The Joint:Expense account is a good idea to be precise (as you stated).
But otherwise I am not sure it will work.
Since I do not manage her ledger, I am not forced to have real
representation of her account, so it will work for her expense (updating my
last exemple):
2013/10/11 Some shop 2
Joint:Expenses:food 200€
Assets:She -100€ ; not her real account, so I can
remove only half of what she payed
Liabilities:She -100€ ; I own her the rest.
But when it come to the joint expenses I do, I can not do this anymore,
because all of my transaction generate an implicit liability transaction
that break the representation of the joint account:
2013/10/10 Some shop
Joint:Expenses:food 50€ ; only half of the joint expenses,
not representing the real joint expenses
Liabilities:She 50€ ; the rest goes to the
liabilities
Assets:My:Personnal:Account ; money goes fully out of my account
I hope it is clear, and I hope I correctly understood what you meant !

Indeed, this may be the best solution, but for various human reason it is
not planned ;)

This may indeed be the solution, I am going to read a little more about
them, and try to play with them !
