To be fair, there was a significant stretch of time when I was unemployed and he was supporting both of us when I just didn't have any means to pay. That was really tough to accept gracefully (internally) and not let it eat me up inside, actually.
When we ran separate households, we eventually got to the point of splitting shared expenses proportionately by salary level. Two people sitting at a table, two credit cards, they don't give both of them to one person.
Since we've gotten joint accounts, all the money comes from the same place, who cares? He's much more into calculating tip very carefully, so. . . I let him. *shrug*

I feel like such a cultural throwback now. . .
