AITA for moving my paycheck into a separate account after my partner kept “accidentally” overdrawing our joint one?

Arguments start to follow the same script. You bring up boundaries she hears judgment. You mention the overdrafts she hears you are treating her like a kid. You ask why her personal account is tight and she says it is none of your business even though she keeps treating the joint one like a magic money bin. Every time you try to protect the system you agreed to she acts like you are the one who changed the rules.

That is when boundaries become less negotiable. Redirecting your paycheck to your own account setting up automatic transfers and locking the joint card away is not a breakup stunt it is a sanity maneuver. If the biggest shock is the fact that you will not keep financing casual decisions that were never part of the agreement maybe the real problem is not the money. Maybe it is the expectation that someone should be okay watching their safety net turn into a sofa for other people’s whims..
