What's yours is yours...

The only thing I'm remotely possessive about is the iPad. It's in my name, I paid for it and pay the contract for the data each month, and I get narky when OH nicks it to take to work.

However, considering OH pays for a lot more household stuff than I do, I really do KNOW I shouldn't complain!

But for an only child, I'm pretty good at sharing stuff (I think!)

I'm pretty good at sharing, unless it's food. I get very annoyed if H tries to drink my juice that i bought for me. I'm very particular about food and drink, so i'm quite possessive of that. I go off my nut if i find out he's been in at my stuff.

I also get annoyed if he's tried to use any of my shampoo/body washes (yes, i buy girly smelling ones, but that doesn't stop him) Also toothpaste. I have a specific one that i use that he's not to use.

We share everything else....except the housework it would seem ? but that's a whole other arguement.

Haha! This sounds exactly like me.

We share pretty much everything. Our phones are our own but that has nothing to do with who pays for them... we have all joint finances so pay jointly... but they 'belong' to each person. We do have separate current accounts but only with some emergency money and the ISAs are in separate names because they have to be.

We had pretty much nothing when we got together so there's nothing from 'before' the relationship either. If there had been I would probably feel differently about sharing stuff, but there isn't.

I do sometimes complain a little bit because I often use gift vouchers for Christmas/birthdays to buy essential items, whereas he would only use his gift vouchers for himself. But in fairness he got suitcases for his last birthday and a Henry Hoover the birthday before ? and I do appreciate having nice things for the house more than he does.

I'm a very sharey person I don't really see anything as mine or his. Except some of his really gadgety bits. I have no interest in those! Technically, the majority of the contents of our house, and even the house itself are mine, I just don't view them that way. I wonder if it were the other way around, if he would be the same? I get the feeling that a lot more would be his.

We share almost everything! I am trying to think of something I "claim" as mine but apart from the obvious things ie clothes aftershave, make up etc, there's nothing.

Mine;

Phone

Car

Kindle

Bathroom Products

TV Remote

We are the same as Claire, we share everything.

I get annoyed when he uses my Aussie shampoo to wash the dog.

We share most things really although we are both extremely protective about our phones. No idea why! I think I just don't like anyone reading things that weren't written to them - it's like reading my diary!

I am extremely protective of Hitched. If it's up on the comp and he sits down I make him shut it down before he's allowed to use the t'interweb.

As soon as we moved in together all our stuff became 'ours.' I only ever accuse H of stealing stuff that's mine if he polishes off the last of my chocolate and then doesn't replace it.

We share quite well, the only time I get peeved is when I've bought something (food or drink) which is a particular favourite of mine and he scoffs it. It's even more maddening when it's something he claims he doesn't even like in the first place.

I'm tres jealous of this. I'm rarely allowed near the thing!

We share everything except fancy toiletries. The only time I get annoyed is if he eats/drinks all the good stuff before I get home and doesn't replace it.

ETA: I also get annoyed when he uses my towel and leaves it wet on the bedroom floor.

As a self-confessed Brat it is awesome living alone, mine mine mine.

However, I would happily let someone share my bills, I'm kind like that. ?

We share everything (even my toiletries, which he calls "ten years younger stuff") but we don't joint own everything. In case of a split, we know who owns the major stuff (car, electronics, furniture, etc.)

I always joke that everything in the house is mine because I lived there long before he moved in.

In reality though, it's both of ours. There's nothing I wouldn't share with him.

Food mainly but only because he is a bottomless pit and will eat anything in site.

OH doesn't like me using his shampoo, he tells me to stop it as it is for men. I am sure the shampoo is no different to normal shampoo.

The whole flat is mine ? He doesn’t like it when I point that out!!

Most stuff I’m fairly ‘us’ about.

Laptop is mine though but then I did have it before we were together.

Cars are individual, mine and his.

George forman grill is his.

Power drills are his.

Xbox is his. Wii is mine.

The whole bed is mine, including his half.

This for me but with the duvet... I am a duvet thief!

