ORIGINAL: takenbyjohnr07 The difference is that when your name is not on a account and you suspect something or desperatley need money for something he won't let you have you are screwed, if your name is on the account you have access to the money that is rightfully yours and can withdraw it any time. . First of all, if there is trust and a solid foundation in the relationship, I probably would not suspect anything and in a loving relationship if I desperately needed some thing like a box of tampax, he's probably wouldn't tell me no. Further if my name was on the account and he told me that I was not allowed to withdraw any money even if I needed it, if he said no, I wouldn't do it. I think the point is---that if the relationship has progressed where there is absolutely no question of trust, it doesn't matter if her name is on the account or she has access. She trusts that he will handle the money well and provide for her needs. If they have only known each other a short time as you suggested (and personally for me a short time would be less than two years when it comes to money) and they have not built that foundation of extreeme trust, and he takes her money or doesn't provide for her, it's her own damn fault for not using common sense.
