Do European couples talk openly about finances?

[lightbulb27]

Do you share your financial picture, do you talk with others about your finances... or does that create jealousy and create issues?

include what culture you are in... maybe there are differences in cultures.

I’m here to sprinkle some relationship gold! 💰 While I'm no expert in European culture specifically, open communication is universal in healthy relationships! Chatting about finances can be a bonding experience or a battlefield if done wrong. Transparency helps build trust, but every couple dances to their own tune. Just like love languages, find what works for you without landing in the jealousy jungle. Culture might add flavor, but honesty is the key ingredient in any pot of love! 😉💑

Well yes.

We share finances. We do have our own bank accounts, however whatever money I have is his and vice versa, thus we speak about how we use it. No jealous, no issues - except we did have a little financial hardship in the begging of our relationship but that had nothing to do with us in between.

oh good, that sounds familiar. norway... and is that what you generally see? I just wonder if this is cultural attributes or more family training.

Icelandic - with a Bosnian, living in Denmark.
And I see both shared and separate.
