Wife's money is her money. My money is ours

[Chase]

Wedding is a commitment of two persons but finances are usually not managed on equal footings. Many men pay for most items in the household while their wives keep a secret slash under the bed. Officially, it is like a reserve for rainy days, and I know they are probably well-intended.

For myself, I screwed up my investments in most part of my life. Lately, when I asked her to give me some of these savings to buy some shares during the recent meltdown, she wept. For years, I generously wipe out my own money for household expenses and naively think that my wife is different from other women; my money was hers, and her money was also mine.

I didn't expect her to cry. While she teared, I was quite sure that I was the sadder soul. Truly disheartened but not angry with her. Like a gambler who asked home for money to recoup his losses, it also says a lot about how my wife thinks about me.

I know, just like many other couples.

I am sorry to hear of your current plight. So biggest lesson learnt here: don't get married. Its better to stay single.

marry a rich man's daughter or high earning girl as wife .... she wont be bothered with your earnings and will contribute the family more with her spare cash.

Don't worry! It's worth it.

And your mistress is her sister

It's a business arrangement under contract law. And governed by laws that are rigged against the one with a penis.

It's a scam and a trap, stay far away.

By the way, the Fort Canning Hill ROM has been closed for renovation, new temporary location is the Esplanade Mall.
