wt HECK!!!hEY MYLOTTERS, This man of mine is saying that he wants to start charging me for his expertise technical knowledge. He says that whenever i have to ask him a question he is going to start charging me. Well we once had a strong marital relationship but now it's turned into us two just being money making friends or so it seems. Anyhow, do you think that it's right for your own hubby or wife to be trying to charge you money whenever they help you with something around the house? Personally speaking I just don't think it's right, but what do you think?

Ridiculous. If he gets to charge, you should charge for everything that you do! What is this, a relationship or a roommate? sheesh!

Tell me about it friend, housewives do so much for practically everyone. There is never a fee that could actually be set to repay us for everything that we do. So yeah I think he was just being ridiculous in his own sort of way. I personally wish that he'd try to find a few other games to play accept for the money game. That one tends to get a bit boring after about the first one or two jokes go around. Thanks for responding and have a great weekend!

Is he serious? If he is, what justification(s) did he use? Partners in life should not charge each other for 'services' rendered to each other. There is a possibility that his heart has wandered somewhere else. It is only a thought, because I do not know the real background of your relationship with him. Have you playfully made a suggestion to him that in return, you will start charging him for things like the food that you prepare?

Oh sure, it's just the way that we sort of play around with each other, he knows that he'd never get it out of me if he ever set a price to charge me for his services and on that same token I know full well that I could never get it out of him if I were to charge him a fee for mine. Don't worry, it's just a part of his personality and trying to be funny, hee hee! Thanks for responding.

Sounds to me like something got off track! If your "Soulmates" it seems a little ridicules, are you planning to stay together your entire lives? Then everything you do should be for that goal, and it's a common goal! May be he has other plans? tdemex

Thanks for sharing my friendbut he can have all the plans that he want to have but I guarantee you they are not going to come to pass. I got ole boy right where I want him at and we are advised to keep keep the devil under our feet so that's just what i"m going to do. I'm not gonna allow him to try to take away my happiness. I can't say that we were ever soulmates but we certainly were the best of friends at one point in time. But things have sort of gotten off track for a while but who knows, they might be getting back on track soon as he begin to see that my boat is floating in another direction. Know what I mean? Keep mylotting for bigger and bigger earnings!

Okay, this is one of the strangest things I have ever heard. I'm not an expert or anything, since I'm not married, but even I know that you can't have a long and lasting relationship if everything comes down to money. This is just absurd. I thought you were actually joking when I first read this but I guess not. All I have to say is do not go with the flow on this. It'll only get worse if you actually start giving him money for his help.

thanks for responding Saizo. It's not a joke, he would love to be able to start charging me for his expertise but he knows that he'd never be able to get it out of me. So that is just his little way of trying to play a game with me. He seems to think that money is one of my first loves. Anyhow it's just one of the ways that people find to play games with us once they start to getting up in age a little I guess. I think that some people will try anything in order to tr to keep the dullness from settling into their lives. Anyhow, he knows that I would never pay up if he tried to do me like that because there are plenty of things that I have done for him in the past that i could have charged him for and didn't. Keep mylotting and thanks for responding!
