Quoted from beelzeboob:I may be a pussy, but I'm a happily married pussy.
In truth, my wife is a strong woman, and I'm a strong man (emotionally...otherwise my arms are like toothpicks). But when I married my wife, I agreed to a partnership. We always talk about stuff I want to get, and if she disagrees, I just buy her something she wants to make her feel better. So sometimes pinball machines wind up costing me double.
So maybe I'm not a pussy. Maybe I'm just smart and know how to get what I want. Because what I DON'T want is to have to pay a lawyer...
I absolutely agree with your thinking, a partnership is exactly what marriage is. I don't think your situation is what I am referring to. I simply feel for the guys that have to get permission to do anything. A friend calls and invites them over for pinball and they have to ask permission. While "the wife" doesn't aver ask permission for anything. I have several divorced friends who had a wife who "ruled with an iron fist" and it quickly became a very unhappy place...constant bitching about "the wife" animosity built, neither were happy and game over.
I see you buy your wife something too.....that only fair, if you buy a pin and say now there is no money for what you want.....then that's not a very equal relationship at all. Sounds to me like you are in a good spot, being fair to your wife and treating her with respect is far from a pussy.
