What this archetype looks like

In this dialect, the person with more money often has more say. The good part is that decisions can feel clear. The hard part is that the person with less money may feel smaller, controlled or always in negotiation. This pattern is often inherited from family, not chosen on purpose. What helps is naming it directly and asking whether you both still want it. Many couples can renegotiate once the pattern is visible.
