Excellent post. Thank you for this.
I am “old fashioned” and think I was born at the wrong time. :-/
I said it once, I’ll say it again...when you are getting married you are doing time. You can’t go nowhere without asking permission from her—even though she has no problem getting together with the “girls” without asking permission from you—you can’t buy anything—even though she’ll have no problem spending “our” money on stuff that you really don’t need-(like $3000 vacuum cleaners)-my God man, you can’t even wear stuff that you want to wear..
