Permission .... Why has this become such a common thing in modern day marriages? One of my mates mrs who doesnt work, frequently goes on holidays with her gfs, leaving him at home looking after the kids and having to work at the same time. Getting him out for a beer is practically impossible without it being planned months in advance, with constant validation from her that he is allowed. I love the guy but he has turned into such a simp. Each to their own, but im baffled why anyone would sign up for or accept such a life. Unless of course you got yourself a hot ass mrs that is also the breadwinner, where you dont have to work and can meet up for brunches during the days.
