40 years, Congratulations to you both!
I know what you mean about gentle-person.
I swear on my life and The Holy Bible that in 12 years of marriage, my wife, except for maybe one time, has never called me any bad name. At least not out loud - LoL!
Except for maybe one time when ten years ago when we were in a car and *I think* she might have called me a jerk, because I said some music she liked was crap. But I was busy driving and it wasn’t till later that I wondered if she did in fact call me a jerk.
Periodically, to this day, we’ll be sitting quietly and I’ll look at her and think - “you called me a jerk, didn’t you?... Sure did sound like it... Wasn’t anyone else sitting in the car...”
I never asked her because because that would ruin it.
Yep. Known him for almost 40 (January 31), married to him for over 33 (November 3).
I suppose it’s not so bad if your dear wife called you a jerk just the once. [smiles]
