You should consider opening a new bank account all on your own, take out your half (or share) of the joint account, and when you break with her, hand her the checkbook, tell her you took yours and the rest is hers. You should not be sharing finances with someone not your spouse. Be fair and open how you divided up the money.
EDITED: reread your post that it's your bank account. So write her a check for anything that she doesn't owe you. Tell her how you arrived at the number.
Most important, Get Out.

Yeah seperate the finances now even if you decide to stay. Everyone should have their own account and finances. A joint account with a spouse is a good idea but still keep seperate ones. No joint credit cards though it doesn't really matter if your married unless you get a prenup stating so. I will not get married without a prenup now. I have too much to lose, before I didn't have one but seperation of property was easy. Don't get petty over a few $100 or even a few $1000 dollars, its not worth it.

Good Lord what a tool! Dad's paying for almost everything so you justify buying toys instead of paying your own way and you complain about your girlfriend complaining about you wasting your money?

I say to your girlfriend, RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!

Word, quit being a little bitch and living off Daddy. I assume you are in college, either transfer to a real one where you can live at, and go live in a dorm, or get a real job so you can pay your own rent. If all you are doing is spending all Daddy's money on your toys, I don't blame her. She's porbably wondering what kind of life a spoiled little bitch will be able to provide for her.

i think i'm in the opposite boat... i sold the beater project car... will p'bly sell the motorcycle this spring (even tho she was fully supportive of me getting the bike/gear/even bought me a jacket, etc.)...

what good are the toys you can't SHARE it w/ someone. so i bought the S2000 instead. she loves the convertible, drives stick well...

women are needy animals. they will never allow your toys to compete with them (unless you get a chic who rides, dig sports, likes fly fishing??? ad nauseam). instead of buying an Xbox360/PSP, i got a projector, on which we now BOTH watch movies together...

Listen, Read the entire thread before posting garbage like that.

Shes not mad about Dad paying for stuff.. and I never said that I wasted money.

Shes not concerned about me wasting money either... I dont waste money to begin with.

So before you come in here like an Asshole about it, read what the hell I wrote and quit bitching about off subject shit.

I asked for some advice, not for you to come in here and bitch about your troubles paying the bills.

I'm giving you free insight, man. If you are the kind of guy who thinks it's good or cool that at age 18, you can have Daddy buy you a new $30k, motorcycle, 4-wheeler, pay for your apartment, etc, it gives me something of an image of how you live the rest of your life, and your attitude in general. Words like "spoiled," "little" and "bitch" come to mind. My suggestion still stands: nut up, be a man and pay for your own shit, and quit crying on the internet like a little boy about fights with your girlfriend. Once you start acting like a man, she'll probably understand why you want a little "man time" with your toys. Unless she's as spoiled as you are, which, if she is cool with living in an apartment your Dad pays for and having your dad pay for her schooling, might be the case.

And by the way, I have no problems paying my own bills. I don't have all the toys you do, but I pay for my own shit, and anyone who does the same respects that.
