If you live with someone and you do not know what they earn there are considerable communication and trust issues going on.

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.

How so? Btw, wtf does commination mean, is it another of your "I've got 3 degrees" made up words?

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.

Quite the admission of incompetence.

Did you know your father?

Off course he knew the milkman....

I don't know how much my wife earns. I care even less. What I earn and what she earns goes into the same pot. The bills are paid and what is left goes into savings.

What's the problem?

We really must do something about the poor.

Give them cake?

Ditto. I know ballpark what he gets ish. Not sure he has much of a clue nor cares what I get. Possibly the disinterest is afforded by the luxury of having enough money not to worry.

Me too, why do you assume otherwise?

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?

It meant, quite obviously, communication - don't deflect. Not knowing what your partner earns in a serious relationship is.....odd, at the very least.

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.

The wife is very clever, she can read something and assimilate that knowledge instantly, let's say a holiday itinerary, one scan and it is fully in memory where as I would have to refer back to it again and again. "what time was the bus at?" But if I disconnected the HDMI from the back of the TV we would be listening to the radio for a week.

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.

[SQLSwerver]

WTF does that mean?

Any your wife.

Probably that she's an extremely sly woman.

What the f\ck does "WTF" mean?
