hello ilaine, i like to shop for bargains, but with the boyz, not with wife, and i do not want my wife to shop at all, bargains or no. that is why i say the stuff i said, because i am politically incorrect
i also do not want wife to have the remote control to tv, drive my car, use my computer, rummage through my deposit box, borrow my cell phone, or eat my portion of the dessert
i am however willing to have her do our laundry, cook our meals, wash my car, earn income for the common good, and prepare the bits of finger foods for our parties - none of which she does
the typical hk marriage union is standard in some sense: wife's balance sheet and income is her's, and husband's income and balance sheet is joint - where is the fairness in that !
so when wife says shop for bargains, it means with my my my reserves, and once property is registered, it becomes 'our' property, which, given its visibility, eventually becomes part of her balance sheet - the process is menacing, and must always be nipped in the bud, and then stumped on |
