What's one thing you can say about your house, but not your girlfriend?
"I wish it were this color, why is it leaking there, I need help trimming the grass I mean bushes, I own it."
Listen up, buttercup. The joke plays on how you can boss your house around but, like, you can't say the same stuff to your girlfriend unless you want to sleep on the couch. And judging by the fact that you didn't get the joke, that's probably where you are right now, dingus.
