My wife an I are partners. Neither of us are in the dominant/submissive role in our marriage. Both of us enjoy the fruits of our labors. Doesn't matter who is making the money, who is making the majority of the money, or who is spending it. So long as it is available and surplus to our needs we can budget a purchase. But that is just what that means, we make the decision together and put it in the budget knowing when and how it will be spent.

Seems to work pretty well for the two of us, we are coming up on our 12 year anniversary at the end of June. And we're still happy together. I like it that way too.

However, I am having a diificult time - at the moment - getting her to understand that I really need another P-car so when I need to work on this one I can drive the other. She said, use mine or buy a cheap $1500 Honda or something.
