Re: For the Independent women - Depending on others?
I felt extremely awkward asking my husband for money initially. He would get annoyed so he got me a separate debit card to use and slowly but surely I got used to it. Now it doesn’t matter if I am using his money or mine. It’s all the same. It takes time to adjust but you do eventually lose the “ego” or whatever it is that we should call it. 
It feels great though really..not depending on someone but knowing that there’s another person keeping your spending in check.
I ask my hubby if I can buy something and it’s completely unneeded. That’s the greatest thing about sharing life with someone special, whatever is his belongs to you and whatever is yours belong to him. It’s really not depending on someone if you get what I mean
