> And one reveals: “Sometimes when my husband and I are in a fight, I purposely wear sexy underwear just to rub it in that he won’t be getting any that night.”
That has to be the Guinness Book of Word Records Stupidest Marital Strategy ever. Demonstrating once again why spiteful women are unable to play strategic games like chess or any other game that requires thinking ahead more than four moves.
Surely she expects her hubby to stew in his juices for a few nights until she decides it’s time for nooky — on her terms? She’s playing checkers, not chess! And she’s playing to lose.
From his vantage point it’s Check-mate in three after sacrificing his Queen, castling on the King’s side and then forcing Mate by capturing her Queen and queening his king’s-bishop’s-pawn, with the added bonus of discovered check from his Queen’s Rook — just to leave her in no doubt that she has lost the game. Oops!
I diagree only in that you slander checkers, a subtle strategic game with a long and honorable history. Better to say that she’s playing tic-tac-toe, and he’s playing...with someone else. Or will be.
You are right, very stupid strategy. First of all marriage is not chess or checkers, it’s a three legged race and she’s swinging at his legs thinking it will somehow get her ahead.
