I'm probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to comments like SWMBO, or "her indoors", but I use it just for comic effect, as I suspect many others may do. Truth is, all decisions are arrived at by mutual consent, things such as holidays, décor, furniture and cars. Although things that Anita knows mean more to me, like hifi and music purchases I pretty much get free rein on, finances permitting.
I know there'll be some relationships where the hubby "brings home the bacon" while the little lady stays at home and keeps the place nice. And she is given an allowance to pay for food and kid's clothes etc. This is how Anita's previous dickhead did things. Then there will be couples where the hubby hands over his wages and gets some spending money. Neither of these arrangements would work for us. We pool our incomes and everything comes from that "pot".
The comments I post about Mrs. P should be taken with a pinch of salt. The reality is that we are two possibly slightly broken individuals who combine to make one reasonably well functioning machine. We are a team, and through love and mutual respect we get by pretty well.
I have no right to impose my will on Anita, and I know she feels the same about me
