Trust is so important, especially when one of the partners has bad associations with money. Micah has bad associations with not having any money... I'm really glad to hear that you two are feeling more comfortable about this. Micah and I had a good breakthrough a few nights back which made him feel really good. That’s wonderful!

It took us a bit to get there, but once you're there, life is a whole lot easier! Good for you for being at that point and for letting go of your old habits. I let go of a lot of mine and I know how hard it is. Congrats on making that progress! Take Care LJ Isn’t that a good feeling when you both are getting to the same page in your finances?

We just went through something similar to this as well and are now working together financially. I think it's easy for couples to NOT work together financially especially when only ONE person is responsible for all the money decisions. It certainly can get out of hand if both people aren't in tune. I just love reading your blog! We just went through something similar to this as well and are now working together financially.

It takes time to change and be far enough past the bad money behaviors to regain some trust with it. Just as he's had to regain my trust on issues, this was one that he had to see in action for a while before he really trusted it was for good. It's no fun being in that position, but once you're past it, it's worth the work you're doing to get to that better place and move on. Sarah, I think that is very true.

I gave him a good reason not to, though. He WANTS to trust me, but I usually disappoint him in the end. I am glad you have reached the place where you have "plateau-ed". It really helps the marriage.
