we gotsa a joint account....

"trust" having nothing to do with "trusting" the way money is spent.

 

[Rev Den]

That's exactly what I'm saying. Her input counts but you have to be the final word.

Not sure I would want to take advice on marriage from you.

My hubby is going to be rich, he will work and bring home the bacon, I will stay at home and have lots of babies and he will give me money when I want it and he will STFU when I come home with a new $1000 purse that I will only use 3 or 4 times.
The seperate account thing definately will not work for me.

That will only work till your old and fat.

Can you say "Trophy Wife"?

[XJEEPER]

Hehehehehe...........just stumbled across this thread and wasted the last 20 minutes speed reading it. Glad my relationship with my wife is one of equality and honesty, there is the occasional need to compromise but it all seems to even itself out.
Both of us are type A personalities, so we just take turns.......and the family jewels are where they belong.
:smootch:

Know what you have and what you want BEFORE you get married, cause you'll have a tough time changing your spouse afterwards............

But it's amazing what money properly spent on cosmetic surgery can do now, and by the time Paula's old, they should be able to keep her looking hot forever

Dangit now I have to add.

If you want to talk politics:

19K is damn near poverty and I'm happy to chip a little money in for stamps. It's not like he's driving a Rolls Royce. Even in po dunk Idaho I know guys getting run down appartments and homes for the $550-$600 range and then add utilities on top of that. As far as I know there are know places on the base for families.

Back to the wife slappin!

Nobody has spoke up and talked about how one spouse or the other has to control the money because the other is irresponible with it.

thats totally predictable.

and like I've been saying the whole damn time, its because half these guys are missing thier nutsacks.

manhood destroyed.

 

[w_howey]

oh yeah... $120 is not expensive for a purse, I just spent that on a wristlet that holds a few credit cards, my ID, lip gloss, a nail file and a small compact. My cell phone won't fit.
It could be worse.

Okay, I'll wear the jagbag hat and bite.


What the hell is a 'wristlet'? I asked my wife and she wasn't sure.

Seems everyone has the answer to perfect relationship. Actually, how can anyone outside of a relationship determine what is right for others. Marriage is a relationship between two people ... if the man gives up his testicles, and chooses to, and is happy with that ... who has the right to tell him he is pathetic. Child molesters are pathetic.

If a woman chooses to stay home and raise children ... is that not being productive. People who place a higher priority on money than than raising their children ... I think that's pathetic.

Our goverment pays someone $19,000/yr to defend our country ... that's pathetic. People who work and do the best they can but still qualify and accept assistance ... that's fine. People who refuse to take a job cause the pay's not high enough, sit on their ass and draw unemployment and assistance ... that's pathetic.

People who get all riled up because someone defames someone they love, but have no regard for someone who believes and loves God (and get riled up) is a hypocrite.

Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing ...

You remember Jeff in Moab don't you? His wife gives him an allowance because if he controlled the money he would spend every dime he had on his toys. It's not that he can't spend, but it keeps him from spending the house payment. Nutsack removed.

Kristen and I have something similar to yours except maybe even more. She splits the bills so they are close to equal and what's left is our own. She is thrifty and I'm not so it usually ends up with her having more funds which I seduce from her with my charms for more jeep funds.

I do try and pay some back though. The pickup sale went into a fund for new furniture. Yes Hinkley my beautiful couch is all but gone.

Yea....but its cheaper to trade her in on a 21 year old bimbo who thinks the world rises and sets in his pants.

Here's the arrangement at my house....

I work days, she works nights and weekends

We pay the bills, buy groceries, eat out a few times, buy new stuff for the kid, and after that, we sit back and try to figure out where it all went

Is it tough?

Yes

Do I regret it?

Of course not, you locals have met Raven... Nothing else matters

p.s. This thread sucks

 

[jeeplas]

Really it is a matter of trust. Both people are adults and know that there are bills to be paid. Sean and I love to go wheelin together, and if we can afford toys for the jeep we buy them, if we can't we don't.

 

[Urban Redneck]

p.s. This thread is pathetic

Fixed it for ya

My wife controls the $$ cuz I know I would blow it all, but I follow that with, if I want something, I tell her I'm buying it. I don't go overboard but I know the limits of the disposible cash. Dispose of it all and there isn't any left for new Jeep parts, guns, ammo, etc.

I've been divorced 10 years now ... was not able to make a marriage work ... so my opinion probably is not worth much.

I really wish I knew what would make a perfect marriage. I see people who appear to have a perdect marriage, then all of a sudden they are divorced. Then I see other marriages where the husband is a drunk, treats his wife like dirt and beats her, and they stay married all their lives. Sometimes things just do not make much sense.

Sorry if my earlier post seemed a bit pointed ... but my DaD was one who let my MoM make all the decisions with money and with us kids. MoM ruled the roost ... or at least appeared to. If there was any discussion about a decision MoM made, it was behind closed doors. I only heard my DaD put his foot down once with MoM ... she never questioned him. He worked hard all his life and was a very important role model for all us boys. He treated all of us like we were the most precious thing in the world to him. He always put our wants and needs before his own. Although he would never be considered an "Alpha Male", there never was any question who the MAN of the house was ...

One very important thing he taught us was being considerate of others. It did not matter if the other was right or wrong, there was no excuse for being inconsiderate to anyone. One time I said something about my Sister having a big butt ... MoM laughed and my Sis was hurt (she cried). Later, my DaD found out and calmly pulled me off to the side and explained to me he never wanted me to do that again ... he was very serious. I never did that again to any woman!

I think if two people love each other enough to always consider their wants, needs, and feelings first ... it will go a long way in keeping them together. Old Mans wife knows when he needs to get away and meets him at the door with a fishing pole ... Beezil's wife/woman (not sure if he is married or not) knows he is an Alpha Male and needs to control certain aspects of his life, and lets him ...

Maybe it all boils down to giving and being considerate ... and love.

I´m mean as a junk yard dog, marriage is figuring out how to get along, even though men and women are most ways two different breeds of the same critter. Wouldn´t want a women, who couldn´t hold her own. raised four daughters, pretty much the same way.
Beezil, pretty sure my youngest daughter, could show you, your pair, at eye level. pretty quick. She´d have you saying yes Ma´m and No Ma´m or speaking in a high squeeky voice, jiffy quick.
Personally, I´m partial to she wolves, not lap dogs.

Damn ... I must be in too serious a mood ....

I say: "I need a woman at home ... for about an hour or two".
