Woman discovers boyfriend hid £1800 he got from his mom, she demands they put it towards a house, he refuses: 'The money is a gift to me'

When a couple becomes serious, there should be a big shift in how each of them views their financial situation.

Like it or not, sharing your life with someone also means sharing your money, for better or worse. You are both equally responsible for rent, a mortgage, bills, utilities, and everything in between. You can find different ways to handle that financial responsibility, but you can't shy away from the fact that it is something you must do together.

When it comes to gifts, however, it gets a little bit tricky. If one of you gets a birthday gift for example, and it comes in the form of money, who does this money belong to? Is it just the birthday person, or is it also something that must be shared with the partner? How do you decide what to do with that money, and how to handle it altogether?

Well, there is no right or wrong in this scenario, but there should be complete transparency, which is something the couple in the story below failed to have.
