Do you find this demeaning?

OK - I was on the website/blog of an aquaintance last night and have been thinking about this today so thought I'd throw it out there.

She married this guy a couple years ago, he had two little boys from a previous marriage that he has custody of. They both post on this site - he seems to always be doing something with his buddies, going out of town, etc. Anyway, several times on the blog he's posted that "his wife" did this or that well and he was "rewarding her" by taking her shopping somewhere or by (for example) giving her his old rims/wheels when she found him a good deal on some new ones. The whole "rewarding her" thing rubbed me the wrong way, so I'm wondering if anyone else thinks it sounds like someone talking about their child instead of their spouse.

I wouldn't take well to my spouse telling his buddies he rewarded me for doing good by letting me buy a purse. (maybe that's why I don't have one, lol. A spouse, not a purse. I have lots of purses, they don't argue.)

I wouldn't like it but that is probably just his sense of humor. As long as she's ok with it.

Nah, that wouldn't bother me.

If it was his way of joking, and I knew it, it would not bother me. If he was not joking, I think there would be more problems in my marriage than his blog.

LOL, you're probably right.

I do not need rewards from my husband. I make more $ than he does!
