Me and the wife were at dinner with some friends and my wife asked if she could get a diet coke. I told her not tonight. Well, my friend's wife who must be some feminist started to question me on it. I told her it was because I didn't want her to have all that sugar tonight and I had already let her get a two liter the week before at the store. She was saying I should let her get whatever she wanted. I just ignored her and changed the subject. What a crazy broad, right? I mean a guy has to protect his woman and that is why I have all the debit cards and checks and I'll give her cash if she really needs to get some things like useful groceries or gas money. Men have to look out for there women or else they can overspend and harm their own bodies.

There ARE women who overspend. I can't know if yours is one of them. You are going to get ripped by women who read your statement after the question.
FOR YOUR INFO, diet coke does NOT have sugar.
It is good that you are looking out for your wife but you need to examine if you are protecting her or lording over her.
If she truly cannot control her spending then at least allow her some money for personal issues. An amount every month that the two of you can agree on. You mention gas money so that tells me you at least trust her to go out on her own. That is a positive thing.
I don't let my wife order diet soda but it is a health issue because it has been suspected as causing memory problems in diabetics who drink it frequently.
As far as the crazy woman, I would have told her that it would be better if she expressed her opinion to me privately rather than in front of my wife., That makes her appear to be interfering between a husband and wife.
Ladies take a note. If a man who is with your group does something you don't like regarding his wife and you correct him in front of the group, you will appear to be an interfering wench. You should wait to tell him off later or talk to the wife in private.

What century are we in? 2006, right?
Oh, ok.... for a moment I thought we were in the 19th century. Take is so barbaric and sexist of you. You may be married, but you don't own a human. Your wife is not your property. You have all the checks and money --I laugh at that. Your wife should be able to get whatever she wants. A coke should be the least of your worries....you cheap skate. Who cares if she had a liter the week before. It was the WEEK before!(7 whole days.) She is not messing up her body by asking for a diet coke.
F.Y.I= Diet coke has sacchrine in it, and our bodies cannot digest sacchrine. It is a substitute for sugar and doesn't harm nor help.
Take your diet coke and shove it!

Firstly why would your women HAVE to ask you if she could have for a bloody drink of her choice? It sounds like you are trying to be her father ..that gives an allowance , tells her what she should and should not have, what you feel she needs...buddy she needs a husband not a control freak who would embarrasses her in front of her friends by not letting her have a stupid diet coke......as your wife's friend if my friend's husband was that controling over a coke I would certainly think the issues of you controling her would go way beyond a drink
you are not protecting.....if you are the protective type as say you would have protected her feelings ........instead of embarrassing her in front of her friends....an basically treating her like a child and completly incompetant..... piece of **** really is the best description
Do you lock the doors from the outside at night too incase she tries running away?
You got issues bud Contol freak/ rainbow bright weirdo LOL

Dude... lets take a step back and think about what we're talking about... A DIET COKE! if you deny your wife the small pleasures in life you're an asshole! Do you have to ask her permission to do anything, or do you just do whatever the hell you want? why do you have to control your wife do much? She's an intelligent adult that can make decisions, so why is it your responsibility to decide what she can and can't have? Just think if someone had such tight control over you, how you'd feel. I can't believe there are still men like you. the saying isn't wives submit to yoru husbands... it goes further to that to say husbands submit to your wives. you need to have a mutally respectful relationship where you give her love respect and trust so that she can turn around and give it back to you... i'm a conservative woman who believes the man should be the head of the household, but I also believe the my husband needs to trust me. you're overbearing and controlling. this is not a healthy relationship, and i think you're a jackass.

Your are an arrogant as*hole.. Why is this not an EQUAL relationship? Because you are a man? NO you are not, you are the type of person that has to CONTROL everything and I think your wife is stupid for putting up with your sh*t, you are so lucky I don't know you I would love to tell you off to your iGNORANT face. Be a REAL MAN and stop telling your wife who is supposed to be an EQUAL in the relationship and treat her with some RESPECT, or go back under the rock you came from. The world does not need more boys like you in this world.. Do you get to tell her when to take a sh*t too/ I mean come on a diet coke, for god's sake you pi** me off I could go on and on telling you where to stick your IGNORANT attitude... RIGHT UP YOUR LOSER A**

Sorry to mention this however it is a natural results of getting greater than two folks within the bed room. I realize this from enjoy... and from looking a couple of peers of mine in an identical circumstances. My advice is to NEVER invite any person into your marriage or commited courting! If matters are not critical then by means of all manner have a laugh however assume matters on the whole are not going to move the way you feel. For the married folks available in the market who think they MUST delve into sharing... longer term on no account turns out to paintings for all events so hold it quick. Since you will have already delved into this concern... I might permit your spouse realize that you simply are not secure with the concern now. That her courting with this different guy is now a courting no longer only a sexual fling. The indisputable fact that she is relocating into unprotected intercourse... (and you'll be able to get pregnant at the tablet to not point out STD's and you do not know who else he's dozing with or if he is being monogamous together with your spouse...) is a signal that matters have become extra concerned than I'm certain you expected whilst this all began. Your exceptional wager is to invite her to finish it now and notice what she says... a minimum of then you can realize in which matters stand and for those who select to try this once more you can be extra mindful of the traps that may creep into the concern.

Yes!!!!!! She's wife not your child. She can drink what she wants when she wants. Why was it a diet coke anyway? Do you think she is too fat also. Why you are at it let her have the debit card and the check book. Believe it or not most women are better at balance the bank account then we are. You should get some help for your insecurity's

This is a joke right? 1st of all diet coke does not have sugar...2nd and most important is she over 12? If so she should be able to drink whatever she wants at dinner. And the cash thing and credit cards... you need to see a shrink and so does she if she allows you to treat her like a little girl. If what you say is true... your probably an abuser or will be unless you get help.

Are you kidding me? She is a adult, she can & should make her own decisions! Your the husband not the father of a little girl! Go out and buy her a bottle of soda!
Why can't your wife have the debit card and checks, and money when she wants it? You don't have to ask her for money, or what you are allowed to drink! THIS IS THE YEAR 2006, buddy!
You are controlling your wife. And if you love her so much why are you controlling her? One day she'll wise up and leave you, if you don't change.

There are things to be protective of and then there are things that are just petty...a diet coke at a meal is harmless, unless she's a diabetic or has some other extreme health condition that is worsened by sugary foods. She's a grown woman, she's allowed to decide what she can drink...it doesn't take a crazy feminist to come up with that concept.
