I don't hide things from my wife; but I'm not exactly upfront about what they cost, either. She knows and blessed my desktop headphone system ... she doesn't have any idea what it cost. I can afford it, the bills are paid, I kept my last stereo 20+ years. I just don't feel like it's something I need to justify.
Joint accounts never worked for us. Our accounting methods are totally, absolutely incompatible. We split up the bills. I pay the mortgage which pretty much equalizes our incomes. She pays the phone bill, so that I can't whine about the 2-3 hour long distance calls to her sisters. The rest are pretty much 50/50.
