It's great that you and your wife have the relationship you want. However,
I'm *very* glad that I'm able to have the relationship *I* want. I'm way
too much of a control freak to turn stuff over to my husband like that.

and I'm proud to be the one who handles the woodstove and pumps the gas. I
don't pay the bills, but only because my husband is better at the ancillary
work of budgetting than I am. I'm better at cooking, but he does the
dishes. We just divide things up according to our abilities...

Hmmm mebbe that's what you're doing to.
