Man Helpfully Explains To Wife Why She Should Be In Better Mood

MURFREESBORO, TN โ€” According to sources, local husband Scott Limber rescued his wife from depression by helpfully explaining why she should be in a good mood.

"Don't worry, sweetie, you have no reason to be sad," Limber reportedly said. "Please allow me to explain to you why your sadness is slightly irrational given the current circumstances."

Limber's wife, Heather, had been feeling a little stressed and mopey, but after her husband sat her down and explained why she should be in a good mood, that all changed. "You know, you're right," she said. "Thank you for explaining to me why I shouldn't be sad. It helps a lot."

Mr. Limber then silently congratulated himself for doing such a good job making his wife feel better.

"Scott really is the master at this," said one source close to the family. "His logic is unassailable, and we all know that when wives are feeling down, they really need the airtight reasoning skills of a husband. That always makes things better."

At publishing time Mr. Limber went ahead and bought his wife some Door Dash tacos and massaged her feet, just in case.

The tacos and the foot massage make all the difference.

Yeah, that's the ticket... NOT.

Thatโ€™s as good as, โ€œSince Iโ€™ve been retired, honey, Iโ€™ve observed your daily routine and have come up with a list of suggestions to make it more efficient.โ€

Hahaha

I learned really quickly that trying to solve problems and using logic to figure out a best course of action “Is NOT” how to deal with the wife’s emotions.

His wife's, his own, or both?

What if, in addition to her lie about the fruit, Eve also lied about the existence of The Serpent?

All depends. The neighborhood is a possibility as well. :)

But you know I have yet to meet a person that would be cheered up or calmed down by being told that they were being illogical. My husband is not and certainly none of the cubs are. People feel what they feel and while a hug, a sympathetic ear and a calming cup of tea may help the "trying to talk them out of it" bit just leads to them becoming snippy at best. At worse.... let's not go there.

Man tells wife he really wishes she wouldn’t use “The Silent Treatment” to get more peace and quiet.

As we all know, the "Silent Treatment" is not, in fact, quiet. It is ABSOLUTELY THUNDEROUS. As far as I can tell, it operates in the infra-sonic range, below 20Hz, where the ears don't respond, but the whole body does. Especially the gastrointestinal system. Despite what Wikipedia says, it's not just an urban myth.
