Today, my husband of 3 weeks told me he doesn't want to be married anymore because I suggested getting a joint bank account. FML

I bet you didn't 'bank' on that when you said "I Do"...

It might be time to talk to him if it's a trust issue . . . Sorry OP

Getting life insurance after 3 weeks is grounds for divorce but a joint bank account can't be any more serious than a 2 week trial separation.

Just give him sometime. My wife did that to me, and I was worried at first. Now I'm ok with it. It has nothing to do with trust. It's just the fact that your whole life is changing and I wasn't ready for everything to change so quickly. Just be patient with him though

having a joint bank account can be tough. might be better to decide on a bank together, both open individual accounts and a joint account. this way you work together and keep your autonomy as well.

tbh I don't want one either when I'm married lol why should the wife be entitled to the husband's money he works hard for? vice versa? you can split costs and have money for savings and for yourself. that simple. if they're a good spouse. they will share their wealth anyways.

obviously there's a lot more going on than just that. counseling maybe?
