Delilah set the rules. Every expense on the household account that went past the three-thousand-a-month cap had to come with a filled-out Family Fund Expenditure Application.

She said the money was shared assets, and putting it in black and white was how you kept it from hurting the relationship. Two years of this, and I'd racked up forty-three thousand dollars in IOUs under my name.
