I can't think of anything I would want to hold back from her. She has been my rock for 37 years.

Both of those for me. No I never "hide" information, but I don't get into specifics unless questioned. We have been married almost 28 years. We got married late in life long after each of us had houses, and our financial lives on track. I still have my bank account, she has hers. We are both co-owners of the others accounts for legal reasons, but never touch the other's accounts. We figured out an equitable way to pay the bills long ago. My name is on the title to her Macan, and hers in on my 911 title. My El Camino was purchased and paid for before we got married, and I never bothered to dig it out and add her name.
If I buy some new toy, tool, or gizmo, she can't care less. She can spend her money on what she wants. We are both savers, and the make more then we spend. She retired a couple of years ago. I work from home. We are often together 20+ hours a day.
I tell her some details of my business, like our business buying a Cessna 182T, but she is 100% not involved in it.
