No. I just go to the suggestions forum and click on his thread about the ignore feature.

Today is one month since he left. Maybe he'll April Fool us.

Wouldn't know. There are very few places south of the 45th parallel that my wife or I like to vacation to repeatedly. Bay area is about the only one.

I would say compromise is the key. Last year my wife conceded to staying in Slovakia a week longer than she wanted and I saw that my inlaws were getting on her tits, and it sucked because I lack the language skills to tell anyone but her brother to back off of her and let her enjoy her vacation. Thus I promised her this year we'd do more towards her comfort zone in time spent there and activities.

Thus, our Vegas trip this summer is going to be a bit shorter and focused more on the shows she wants to see--since it will be her first time in Vegas. Later on my inlaws are planning to visit and I made it 100% clear with my brother in law that while we have no problem showing them what they want to see (Oregon vortex, etc.) that they're in our turf now and they're not allowed to get on her tits about minutae--I'm American and they will bow to my superior bastardry.

She stayed a week longer? A WEEK ? You owe her man, that read like fucking hell to me. That is much more than compromise on her part lmfao.

I don't think that comes into play. I dunno how everyone else does there finanaces but I would assume like me and the wife theres no your money her money its all our money

My wife and I don't do it like that. Since we both work we basically split the bills, and then after that any money we make belongs to whomever earned it. That way there's never a question about who's luxury purchase comes first. Once she pays for her bills she can do whatever the smeg she wants with her hard-earned cash, as ditto with me. It leads to a lot less arguments. We usually only raid any joint savings accounts if there's something major we need/want.

She, like me, is not *that* close to our respective famiies. I don't know if you know people who have families that, once the kids become an adult they need to keep them at an arm's length because, while they're not bad people, they could be meddlesome. Unlike me though, she doesn't have a healthy level of disrepsect for her family and won't tell them to smeg off when they get on her case. Unfortunately (or rather fortunately) my command of Slovak is not that great just yet, so I've only been able to tell her bro off a couple of times--since he's fluent in english.

That and she got really sick of fielding the question from her relatives: "When are got going to give us a baby?" At least on my side of the family, my relatives know better than to ask me that.

Besdies, the fact that we're going to Vegas this year makes up for it. She's never been and wants to experience it, ya know?

We do cash envelopes for everything outside of bills. So we both have spending money each week. So we can spend on what we want without guilt. Other than that, it's all our money not split.

This has worked 35 years for us. People tell us that we have the best marriage they have ever seen. Never argue about money or anything else.

Wife and I had a joint checking account before we were married and owned property. Our ability to save and invest became so easy. Shared goals and shared vision.

there have been times ive made 6g's inna week and there have been times ive made only 200 bucks but there has never been a time when I or my wife have taken all the money she brings in and the money I brought in and said hey this money is yours that money is mine. she is my wife I am her husband we are one and in this shit together.

our finances are as intertwined as our lives are and I or she wouldn't have it any otherway

 

[RacerX]

Technically true but I'm just talking common sense here. If the husband is the bread winner, he should be the ultimate decision maker when it comes to family vacations. That's how my dad did it and my mom was just appreciate to go somewhere on a trip. I think it's pretty crappy if the husband has the 8 to 5 and then the wife is bitching about how she doesn't like his idea of a vacation. I don't get that.

LOL, yeah, perfect recipe for a balanced and equal household. You need to space-travel-drive that DeLorean back to 1950.

My wife has not worked since we married, and I prefer it that way. She's fit, house is clean, and she's happy which is one of the reasons I am the only one in my group of inner-circle boys that's still with wife #1.

I like your style.

 

[Novak]

My wife works. If she didnt, we'd go broke. If I made enough money where I could support the type of lifestyle that we're accustomed to, she wouldn't work another day in her life. Hopefully soon.

 

[LordKOTL]

The time my wife didn't work she was going stir-crazy. She hated not having her own cash-flow. To each their own, I guess. I think we just both grew up sick of having someone else in charge, screwing things up, and us having to take the fallout. There's no way she could be a "housewife" and there' no way I'd want one, either.

I guess we're both definitely not old-fashioned. I can see the good in having everything joint, but I've also seen the bad--where one part of the pair busts their ass making some extra money and the other squanders it on themselves as opposed to something they both enjoy--or even allowing a fraction for the one who busted their ass for it.
