My wife is excellent at paying the bills too. I never handle any of the money or finances. I found when 2 people get involved, it can cause stress in a relationship. I never ask how much money my checks are, or how much I make, or can we afford? I figure she'll tell me.
The only remark I made to my wife about money years ago was,
Honey, please let me know if there ever gets to be a time when I can not draw out 400 dollars a day in an atm for a week so I know to slow down on my habbits and ease up...well
I hid out from work from oct 1st to dec. Then they caught me. But during thanksgiving, my wife pulled me over to the side and said, Alan, you remember the remark you made a few years back about the 400 a day for a week? I said yes, she says....You are officially notified. I said...Savings. She says don't even think about playing with that. So now I gotta work a couple days a week, but the travel turns it into 5 days...it sucks.
But I do have a wonderful trusting relationship with my wife. It's good to know that other members here have help with their wives and family. The bonding is always long lasting
