OK, someone's gotta throw this out there...in these days of supposed equality, isn't that a tad sexist and old-fashioned? What gives your partner more right to be there than you? I can understand offering to swap to be nice or because you may want to treat them or indeed if you want to swap, etc. but to insist because it's based purely on them being of the opposite sex therefore they somehow "deserve" or "should" be there instead of you, the man?

And more frivilously, what if you both want to me nice to the love of your life just because that's what they are, and both of you insist the other takes it?

(No offence intended to you personally clubman BTW! Just voicing an opinion, and apologies if I interpretted anything wrong from your post.)
