Who should manage the finances in a relationship?

[Anonymous]

I think men are more competent at it. Women are more sensible. Men have the fire inside them to conquer and build success like my father

you must remember that the power dynamic is based on who controls the money. I believe it definitely should not be the woman because then it’s her deciding what you can and cannot do.

The man

The woman

You believe a woman shouldn't be in control because "it’s her deciding what you can and cannot do."?
The same logic would apply if a man was in control. Him deciding what she can and cannot do?
If my money is going into an account I have a say in how it's spent and when. If I were to share that account then that person would have a say too..
That's how my parents did and they rarely argued about spending habits. Big ticket items being a cause.

Yes, ma'am, I liked this comment months ago; now, I'd like to humbly ask you if you'd like to follow me, so I can be better apprised of your prescient, spot on opinions that ring as true as a church's steeple bell.

A buddy of mine gambles his paycheck away all the time. He specifically would be better off finding a less impulsive mate to curb his actions. Other times, a guy should have control.

To me, the less emotional individual should be the one controlling the business decisions.
