Based on this guys conversation, I think Rush was just as excuse.
She got mad at the cousin for braileing things so he could function on his own.
Personally, I can't see myself marrying somone who feels the need to have that kind of control over me.
I highly doubt this guys wife made only one, and one demand.
I see nothing wrong with making sacrifises for ones family, and your right, family is the only thing that matters. That said, family should be about many wonderfull things, not control.
I think it is pretty disturbing to have somone try and control what you listen to and what you think, not to mention get upset that you can operate the microwave on your own.
Do you think things are a bit heated in our country or what?
Sounds like Hillary. (shudder...)
I might understand if you were a liberal and married a liberal and then saw the light and left the dark side to become a conservative. You might still want to preserve your marriage. But being a conservative since birth, I would never date a liberal woman, much less marry one.
I cannot believe anyone would put Rush before their marriage. Did anyone try counseling or maybe getting away for the weekend? If Arnold and Maria can make it work, (and Carville and Matlin), you can, too. Sometimes we all have to go along to get along. We can't win every fight, you have to pick your battles, (you give me this, and I'll let you have that). By the way, this is not funny.
I heard this caller today. I can't believe that woman....he got mad because his friend put braile on various things in his house and he no longer needed her!!
Apparently you didn't hear that call:
CALLER: See, one of the final straws in the camel's back was her cousin came over and I was depressed and he decided that I should start, you know, doing more for myself and not depending on her, so he went around the house and he brailled the microwave, the stove, the washer and the dryer and showed me how to work the appliances so I could do more for myself. That got her mad because I wasn't as dependent on her.
RUSH: Got her mad?
CALLER: That got her mad yes.
RUSH: Well, I don't understand that.
CALLER: Liberals want you to be dependent.
RUSH: Well, I know that, but, I mean, they want you to depend on government, but women -- I mean, that -- marriage, this is -- I mean -- I mean, I don't understand it.
CALLER: I don't either but she got really mad at her cousin for doing that.

Tell me if a woman like THAT is worth being married to?
I meant SHE got mad....
I heard this today, what a hoot!
My wife is not interested in politics at all, but we share conservative values.
Libs don't even know what values are.
It just would not work, and did not with my first wife of six years.
Been with this one for 25 Years in June.
When I'm dating I weed out smokers, dopers, heavy drinkers and, of course, liberals. Not only do I want someone with similar values, but I also want to be able to engage in intelligent conversation.
Sounds like Rush.
That's really not the situation. The wife gave the husband an ultimatum. The ultimatum was absurd. But there are only two reactions possible to ultimatums; capitulation or combat. Ultimatums require action.
The husband took the only action he could to remain an adult. And now he's happy.
Ultimatums and marriage do not mix.
yeah we don't talk politics - it is a gap in my life - BUT she is a strong woman - outstanding mother and I am glad to call her my wife.
Would I let a scumbag politician or entertainer side-talk me out of my relationship - no - that is ridiculous.
Do I wish I had married a conservative - nope - I married a great woman. She is filled with empathy and is smarter than every other woman I have met - except for mom :-)
You can call me AHHNOLD - heh
I can't imagine such a thing, Amelia. Marriage is like eternal, you know what I mean? ;-)

Why does that remind me of that Meatloaf song? You know the one, Paradise by the Dashboard Light.
