No issues, do that all the time.

Last night I actually took the evening off and went into the big city to meet some friends.

Also, last year I set up a system where I pull a small amount of money out of the general family fund each month and put into a separate bank accounts for each myself and my W. This is then "mad money" - use it for whatever you want - and neither of us have to feel guilty for spending whatever is there on ourselves.


The thought I was referring to are actually more along the lines of :

"I need ______ from her"

"I need her to _______"

"I deserve ________ from her"

I don't NEED anything that I can't take care of myself.
