I can really relate to this. In a previous relationship I almost felt guilty, and certainly a little awkward, for being financially savvier than my partner, who had much more money than me (but knew less about what to do with it). Just my two cents (and the bias that comes along with studying gender roles for my PhD), but I think feelings like guilt and not wanting to feel different are related to the taboos about women and money (real or imagined) that you talk about in Prince Charming Isn’t Coming.

Keep up the good work!

Sharing actual financial statements may not be necessary, but figuring out expense responsibilities is. After all, you wouldn’t start a business with someone without managing this piece; why move in before this is agreed upon?

Good luck sorting this out. You’re so great – continue to respect yourself! (And being candid with your partner means you respect and trust his ability to hear and handle the information, too.)
