Quote:
What do you think? If a partner spouse asks for a business loan, defines the terms, and signs a promissory note, should they be accountable?
Yes.

Quote:
He also asserts that because he pays for my cell phone, health insurance, and groceries, that he is repaying me.
What is your perspective on this claim?

Quote:
His position is that all money is "our" money and so I should never expect to be repaid for these business loans.
If he actually believed this, as opposed to saying it only when convenient for him to say it, he would have consulted you about the $80,000 car.

Quote:
He seems to be more interested in the opinions of neutral parties
Okay.

Good partners do not take money from their significant other in the guise of a loan, and then ultimately use the money to support their own private, expensive interests and tastes.

Also, good partners don't rage at their significant other. Good partners discuss in good faith.

[I expect him to find flaws in any neutral opinion that doesn't line up with his.]
Thanks for this!
