Same. We discuss finances, but my SO does the shopping. Basically, “hey, I spent $X on Y, is that okay?”, and then “sure” or “that’s a bit much, can you cut it a bit? Our cash is a bit low right now…”.
It works well. We spend time together doing things we both like, and don’t force the other to spend time doing things we don’t.
I gave up going shopping with partners ages ago.
I don’t go with them, they don’t come with me.
It’s better that way.
