Jeez dude, you're 42 and your wife has to control the finances or else you'd blow it all? Sounds like somebody has been hitting the blackjack tables (or do you French prefer baccarat?) a bit too much... People here are harping on your wife a bit but I kinda respect her. It's not so much that she has you clenched by the balls but more like she has have two spines for the one you're missing...
