Loved this. It just cracked me up. 

I can see how these might be a little irritating. I could just see your face answering these.

Now go make me a sammich woman!

You leading point is very valid. However, concerning the examples that follow, men are told  many of these same things when they get married.

And studies show married folks have way, way more sex than single people. Only, with far less variety of partners, one supposes.

Just an observation - as a person who's owned a business before,

It was your husband that called first. He was the one that had made the request. While YOU know it's your husband, they don't. There are liability issues involved if someone claims to be the wife of a potential customer but really isn't, and sets up service. I actually had a problem with this. I had an auto detail shop in Honolulu when I was younger, and one day a guy comes in for a quote on his car. I tell him what my prices are, and he says he'll think about it. Next day, the same car shows up, with "his wife." She says her husband wants it detailed like we'd talked about. So she drops it off, and I do the work. Later that day, the man who originally talked to me comes back, fuming mad. Turns out he decided he wanted the car to go somewhere else, apparently he'd found a cut rate shop down the road and wanted to save the money. Long story short, I still got paid my money, but not after a long, and unnecessary verbal confrontation with the husband and the wife who I called on the phone. It was a big hassle, and completely unnecessary.

Perhaps sometimes the benefit of the doubt? Not everyone is out to get you because you are female. Hard to believe, I know.

and as for all the "now that you're married" comments... grow up. Those are things that the majority of couples go through. We can all tell jokes about how we didn't want to, and never planned to, have kids until we got married. We can all tell jokes about how once we got married we learned to cut the grass like our dad, or cook like our mom. Why do you suppose you never hear a man complain about sexism when after he gets married someone suggests the best brand of mower they've found, or where to find the best set of Allen wrenches?

As long as you make yourself the victim, you will continue to be the victim.

Comments like the one above this are why I am reluctant to rec sometimes.

I think it happens on both sides. When you get married, you give up a little bit of yourself. Men get plenty of those little talks too. We get plenty of "Are you sure you don't want to ask your wife first...?" comments.

They are a bit silly though, because all of those changes may normally happen, but they don't happen immediately. They sort of gradually occur over the first few years. But I guess people who have been married for a while forget that.
