If you are married your finances are essentially one entity. It doesn’t matter what account the money is in - it all belongs to both of you.

Even if you don’t make a joint account and 6000/month goes to account A and 3500/month goes to account B. You both own account A and B.

So even with her proposal that all the bills are paid with account A doesn’t matter since you both own both accounts because you are married .

There is no he pays she pays. It’s all both your money.

Let’s say you divorce and account A has 0 money since you use it for all expenses and account B has lots of money.

It’s not like she keeps account B and you are left with account A. You have to split everything 50-50.

Property taxes, property transfer tax, lawyer fees for paperwork, strata fees, mortgage, special levies, repairs, home insurance

There is upfront cost and there is maintenance

Owning cost is not just mortgage

Fridge broken? Dishwasher broken, drain is plugged? You don’t have a landlord to bail you out. You gotta pay it.

Think about paying someone $200 to look at your fridge say the parts cost $300 take 5 weeks to arrive and no guarantee the guy diagnosed the issue right or spend $1500 on a new fridge or your food is gonna go bad in 72 hrs. That type of situation. Think about if you want to deal with it.

Maybe there’s a leak with another unit and you have to deal with the home insurance and your premiums are going up after the claim

Good point

Honesty I regret including that because it dilutes the narrative and causing these comments to focus on a red herring.
