Yoinks - this board got busy quick... To clarify my use of the phrase (which I was using in the generic someone-else-might-have-some-opinion-on-this way) was that if my missus installed a 6 foot high flashing nerd box in our spare bedroom then some discussion with me beforehand would be nice... I don't *need* approval - I'm a grown man - but there are other people in my life who's opinions I value as much, or even more than, people on here sometimes :-) I think everything else has pretty much been covered far more eloquently than I can put it. :cheers: |

My wife and I discuss and agree before we spend money outside of our regular monthly budget. Before she bought a piano to put in the dining room, we discussed it. Before I put an arcade cabinet in the den, we discussed it. For some of us "spousal approval" means showing respect to our partners to ensure we are not putting our own hobbies above the interests of our family. I don't know anybody in a successful partnership who just does whatever they want without input from the other party. |

Mehhhh...respect is one thing, being terrified of your wife is another. There is nothing more sad to me than a man without balls (LED or otherwise). I will mention to my wife what I plan to do and she will do the same, yes, out of respect, but to straight up ask for permission...like asking to sleep over at a friends house like when I was ten...whatever. When I was younger, in earlier relationship's, I felt controlled and scared of things that might happen if I didn't "Do what I was told", but now that I am 41, battled cancer, had a job since I was 14 and work my 44 hours a week and pay my bills...I will do what I want and just relay it to my wife, no fear here. My wife and I have separate accounts, she spends her money as she sees fit, we have the bills split evenly and in 10years of marriage, we have only fought twice (we pick at each other, but straight out yelling matches...only ever had two). I think Chance is talking about the white trash couples that argue all the time or the "C" word wife's that demean and yell at their husbands, not you fine folks :dizzy:...give him a break. |

That explanation is what merits a :dizzy: |
