My stupid wife has a strong tendency to spend a lot of money, and she went and squandered our savings without my permission, so I told her I couldn't stand it, and she got mad and ran out of the house... I was completely at a loss, having had to neglect all the cooking and laundry, when my wife's mother came to visit me in a panic, apologizing profusely, "I'm sorry about your daughter... I'll take care of all the housework until you get back..." So I thought, well then, I asked her to do all sorts of things in my wife's place...
