Hmm...would this be considered irony? Her calling you a chauvinist pig, yet still walking into Chem 5 before you.

Anyways, to put a bit of a twist on the topic, when exactly would everyone say that certain manners stop?

For example, it is considered gentleman like for a man to pay for everything when taking a woman out on a date. But, after that man and woman have been together for so long, do you feel certain things like that to even be neccessary anymore, and if not, would it be something that you would still enjoy?

I'm talking before marriage by the way. Once a couple gets married the whole "who pays for what" thing becomes void since both people are sharing the same income.

No, that's called being a passive-aggressive puss who wants desperately to express herself but doesn't have the backbone to openly confront someone. Nothing ironic about it.

Not true. Finances are handled differently in each relationship based on how each couple views the way things should be paid and sometimes on the size of the discrepancy between the two incomes. Some go the 50/50 route, some opt for whoever makes more covers more, and then there is the classic 'what's her's is her's, what's mine is . . . her's'. I know some married people who still have a very clear deliniation of monetary holdings.

In my limited experience, I notice that those people who keep their finances separate tend to be on their second marriage. I think it gives them a (false) sense of security that should things go wrong at least their money won't get tangled up. People and money always prove for an interesting mix.

Hehe, I laughed out loud and all my co-workers came over to see what I was laughing at. We now have some conversation material for the rest of the day.

In the summer, it seems molasses would go uphill faster in the middle of winter. It doesn't get busy here until the middle of September, which kinda sucks, because you can only surf the internet for so long.
