Memo to tailfins: TV shows and commercials are not real life. The Odd Couple was a comedy. It was supposed to be funny. Perhaps you didn't get the message.

I know that Texas is a community property state. That means your wife could leave you tomorrow and end up with half of everything you jointly own. As the primary caretaker, your wife will get custody of your kids. And since she has the kids, she will likely get the house as well. Since you work and she doesn't, you get to pay child support and expenses.

Now you know why most men decide to sleep on the couch instead.
