Simple if the missus doesn't contribute to the household budget then
laters.
The Wife chips in with her amount but i have always made it clear if so much goes to other things than the household the same for me.
So she can carry on sending money home as it allows me to get me season ticket with no moans.
But our household comes first if we can't support ourselves we can't support others.
If the Wife wants to be treated like an equal in the marriage then we share everything.
Cant stand it when i see older Career women expecting a seat on the tube when they are fully fit. If you want to be treated like a weak helpless discrimated agaisnt woman then give up your job, indepence and vote then i will treat you as they did in the old days i.e give up my seat and open doors, untill you do if i get the seat first tough.
If you want to be a 21st century woman with equal rights then you have to be treated as an equal that means giving and sharing as well as recieving the rights.
Need to be firm with Remittance otherwise if you don't you become weak and will never hear the end of it.
Maybe other couples have arrangements and really the Wife is over as a domestic servant, cook and prositute but in our case we are two equals who bumped into one another on yahoo.
