H and I have been married almost 12 years, when we were first married we were pretty equal pay wise so we pooled all our money. He lost his job a few years later and struggled to find anything, got involved in construction which is basically a well paid part-time job. I handled all the bills, we each got a set amount of cash a week to spend as we wanted. He would always blow his sometimes the day he got it and use joint account for stuff, often not giving receipts, etc.
Finally, about 6 months ago I had enough and worked out a plan. We each contribute to household expenses based on our income and then we each pay our credit card and car payment. Over the 6 months the car payment has been late twice, the credit card he just bounced the payment to last week. And this weekend he took off on a "guys weekend" with the money he had to make the car payment this time.
