I wonder that as well, I have my money she has hers. We both pay into a joint acc, and that then spreads it about. What either of us do with our own money is neither here nor there
I tried that with my ex-wife, who at the time earned at least twice what I did (I never did find out exactly...). Every month she'd empty the joint account, usually claiming she'd spent her 'own' money on x, y or z for the house or kids and was 'claiming it back'. So I'd have to top up the joint acccount, which she'd then empty...
I did hear a year or two back that she'd been up in Court for embezzlement (I kid you not) to the tune of 10 grand... from a charity she was manager of so I guess she'd perfected the technique on me a decade earlier.
Bloody annoyingly, she was prosecuted in her former married name, which she hadn't changed, so now it looks like my family has crooks in it. No doubt if she ever goes for another managerial job she'll apply in her maiden name so the employer won't find anything in a CRB check...
On the bright side, six years after we'd separated, my current g/f talked me into getting a divorce... otherwise the 10 grand could have been my liability!
