Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. If you'd like to discuss this further, we can split the posts into a new thread, since any more discussion will take this thread off topic......
and just because you see it somewhere doesn't mean its common and happens everywhere. that was my only point, end of story.
no, its called being wiser and mature in your outlook, which nowadays may be under the category of old school since its so rare. sad.
Re: would you share everything incl ur money with hubby?
I think I mostly agree with DB.
Re: would you share everything incl ur money with hubby?
I share EVERYTHING, every penny with my wife - I insist.
If she was to inherit something, she would do the same for me - but I would not take it.
Its her right
Re: would you share everything incl ur money with hubby?
What's his is ours, and what's mine is mine lol :D
No, I would share everything with him as I know that anything he would do for us would be in both our best interests. I would trust him with everything.

a) Husband should * not expect * any financial support from wife. It is his responsibility to try his level best to provide for his wife and children.
b) Wife is not expected to share her property/money with husband, however, if she fails to have the heart to offer it to a husband, who has proven over the years that he is not greedy, in the time of sheer need, then shame on her.
Re: would you share everything incl ur money with hubby?
^ agree with B.
With regards to A, yes the husband has the responsibility to provide for his wife and children, but in today's society (maybe more so in the west?) it is difficult to make do on one salary, thus often making it a necessity for a wife to provide additional financial support to contribute to the household expenses.
Re: would you share everything incl ur money with hubby?
'Trying his level best' is the idea here. Yes, chances are he could still fail to meet the family's demands, so I guess at times the demands need to be curbed and he would need to try harder.
I agree that in this day and age, our expectations are no longer limited to food and shelter alone, and that means a lot of new expenditures. But I guess the basics should always be taken care of by the husband, and if the wife agrees, they could use her money to dine out once in a while etc.

Somethings are not required but nice to do (like helping hubby with your own wealth) and somethings are allowed but are not nice to do (like divorce etc).
If you think he is trustworthy (when it comes to spending) and he is doing this for the better future of the family (you and your hubby not extended family), I think you should have no problem doing it. In US many legal firms work on these type of transactions and make the agreements such that your investment will be secure. I am sure UK has many legal firms like this too. That will give you peace of mind and you will also help your family out.
are you nadz?
i was thinking the same thing
