[QUOTE=Darwin2000;7238695]Yeah, I hate the idea of bargaining. I was just starting to think that she might be using the stripper technique of "I'll throw out a high number just to see if they bite". Speaking of which, she's clearly a dancer. Does anyone recognize the club in the background of her pics? That might be a way to see her for less cash without being the asshole that connects and immediately lowballs her.
I wish I hadn't asked my wife to take over finances. It's tough to make $1000 disappear when someone else is doing the budget. Younger guys, don't make the same mistake I did!![/QUOTE]If you can, you most likely will have to create an account somewhere that has no ties to the both of you. Here and there you can put $20-50 away.
I couldn't imagine working as hard as I do, 6 sometimes 7 days a week and then letting your old lady do all the financials once you get your paycheck. I got a buddy who's in the same boat as you: she oversees all the bills. He has to ask her if he can spend some money if there's something he wants. His wife is probably almost 300 pounds too. No thanks.
