One in 10 partners secretly accumulate debt via credit cards or personal loans, while 9 per cent open bank accounts or credit cards in their name only.
Money is one of the most common sources of tension in a couple. Debts, rising cost of living, lack of savings for unforeseen situations or simply differences in perspective on money can generate conflicts and can affect trust between partners. In some cases, financial problems get hidden, and this behavior is known as "financial infidelity".
