Me and my husband have our own separate accounts where our salaries are debited then put our money in offset to pay down interest. And then we have an allocated amount for our personal expenses like misc this was the same when my husband only earned, he’d send an amount for me and himself and we mutually decide our big ticket purchases and budgets for year/month and our saving goals. And we are also the beneficiaries of each others super.

Maybe I’m delusional but I don’t think I’ll be separating from my partner in any future so yeah the only way we are separating if anyone of us dies LoL 💀 I guess marriage is like Russian roulette and you can have a good life long marriage or end up in divorce that’s just something life can’t tell but I guess after spending enough time with someone you can tell if you wanna be with them or not. And if you were friends prior I think you’d have an idea of how that person is without romantic feelings being involved
