It Doesn’t Pay To Be The Wife

April 5th,

Girl: My last guy proposed marriage but didn’t tip.  Didn’t he have a good time?

Me: Makes sense to me. You pay your whore; you don’t tip your wife.

    That’s it! If I ever get married, I’m putting a tip jar on the bedside table.

    Alisa,

    I think most husbands would welcome that! lol

    I dated a woman once who said that one of her married co-workers had an expression: ABC = anniversary, birthday and Christmas. Those being the only times she had sex with her husband. Never really made me want to get married.

    I was married for just over a year (married in 2000 divorced in 2001). I’ll be done paying for that marriage later this year.

    A husband can’t tip if there’s nothing left over.

    Out of curiosity. What is a customary tip? 20%?

    I remember a now-defunct sex blog (Twiddlybits, I think) talking about how she and her husband would put a dollar in a jar every time they had sex. In their second year of marriage they came up with enough to buy a nice pair of nightstands.

    I wonder what would be cheaper-marriage or hiring a prostitute, maid, and personal chef. Has anyone done the numbers (remember to factor in that you can break off relations with the latter without going to court!)?

    That might be true. I think it highly depends on the relationship, though- I can think of a few married people who have an excellent give/take.
