Great idea for a book!
Married woman: "What's mine is mine and what's his is mine."
There was a good photo on here about a week ago - forgotten which thread - it had two girls walking past some poor guy looking down a drain and one girl is saying "Stop oppressing me". Something on that theme would make a good book cover.
The number one reason I don't want to get married is because I saw this dynamic in my own parents. My Dad was making maybe 90k, and my mom was making 50k, and after the separation she bitched that he (despite paying the mortgage and all the bills) never helped her out financially.
'My money is my money, but your money is our money.'
Really, what kind of shit is that?
That's similar to my parents. They split amicably, although he would have stayed together if he had a choice. That was 10 years ago, and even now, if he buys a new car he says "Don't tell your Mum".
