Some conservative Catholic men carefully craft every sentence pertaining to their marriage, like they're being investigated by family services.
Discussion
Sir, are you *checks notes* the head of the house?
Gosh, those are some 10-dollar words, you're using, ma'am. *ahem* I would say that I love my wife and want what is best for her. Of course.
Answer the question, sir.
I am the head of the house, in the sense that we always discuss every decision together and we usually end up doing what she wants. Ha ha! *ahem* I mean, really, she wears the pants in the family. Ha ha. Women can be so bossy! Ha ha. *ahem* Did I mention that she owns her own house keys and has a cell phone? Yup, her very own phone. And she knows how to drive a car. These girls today are so EMANCIPATED, know what I'm saying?
I see.
Might we speak with your wife alone, sir?
No, you may not.
You're so under the thumb of your husband that you can't even decide for yourself what you want to wear!
That's ridiculous. Of course, I can. Watch.
Honey, should I buy the red dress or the blue one?
Hmm... the blue one. Red one is a bit too daring, in my opinion, and the blue really brings out the color in your eyes.
I've decided I want to wear the blue one.
Okay, ma'am, I don't think you get how this works...
