You share your feelings, your fears, your goals, and on a more physical level, you might share clothes, food, possibly a living space, and so much more.
It's only fair to assume that your significant other knows some intimate details about your life.

But sometimes when it comes to financial situations, people can get uncomfortable and weird which could lead to some issues in the relationship.
