Should you know your partners salary?

[Cerys]

Obviously not if you're not serious however if you've made financial commitments together such as mortgages then yeah I think you should know.

[FlyingJesus]

idk about SHOULD but I'd want to know so I can work out how much of their money I can spend

[mrwoooooooo]

lol cant have a true relationship if you cant trust your partner with your salary. rofl

[wixard]

yeah I dunno why someone would want to keep it from them anyway? I've a friend who is so weird about telling us what she makes I dunno why it's so taboo to ask

anyway me and my boo both on that high life min wage salary

[Phil]

I know my girlfriends wage and she knows mine but I don't think either of us know how much each other has very often. We are pretty open about it and hopeing to live together soon so will probably know more then. I don't think it's a necessity but it could be important

[Jake]

Yes - how can you plan a life together financially without knowing it?

This.
If I met someone and they refused to tell me how much they earnt a year I would think twice about dating them.
Pretty much setting yourself up for disaster.

[Zak]

Yes - how can you plan a life together financially without knowing it?

Read my mind

[abc]

Yes in any long term relationship.

[velvet]

only if you're living together. even then i don't think you need to know exact specifics. i like with my partner and have no idea how much he makes, he contributes more than me so it doesn't matter to be what extra he has.

[Mrs_Plant]

Well since we lived together me and my other half share a bank account so everything we earn goes into one account so I know everything makes it easier to plan and for bills etc I don't see why it's a big secret etc lol
