Hi,
Yes it's very important!! my wife and I know exactly what each of us earn each month, please don't keep secrets as they will come back to haunt you in the future, I learned that lesson years ago
All the best!!

You mean, to behave like shameless barely civilized monkeys? Sadly yes, it seems so. (OK I'm being a little sarcastic here. There is nothing more ridiculous than americans when we're having occasional fits of morality. Americans after all, invented televangelists.) While I wouldn't say your husband's behavior is "normal" it's certainly not unheard-of. All else being equal the odds are 50:50 he'll do it again. Like I implied earlier Americans generally don't have a strong sense of "shame." Or in other words, personal honor. We're not taught to value the respect of others in the same way Japanese children are, which is think is the biggest cultural difference between the USA and Japan. So yes, the fact that he apologized and claims he's sorry, may be a lot less reliable than if you were dealing with a Japanese person. Something I admire about Japaneses is they (at least in my experience) have a lot more integrity than Americans do. They're far less likely to break a promise if they give them.

Don't tell the actual amount that you earned. Tell her your salary (about 50% less of your present salary) and see the reaction. This is also a way to see whether she go for your money or other things. Definitely, when she become your wife then is another story. You have to let her know the actual amount you earned in order to trust each other.

from a gals pt of view, if u are just dating initially then no. pls dun tell her how much u earn. cos she may be out there trying to cheat yr money. after dating sometime, if u feel comfortable telling her abt tis then there is no harm telling her. this is becos as u noe money is a very sensitive problem. if u dun tell her how much u earn after some time she may feel tat u dun trust her in tis relationship. as u noe girls loves to imagine for the worst.
of cos! of cos! u muz let yr wife noe how much u earn mthly if not how is she going to control u???? haa... she will feel secure if u are going ard with only just enough money to spent on yrself and no other notti things....

I would not let her know, one reason she is a g/f and I believe the relationship has to farther along than that. Financial status should only be discussed when two are making plans on a future together. I would say after engagement would be the right time to discuss this with her. This way you know if she is with you because of you and not your wealth. Good luck.

Never tell a g/f how much money you make. It's not unusual for them to get funny ideas about dipping into your wallet.

If you have long enough relationship with her automatically you will let her know everything, except cheating!

It is good to let her know so that both of you can budget for your own program.

Does your girlfriend need to know how much you make?
