Because at the end of the day my wife is going to suck my dick, not yu suzuki. I'm not asking for permission as much as letting her know whats going on so she doesn't see a mysterious 500 charge and decide to call the bank and freeze the account.
Talking to your spouse is Relationship 101
don't have to tell me that. it's just that people here are actually asking PERMISSION to spend x amount of money. that seems ridiculous to me. unless she is making the money and you don't make any money. but then I would feel way to embarrassed to ask for money.
and about sucking my dick. lol in the real world it's the wife who wants more sex than the man. not that I would ever use it as leverage but again in what world do people live in where the wife doesn't want sex...
If you have a family and you're not really drowning in money then you usually talk about spending money. Gonna tell you a secret - I did not ask my wife for permission. But if i would have bought the 500 Dollar package and she found out I'd have a hard time explaining why we buy the cheapest diapers and spend 500 Dollars on a video game that she won't play anyways.
Also in a "good" family you don't argue like "I'm the man, i earn the money, period". My wife is "just" a house wife, but i think that is sometimes harder than my "well earning job", if you don't honor that then you just are simply a terrible husband and selfish person imho. With a girlfriend it's a whole different world, can't really compare that to a family with kids, mortgages, loans and stuff where you can't spend all your money just for your personal pleasure...
why isn't your wife working then? being a housewife is the easiest job in the world. unless you make a ton of money I don't see why not both of you should be working. it's better for you to work 20 hours and her so you do both of you the house, kids and job. but honestly people still seem so stuck in old things. especially woman. my girlfriend for instance has a very good job but I work myself because I don't want to be dependant on her. so again how your wife can coop with that is beyond me
Why don't you stay out of other people's lives and keep on topic?
because I'm a curious person, interested how other people seem to think and life. that's why we are on earth anyway, gathering information.
