HELP ME, GET THROUGH...TODAY. THE DAY MY CHILD TOOK HIS OWN LIFE. HELP ME, GET THROUGH...THE PAIN. HELP ME, GET THROUGH...THE MEMORIES. HELP ME, GET THROUGH...THE STARES, FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. HELP ME, GET THROUGH...THE TEARS, I AM SURE TO SHED TODAY. HELP ME, GET THROUGH...THE FEELINGS, I AM GOING TO FEEL TODAY, THE PAIN, THE ANGER, THE DISBELIEF, THE WONDERING WHY? HELP ME, GET THROUGH...JUST TODAY. 14 years ago today my wife called me at work and said "Jer....You need to come home.....now". Our oldest Daughter made the decision to no longer walk this planet. Our lives have forever been changed and the ramifications from what she did still show their ugliness almost daily to those that new her. My Heart bleeds the most for my Wife her Sister and the 3 Kids she left behind. I pray that she found the peace she was looking for and that someday we that were left to deal with the situation find ours. I miss you Christy and love you.....big as the sky !!

All I know me and the Mrs. have never fought over money, hard times as well as good. We have a common goal in life to get to and are working together to get there. The words mine, yours, hers, his never happen it's always ours or we. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones, or maybe we are the misfits in this fucked up world. My parents did it this way for 47 years and the inlaws did it that way for 42 years and marital problems were never a problem. And I read that story it says nothing about shared finances being the cause, it just say money and finances are the leading cause. Maybe....... it's because most couple are untrusting of each other with money and that leads to the problems. Maybe of they shared more it would have helped. Every thing is subject to interpretation

I have personally never understood the whole "her money" "his money" separate bank account thing. Like Jim said above, we are partners for life and have one checking and savings account, both our names are on all the bills and we make decisions together. For the ones that are already planning ahead for your divorce i don't even know how to respond to that other than . Me and the Mrs. have been together for 22 years and married for 18 of those years. For the the first 20 year i always made more than her for a while it was substantially more, she went back to school and worked hard to get a degree and i worked hard to keep our heads above water and now she now has a career and make more money than me and that will continue to be more every year. So both our checks go into the joint account every other week and i sit down and pay the bills that are due. If she needs or wants somthing she get it, if i need or want something i get it if it is a high dollar purchase we make a joint decision.

That event still makes me smile and giggle.

I pay the house payment, wife pays utilities. I make more and sock away money in savings for remodeling and what not. She buys the dog T-shirts. Separate account since before we got married.
