Might I ask why you have seperate accounts? Isn't marriage about sharing everything?

Yes but if you want to buy her lavish gifts she'll wonder where they money has gone.
This way you can keep it hush hush.

Both personal and joint.
I expect this is normal.

Well we have a joint account, but she retains another account into which her salary goes.
I'm not sure why this is. I assume it's so she can have an affair without me finding out - which is thoughtful of her.

Yes, although each month we put money into a "household bills" account and a mortgage account. That way, we can spend our own money without feeling guilty or having to ask permission
