I have a question to all of you with the ill-conceived notions as to what keeps us little wives/gfs happy - what is your take on what to do when the situation is reversed?
*IF* (perish the thought!

), your wife had a better work travel policy than you - would you expect her to swap to make your journey more comfortable/special/<insert platitude here>?
And really, don't get me anything for Christmas, I have everything I want because I bought it myself... and I have much better taste than you
