There’s a reason many long time married men are quiet. If i don’t say anything, how can I be wrong?

Sometimes that even backfires on me. I think she wants me to respond so she can start an argument. So, I just remain silent. I found that then snickering, when she begins to tear into me for being silent, only exacerbates the problem. 😋

Bottom line is, if the woman is bound & determined to start a fight, the fight will take place. Walking away is not an option either. But one-sided fights fail to have longevity.

It sound like I do not wear the pants in this household, but she knows better. 🙂

Being married for a long time is no solace if your spouse has developed into an opinionated karen. Every day you become the first victim.

I wear the pants. The train stops if I’m not pulling it. But it’s no fun on an average day. And I’m too old to change directions.
