What do you do Billy Hayes?

[Dayvo]

I don't get it: a couple with two incomes.

They pay joint bills and costs.
His remaining money is his.
Her remaining money is hers.

WTF is the problem?

 

[snorri]

What, again!!!???

I DIDN'T SAY AGAIN, DID I?

WTF is the problem?

The problem is, you are taking this thread too seriously.

Given that this is a light-hearted thread - no problem atall.

If this was a serious thread and a serious question - the problem is the difference between being two people who happen to share certain things for convenience, and being in a committed relationship.

 

[Dayvo]

OK - a LARGE chill pill for MOI!

 

[Milo]

Sorry, I've been caught out on this forum before by assuming something was a serious comment when it was in fact a spoof, so please just reassure me - this is a spoof, isn't it?

?? No what Dayvo said.

I take it you are on about my great grandfather William Henry Hayes.
P.S. He was a gentleman's gentleman before he married my great grandmother

I stroll in proudly with my new purchases, be the cycling related. Or expensive electrical items for my studio.

No one to argue with. Life rules. I have awesome stuff and none of the guilt

 

[Dayvo]

I must be younger than you, I had to Google

I had to Google Billy Hayes, sorry.

I DIDN'T SAY AGAIN, DID I?

I beg to differ!

 

[snorri]

I beg to differ!

I'll see you outside

 

[snorri]

Woops, forgot the smiley

If I buy anything for my bike, I have to buy two of them as the enemy will want one for her bike too.

But when it comes to buying stuff for me drums, then it's all a bit Secret Squirrel, with a machine gun cane, with a rattatattatat....

It's how it works in my household..

I always feel guilty as sin even when I've got nothing to declare at an airport, so there's no way I'd even contemplate getting anything into our home without going through the proper channel.

As far as I remember from my pre-spinster pre-mad cat lady days problems arise when there's disagreement about joint purchases.
Example: you might be happy cooking on a camping stove, she wants an Aga
In my case it was cars: my late partner always wanted more car than I could afford, earning less than him.
