Why? (1/22/2010)

Seems to me that a wife has more say-so and authority then a husband.

Why?

In my only marital experience, with very few exceptions, a husband is not authorized to make decisions - even simple ones.

Why?

Instead, I can only propose decisions. Plus like on Jeopardy, I must state my recommended decision in the form of a question.

Why?

Example: I can not say, W, I’m going to grocery shop at Sam’s today. Instead, I have to say: W, is it okay for me to grocery shop at Sam’s today?

Why?

Many times, DW will say, okay hun, that’s fine. Some of the time she’ll say, you don’t need to go today - do the grocery shopping some other time.

Why?

Even the decision to go to bed has to be in the form of a question, i.e.: Dwal’n, is it okay for me to go to bed?

Why?

There are a few exceptions. One of ‘em goes like this -- Bay-beee, I’m going to: mop the kitchen floor, vacuum the family room, dust our bed room furniture, wash your car, take out the trash, give the dog a bath and then cook dinner. I have unrestricted authority to make this type of decision.

Why?

Until 1977 BD (Before Devil), I made decisions without challenge. The tween years were iffy, however, since 1981 AS (After She-Devil) - but for a few exceptions, I can only recommend decisions.
