[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's weird the way the last three are phrased, issn't it?

Presumably, the higher earner its the one with the restrictive food, and lower earner (who is expected to cook) resents it.

Also presumably, the higher earner I the bad communicator and doesn't like it when the lower earner voices complaints.

But then we get to the driving.  why is that included in this very one-sided presentation?  Does the lower earner not drive, and thus is worried about what might happen in terms of custody, living arrangements, work prospects, etc, if a separation/divorce happens?  But then this is the first acknowledgement by the OP of something the lower earner does that's annoying/limiting.  Or, is it the higher earner who doesn't drive?  Which kind of makes no sense.

It's that last line that is really puzzling me.  [/quote]

Not necessarily. Lower earner could have chosen a religious or ideological or health motivated diet that the higher earner resents. Higher earner could be voicing their complaints about lower earner that more introverted lower earner perceives as attacking while higher earner considers them several more direct and a problem-solver. 
The driving thing is a mystery. Able bodied adults have to be able to drive. No excuses. [/quote]