*looks in mirror to check in case I am in fact the same person as mrs c*

?

Forgot to add, although I am both a bed and duvet hogger I get the right hump if he does the same!!

I would ring my OHs neck if he used my Aussie shampoo! He did it once and once only but he used the 3 minute miracle hair mask thing thinking it was shampoo and used about ten times what I would use and then he just rinsed it straight back off. He has really short hair too!! I went mental!! Your dog must smell lovely

Same about our phones, no reason for it I'm like that with anyone not just OH.

We have our own laptops that we bought separately but I used his for a while when mine didn't work and he did the same with mine. Although I'm the same with hitched, it's like my little space and he's not allowed to see!

We share all bills, household things. Everything is new in our house and bought together apart from our bedroom furniture which is half mine and half his from when we didn't live together.

My OH earns more and is good with sharing but I get annoyed that any money I have gets used for housey things ie new duet/pillows or I pay for a takeaway and he assumes its all 'house money'

The ony food thing he is not allowed is my pop tarts!! I buy the s'more ones from an American shop and they are my only treat ever! They are pretty expensive compared to the normal ones out a supermarket and hell eat 3 in one go!!

?

What's in my house is mine and what's in his house is his. Including certain members of his family. I knew this would end in tears....

.

Absolutely ? I always tell my OH "what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine"

We tend to share most things, with the exception of laptops, ipad etc as we each have our own.

The only thing we definitely hate sharing is the duvet ?

I'm really surprised- not thinking badly of anyone but honestly didn't realise people felt like this.

I'm wondering if it's because I haven't worked for 11 years and therefore not my 'own' income. H is very generous, so I suppose that encourages me to mirror that.

I suppose I don't like it if he uses something up without telling me - but he's welcome to use 'my' shampoo for example.

Even if he drank 'my' Mount Gay I wouldn't mind. After all I've polished off 'his' Bombay Sapphire before now ?

We share just about everything in the house, but I never get near the remote!! I love it when he's away so I get a shot. I even request that he uses my shampoo because he only ever buys cheapo stuff for him to use.

Our money motto is he earns it and I spend it - works well for us ?

My phone, kindle and iPad are mine. His laptop is his. We have a car each, and I'd not take his without asking. I wouldn't mind if he took mine, but he normally tells me when he does. Otherwise house stuff is all shared. We share food, I don't think there's anything that's mine particularly. Eg, I got a box of fancy chocs from my sister for my birthday, if he wanted to eat some that'd be fine. I'd probably be mifty if he ate them all, but I don't think he would, he's a nice boy.

I have learnt from this thread that men are shampoo stealers and treat food scoffers.

Mine does both, uses my expensive shampoo on his mop and eats 3x what I would have as one treat.

We have separate cars and most of our gadgets are separate, but only because the other has no interest, eg, kindle is mine, xbox is his. All house things are shared but bills are currently mine (?)

I am also a duvet thief and I'm not sorry.

MrMini steals my shampoo and face wash, only if its the expensive stuff though. Naughy man.

Ours is quite clean cut as I moved into his house so all of the furniture etc would be his.

If we were to split I could argue over the tumble dryer and freezer. And 2 out of 3 cats.

Technically, everything in the house is mine, H's ex wife left him with nothing, but I consider it "ours".

He earns all the money, I spend it. As with others, I get annoyed when he uses my shampoo and shower gel, mainly as It winds me up that he never tells me when he's running out so I can replace it.

See, I don't interpret any of this as connected to generosity. I'm happy to let OH take or use some of my things (apart from my toothpaste!) but I just like him to know that they are mine!! I know it doesn't make sense.

With me, having thought about it some more over the day, I think it's because I take good care of all my things, disposable or otherwise. When I was smaller, my parents would buy me and my sister things and she didn't look after her things so well, but would then try and take mine when she'd scruffed her own up. I think I worry about keeping my things 'nice'.

So I guess when I am saying 'that's mine' what I'm also saying is 'please take care of it'.
