Better The Devil You Know?

Some interviewees have said that in their long marriages there has been an unfair distribution of money through the years between husband and wife but that they have decided to live with it.

Typical phrases used were “Because I don’t think this is the time of life to have major disagreements”, “Better the Devil you know” or it “Causes too much stress” seemed to sum up the dilemma.

Is this something that all couples do or is it peculiar to people married for a long time?Do we learn to live with unfairness just to keep the peace when we think the relationship is more important than the distribution of money?
