HUSBAND: "Why did you tell the contractor to remove my name from the house documents?"
WIFE: "Because I don't want complications if we ever separate."
HUSBAND: "Separate? We've been married for eight years."
WIFE: "And I want to protect what belongs to me."
HUSBAND: "I paid for the land, financed the construction and have been paying the mortgage."
WIFE: "But the house is in my name."
HUSBAND: "Because you insisted we register it that way when we got married."
WIFE: "Exactly. So what's the problem?"
HUSBAND: "You want to remove me from a property I've spent eight years paying for?"
WIFE: "You are my husband. Why are you worried about whose name is on a piece of paper?"
HUSBAND: "Because you just said you wanted to protect yourself in case we separated."
WIFE: "You're making this sound like I'm planning to divorce you."
HUSBAND: "Then why are you removing my name?"
WIFE: "Women have to be smart. Look at what happens to women who trust men blindly."
