Deep dives
Shifting Financial Dynamics in Relationships
The modern approach to finances in relationships has evolved significantly, particularly since the 1970s, as women's financial independence increased. Couples, including both monogamous and polyamorous, are now more inclined to maintain separate finances rather than fully merging them upon moving in together. This change reflects a broader cultural trend where financial sharing isn't always the default assumption, allowing for individual autonomy. As a result, many polyamorous households adopt a mixed strategy of joint and separate finances, often tailoring arrangements that align with each partner's income and expenses.
