Boyfriend wants to break up over me not wanting a conjoined account

[Naz56]

Yup, there is no "right" or "wrong" here. If you both continue to insist that one side is correct and the other is wrong, you have deeper problems than that.

Some topics that would probably be relevant here include: who makes more money, what is your/his credit history, are you embarrassed by your financial situation, etc.

Agreed. You guys should talk things over and try to sort it out first.

Anyone else notice that:

1. The OP was a brand new poster
2. The OP has not returned

Guess she either made up her mind or did not like our advice. I suggest we let this thread die.

Absolutely positively DO NOT DO IT! Breaking up with you because you won't open a joint account with him? I don't know your relationship history/background, I'm lead to believe he wants your money.
Sorry

I agree wisewoman he wants your money. as it seems quite becular that he's given you a ultamatum on your relationship due to a joint-account. what is he hiding

Who is right, and why? All comments will be taken into consideration, and thank you in advance.

I feel theres underlying issues here, as they say, when money problems come in the front door, love goes out the back door, just sit down an talk it thru, im sure you will be fine, honesty is the best policy for the both of ya.

How are things working out Phez, any progress

You should try to look within yourself to see if you really trust him. I think as a general rule it is best to wait until you are married or engaged to share bank accounts.

[couchrobt]

This is a common situation. Nothing is too bad if it happened to you. Look at the brighter side of the situation. It is best that you realize it now. Keep in mind that money and money talks will always be there. If you cannot discuss it well, means you will have issues in the future.

1, open joint account 2, withdraw all your money from said account,3, open another seperate account 4, run do not walk away from this relationship

[zaccolbert]

That's ridiculous, yhou should finish with him just for him wanting to break up with you coz you don't want a joint account, the guy sounds like a tool

[debtfreeme]

I cannot imagine having a joint account with anyone, unless it is my future husband. There are to many possibilities and it makes me nervous to link accounts with anyone.

Who does he want it so bad? Does he need your help? Are you living together? Do you have each others powers of attorney? Are you planning to marry? What are your credit histories like? What benefit does it give you? To him? How long have you beed together?

It makes me suspicious that he would break up with you over this.

[charley_alford]

Girl, this one is trouble. Why exactly does he want a joint account with you? And why does he want one desperately enough to end things with you? It seems like he’s after your cash. Good riddance, IMHO.
