When your significant other likes a "different" tree of yours than you do....

The only couple I know that do this seriously is Victrina and Eric. I miss them...

This is how the neighbour worked it out --------

They had a maid.

He gave her an account for the house and a separate account for her.
He paid the maid.

When they went abroad, he gave her money for spending.

No joint account.

They are still together, happily --------- 55 years.

Aint luv a many splendid thing.

I'm guessing he is the only income maker and she doesnt have a job?

Both my husband and I have jobs. After our combined and personal bills as well as investments for savings/retirement are taken care of, his money is his and mine is mine since we each work for it.

Do you have any sisters?

That doesn't work.
When a friend met my Cindy, he asked if she had any sisters.
I told him sure.... but she lives in Canada and is mean as a snake.

He was crestfallen.

I love instances where I can use "crestfallen."

Very similar here. We provide financial input based on hours work. So we pay into a shared account based on eachothers income level. From that we pay all the generic bills. Personal things (Bonsai stuff, horsey stuff) we pay from our own accounts. Works well; Basically we never argue about money and spendings.

Man, I've been living wrong. All the money my wife makes is hers, all the money I make is ours. Plus, I pay every single bill. She's living the good life!

That's how we do it. I think it works out very well.

My fiance is very supportive of my hobby, and she even has her favorites. The only time she gets mad is when she wakes up at 4AM and I'm doing this........yeah,I got an ear full

Oh, dishwasher things... I have to wait till my wife is breathing very noisy in night to do this. If no I can hear loudly why her teenage sons get acne! Sleepless nights...

This is what I call being caught in flagranti.

But YOU have the trees, so you WIN!

 

[vicn]

Dont laugh, but guess who had the duty to go out and pee in the yard to convince the dog that he is supposed to pee out there and not on the carpet.
(Hint: it wasnt me)

Wow.....I hope you didn't have an issue with the dog pooping

That's the price you get to pay for being right all the time!

When people come on a garden tour, it's pretty common for many to fall in love with some crappy tree of mine and walk past and ignore one that is spectacular. You never know what catches someones eye. As far as my wife, I could buy an amazing tree and she would never notice. Bring home a shiny watering can or garden bell and she spots it the first time in the driveway. Lesson... buy more tree, buy less shiny decorations.

Do you agree with them?



Or are you stupid?

Mine does not like any of them. She says she would much rather look at a bucket of sand from the beach.

 

[Random Usr]

Do you agree with them?

Politics, religion, bonsai. My wife has no interest in any of them. Bliss. I suggest you find another woman.
