[[As a woman, I guess I have the freedom to say that I don’t know how men put up with us!]]

Cuz we secretly need someone to wipe our noses when we get a cold, and to find the things in the refrigerator that are right in front of our noses, and to handle the bills, and and and-

“and to handle the bills, and and and-”

Well, part of the reason I’m getting divorced is because I turned over all the bills, and 90% of my paycheck, to the soon-to-be-ex.

This was 6 or 7 years into our marriage. She’s got business degrees, I never went to college.

Here is it, 7 or 8 years later, and one credit card (of mine) has charged off for non-payment a few years ago - she never told me about it. The mortgage on the house (titled and mortgaged in my name only) was 6 months overdue, and was in the process of being foreclosed on, which would have sucked since my cousin is the sheriff’s deputy that would have been out to the house to lock it up and remove my family and stuff. This on top of the fact that she literally does not lift a finger to do any cleaning. I did the laundry, vacuuming, etc. My dad moved in with us 5-6 years ago, and he does the cooking. He and I split the dishes, when possible. I was the kids taxi service for church, school, choir, scouts, friends sleep-over, birthday parties, etc.

So, NO, I will NEVER turn over bills to someone else again.
