Different strokes for different folks. We share everything including the FF madness (or at least the benefits of it). Works great for us, I guess we OWN each other

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">It's a partnership -- not OWNERSHIP. In 26 years of marriage, I have NEVER looked in my spouse's purse. Even if I am asked to get something out, I hand her the bag and she gets it out. We don't open each other's mail. We have joint accounts -- one for each of us -- and they are private. Every couple has to make their own rules, I suppose, but ours work for us and they have always been unwritten. It is not a matter of hiding things but simply maintaining some independence, respect and personal sovereignty.

One day, and this is true, we had a flamming row in the car. He was trained to drive many years ago by the best driving authority in this country, and still nurtures ambitions to be a Formula 1 racing driver. After one particular jaunt along one of the Highways and Byesway of this fair land at speed that the police would have ripped his licence over, we got lost. As our only rows are ever in the car (I learnt to drive in Paris and he says I am a public danger, I say that I can fly the world and the only time that I get lost is when he drives, and who by the way has had all the accidents in the car).
After such a discussion we passed a farm sign discussion we drove past a farm (I suuppose) anyway there was a donkey or mule (I can't tell the difference (they're all alike in the Passenger Cabin)) with a sign for fresh pork. He broke a 10 minute war of no-words with the remark.
"Look, your relations no doubt"
I retorted
"No, I married into the family!"
As usual we just corpsed laughing. Now the real joke was about two months ago, the very same lines came back as an email joke (you know that sort that the ill-witted send to strings of the illiterate). So I assume that either some Galley Gossip was overheard or the whole thing was launched by a British Airways Cabin Crew member.
Off topic, but not off point I think!

After 20 years of wedded bliss (on May 1), my beloved knows the value of anything with an AA logo and would not dream of misplacing it. She is starting to learn that I would prefer that it was left unopened, but she would not dream of throwing it away.
She has learned that all of those envelopes are her ticket (literally, and figuratively)out of the rainy country.
Miles are a wonderful thing! Great thread.
