“Dutch” is an 18th Century insult, implying falsehood. A Dutch oven is not an oven; it’s a pot. A Dutch Treat is not treating; it’s pay for yourself. This is a holdover bit of racist shitheadery that no one worries about. But “Indian Giver” and “Indian Summer” give people heartburn, still. Maybe in another century …
Some relationships have to separate their money. My parents have been married for 43 years; they found out early on in their marriage that they have to keep money completely separate. They have their own accounts and even split the bills in half (like roommates would do). They love each other but money was causing too much drama. It’s worked for them!
