PARTNER IS TOO CAGEY ABOUT HIS FINANCES

- Dear Coleen

I’VE been with my partner for seven years now, we both work full time and we’ve always had separate bank accounts.

However, since we had our son four years ago, it’s bothered me that we don’t discuss money and have no real clue about each other’s finances.

So, recently I suggested that we had a joint account to pay for things such as the mortgage, household bills and holidays, but he said he didn’t want to do this.

Now I’m worried, especially as we’re not married, that he doesn’t see us as being in a committed relationsh­ip. I’d love your opinion.
