No, I mean like someone who asks a spouse to drop in-progress chores and bring a purse that's just out of arm's reach.

The appropriate response to that is to fall on the floor laughing.

If she gets pissed and threatens to leave, offer to help her find a new boy-toy who will do her bidding.

Why the hell do so many men think that putting up with this kind of passive-aggressive behavior is a normal part of marriage? It's no wonder Democrats are taking over the country.

I was out in the shop painting or welding or something one time.

My fiance, in a rare act of defiance, mentioned that I spend to much time out there.

I immediately went to the local bar and called her at about 1am.

"Is this better?" I asked

SO what, pray tell, is a better way to handle it than to fall to the floor laughing?

I do not want her to be afraid to ask me something. I just want to have the same respect that she demands of me.
