40

I worked for forty years (Actually 43 to be precise)

I paid tax for forty years.

I paid the bills for forty years.

I paid into a pension for forty years.

Alright I accept that this is the norm, but:

Why have I had to buy an anniversary card and flowers for Mrs FE for forty years, given these so called days of gender equality?

As you may have guessed, Mrs FE and myself were married forty years ago on this day in 1974 at 1400.ish.

DO NOT POINT HER TO THIS POST.

  1. Why have I had to buy an anniversary card and flowers for Mrs FE for forty years, given these so called days of gender equality?

    Probably because you wish to reward her for putting up with you all that time and in the hope she will continue to do so - at least that's why my Mrs gets one and I'm 5 years further along - so it's working so far! Congratulations.
