Man of the house

As we approach our third month of marriage, I have finally "taught" Becky who is in charge of the house. Becky has claimed that its "our" house, but no more I say! Putting my foot down, I have reasserted my claim as man of the house. She has all these false claims to things that she says is "ours"..... when I was single, I NEVER used the word "our" in front of anything to discribe it. She uses it like an adjective! She must think its a game, try using "our" in front of everything. Take my saturn, its now "our" Saturn.... or my checking account.... it's now "our" checking account. Shes been using it on everthing! "Our" new stove, "our" christmas tree, "our" chocolate, "our" bills, and even "our" house!

Thats where I finally say enough is enough. I signed the purchase thing, and I was there to do most of the boring paper work. MY money went into the house before the marriage, now MY money geos into "our account." Its a clever smoke screen, but I have finally seen the way.... I need to reassert what is mine in the house. Now Oh sure, I did pick up that pile of clothes in the corner of "our" room that was driving her crazy.... but IT WAS ME THAT decided to do it! Oh sure I did take out the trash that was getting full, but I did it on MY TIME. I even did the full sink of dishes that she wanted me to do.... but as Frank Sinatra said it best, "I did it MY way!" Notice how I refer to the chores not as "our" chores, but as "my" chores..... maybe if I refer to the house as "my" that I can get rid of this "our" that appears everywhere.
