This is one of the reasons I'm glad that Texas is a "community property" state. You can try to keep separate finances all you want, but at the end of the day, if you're married, everything belongs to everyone. Heck, even if you're not married--my parents never were, but they still needed a lengthy divorce proceeding because they had lived together long enough to be considered common-law married.
