This thread is making me rolmfao, and I like how Mr. Lawson linked to his thread, that's the first thing I thought when I saw this! ;D
The way I see it, is very simple. Before you can be your wife's "Man" (or anyone's "Man" for that matter) you must first be your own, "Man". So. If you work, you bring home cheese, then you
should do have the right to do what you will with it. However, like Daguin Said, this is NOT the place to come for marital advice. So don't listen to me. Because like all relationships, mirage especially, there are many compromises needed on BOTH parties to make it functional, and successful. Otherwise, if every freaken thing becomes a war/battle/debate/argument/discussion, then there's obviously control issues at hand. You cannot have 2 hardrives hooked up to the same IDE without having one set to slave and the other the master. That doesn't mean that one supercedes necessarily, as they both work pretty evenly. But like two magnets, one must pull as the other pushes to coexist, otherwise you'll repel. So, sacrifice your wish for a greater good, compromise and get what you wish, or just do it and deal with the repercussions later. It's all up to you. "Pick your battles."
