After you found out the iPad was bought with BOTH your money you should've either returned it or told her you did not want it since it was bought with joint money....if she refused for you to return it then tell her to consider it her bday gift. My husband and I have a joint account that we put money into monthly for joint bills (mortgage, utilities, insurance, groceries/house supply) we pay for these joint bills 50/50. We also have a joint savings we can chose to put X amount of dollars into monthly for emergencies or vacations, etc. But we also have our own separate checking accounts for personal usage..... I suggest you two agreeing on getting separate checking accounts if she cannot value shared money appropriately.
