Your memory must be really bad then! I don't forget to buy food and pay the
bills and I'm a single guy that usually jokes that I have "Ronald Reagan memory".
(In reference to his famous "I forget" during the Iran/Contra hearings...not his
later years...)

If it's money that YOU earned, you should be able to do what you want with it.
Your mistake was signing that marriage contract, which is really just a financial arrangement. It has nothing to do with love.

A marriage license is the equivalent of a 401k. It comes with some tax advantages, but huge penalties if you ever want out.
Love is treating the person well enough that they'll WANT to stay together, rather than having the union enforced by the state.

Marriage is a commitment.
Where does it say you are supposed to enjoy it?

Thonged hit the nail on the head. I honor my commitments, even if they were stupid to make in the first place.
Marriage changes women, and not always for the better. I still love the girl I married, even if the woman she grew into resembles a DMV clerk more than a great business partner.
If she wasn't guaranteed half the fruits of my labor, watching her sit on her ass while I strive to get ahead wouldn't bother me so much.
