them. It saves a lot of grief later on. Financial compatibility should be as important as other types of compatibility when picking a partner. As my co-worker said to me the other day, ‘Are you a spender? Is your boyfriend? Because a relationship with two spenders is really tough.’ (Don’t worry, he’s not a nosy guy. It was something he said after making a comment about his wife’s spending habits.)
