Wife / Girlfriend rage

I have a couple friends that were married to control freaks.
Both were married over 30 years. Everything in their life was controlled by their wives.
Unfortunately, they both lost their wives due to illness.
It's sad to see my friends going through life not knowing how to pay a bill, when to pay it,
and just being able to survive, they are completely lost.
After paying the bills since I moved away from home and then doing the same with my first wife, my 2nd wife offered/wanted to take care of the bills until I found out she really wasn't doing a very good job of it. She was always really eager to go out and get the mail (po box is out by the road) and got it unless I was out doing yard work or she wasn't home. One day the light bill came and it was in an envelope with red lettering. Yup, past due. Car insurance bill had a red dot in the corner of the envelope so I called my insurance agent what that was about. She had been getting tickets and not saying anything about it. The list goes on and on. She was on the verge of losing her license once and I just said it would be cheaper for her to get a cab and sell her car. Oh man, yeah, I'm glad she's gone! lol
