10 Ways Husbands Can Ruin Their Marriage
Townhall.com ^ | July 17, 2012 | Doug Giles

Dudes, if you want to destroy your marriage say and do the following.

1. When busted flirting with another woman say, “Honey, I don’t like her. I’m just chatting with her on facebook.”

2. After she unloads her heart to you, lower your Guns & Ammo magazine and say, “I’m sorry. What were you talking about?”

3. Act like a shriveled hamster during difficult times and say, “Sometimes, I feel so scared and so alone.”

4. Hit her with this one… “Now listen babe. I know our son needs brain surgery but this bear hunt is the opportunity of a lifetime.”

5. After you down a beer yell, “Get me a beer, dammit. Beer and cheetos woman. Don’t make me whip you.”

6. Fart at the dinner table.

7. Tell your wife you go to Hooters for the chicken wings.

8. Scream at her in a loud voice, “You’re not my mother.” And then demand she give you back the Playstation controls!

9. When down and out tell your lady that you think Obama’s food stamp program is the solution.

10. And finally, try suggesting to your 45-year-old wife that. “With new boobs, liposuction on her gut, butt, neck and arms and her doing a little something about her stretch marks she could look just like Miley Cyrus!”

there are a few of us out there... old school types.... raised with morals and values... but most of us are taken already.

Yep.

Doug’s really phoning it in (to mix a metaphor) these days. Maybe it’s time for him to quit the “pundit” business and get a real job, or retire and live on his dividends.

Yep,

I had a heart to heart with my wife of 12 years, who we had been together for 15, and told her exactly how I felt about some things, after biting my tongue for years about them. The response was, the marriage ended that night... Hung on for 3 more years hoping, and for the kids, but effectively, me being honest with her about some things she didn’t want to hear ended the marriage from her side. Wasn’t trying to end the marriage, just put it out there, so it could be dealt with.. Nope.

I was naive enough to think I could tell my life partner anything, good or bad, as you are supposed to be able to, and effectively, by doing that, ended it.

All married men need to do is neutralize the ingredient that makes this so when the stuff kicks in after the honeymoon ends...lol.

And the dirty little secret most women don't want to hear is:

If you don't have one, it's probably because you didn't deserve one....

Miley ain’t pretty. Young and trim, but not a bit pretty.

The question every man should ask himself is:

How much of all the stuff she does “for you,” would she still be doing even if you weren’t around (cleaning house, doing laundry, maintain appearance...etc.)

Lady,

Not to be crass, but you are kidding right? I am not going to say there aren’t their share of dogs out there, there are, but there are a lot of women who honestly don’t appreciate a good thing either.

Cheating is hardly a one way street. Women may be more discrete about it, and generally have lower sex drives, but don’t think for one minute that guys are the only ones who stray.

There is a reason the cliche of the neglected housewife exists.. because its true. But because she’s being “neglected” its okay, yet if a wife holds out on her husband for months, and he finds it elsewhere, its the end of the bloody world.. nonsense, all nonsense.

I think a lot of women have completely unrealistic expectations of men and marriage honestly, I have female friends who cut their husband off over petty meaningless stuff, but they are the first ones crying when they find he’s strayed.

Frankly, you aren’t giving it to your man, don’t complain when he finds it somewhere else, and vice versa. Unless there is some health issue or something.

Can preach puritan values all day long, but I’ve seen pleanty of decent guys driven away, and others not able to get the time of day from women, because of stupid nonsense.

Sex isn’t what a relationship is all about, in the grand scheme of things its actually relatively minor, but when its neglected or unfulfilled, it becomes incredibly major for most people. IF there is no pressure relief valve, it will be found somwhere sooner or later.

Sounds like a question a woman can ask about a man, as well.

“there are a few of us out there ...”

Against all odds my just turned 23 year old daughter (birthday yesterday) has found one who wasn’t taken yet - a southern boy up north raised with morals and values!! And she deserves him - she kept her morals despite being beautiful and smart (rising 3L at Washington and Lee). Sorry to brag but this was really beating the odds for them both and I thank the good Lord.

I had a similar experience when an honest answer to “please tell me what is wrong” wasn’t wanted. It didn’t end our marriage, but it “set the parameters” so to speak. She talks, I listen. Based on my experiences I believe most couples eventually hit this wall. Some learn to live with it, and some split. A minority find some way to fall back in love. I have yet to meet any couple who successfully ‘dealt with it’ the way they do on the TV.

Hooters? seriously? this is what the article comes up with?

greasy, slimmy unsanitary restaurant kitchen “food”?

Where the watresses always whine for sympathy tips and foam padding comes with the shorts and t-shirt? (for those in rio linda, the braziers are padded)

This whole article is questionable.

So the man put the “whatever” magazine down and asked he to repeat her stresses. Seems like someone was paying attention.

It must be bash men month.

Cheating is hardly a one way street. Women may be more discrete about it, and generally have lower sex drives, but don’t think for one minute that guys are the only ones who stray.

Men generally cheat initially for the the sexual release, women generally cheat due to lack of love and affection in their marriage and the guy she is cheating with shows her some love and affection her hubbie is not giving her.

There are also plenty of women out there who want sex on a regular basis and love it just as much as men. Not all women are dysfunctional with low libido..far from it. I know plenty of older guys who say their wives initiate sex and want it. Most women in surveys say they are not getting enough intimacy in their marriage and want more.

Congratulations to all of you! My oldest son got some mail from Washington and Lee; beautiful place, lots of history.

"Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we’d be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?"

Seriously? Why on earth would a woman ask her husband for fashion advice unless she was married to a homosexual fashion designer?

From the something I could have gone all of my life without knowing department. A person who gives one the Dutch Oven treatment is known as a cover fluffer.
