    That would only be the case if the information was withheld. I don't even know how much I earn - because my wife does the books. Of course, I could find out by checking bank statements or running a P&L report on the accounts software.

    Just asking, like.

    commination: the action of threatening divine vengeance. That will be autocorrect then.

    Anyways, if you don't know how much your beautiful wife earns then there is something with your relationship.

    Your post, rather deliberately for the sake of confrontation I suspect, implied you had no idea whatsoever what your wife earned. You must have some idea, surely?

    I mean, don't get me wrong I couldn't quote my wife's take home, but I could get it if we needed to budget something.

    Oh, that's it, you're being a twat. Good luck with your new career. Practice makes perfect.

    If she was "that" clever she wouldn't be in a relationship with you. Unless of course you're a hobby, you're someone who keeps her entertained with his foolish japes.
