If he ever came home from work and saw me doing that...he'd institutionalize the woman sitting there and demand to know where his real wife was. :-)
No kidding, I have worked hard to prevent that kind of truth from spoiling our marriage ;~D
If I could blind fold him...but, alas, we have a 10 year old. I don't think she'd understand mommy sitting neeked as a jay bird on the couch. Counseling would be in her near future. :-)
I'll add my 2 cents:
1) Don't complain about the sugar on the counter when he makes your coffee in the morning and brings it to you in bed.
2) When he's helping fold laundry, let him fold things "his way".
3) When he picks up milk and bread on the way home from work, don't complain that he didn't get 2%.
4) Bring him a glass of ice water when he's working out in the yard.
;-)
You know, I'm not trying to pick a fight. But I think if you take a fair look at what we're saying, you may realize that the two of us both have a legitimate gripe.
Equality my rear! We live in a matriarchy, not a patriarchy. And I suspect that it has been so for many decades.
And you don't deserve to see them.
Go read the original post...
but she does them because she wants to and not because I ask her or it is expected... by me OR by society.
Fair enough. I think doing those things, for whatever reason, is what makes her a solid citizen and a better contributor to society. In my case it also makes my wife more cuddly.
LOL!
I look like Angelina Jolie in the dark (just shorter)
Well yeah, understandable about the kid!
A perfect segue for my favorite Seinfeld scene.
Jerry: Damn it, they gave me cream! I asked for nonfat milk!
Patty: I think they have 1% over there.
Jerry: 1%?! They can kiss 1% of my ass!

14. Dont complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.
Hey, I actually agree with all of these, except the one above.
He stays out all night, I might have to kill him. He best not come home at all.
Men would rather be in a cave in the woods watching TV and chomping on red meat. Care to join in?
XSMommy...I say Amen to your post #287...picking on a woman because she is not married, is just plain stupid...some folks would have her get married, even if she was not in love...now thats one sure fire way to wind up getting divorced...then they could crab because she was divorced..some folks are never, ever happy, unless they are harping and whining about something...
About husbands staying out all nite...when my hubby was in the army, especially if they had been out in the field, it would sometimes happen that maybe a weapon would be missing, or something really bad had happened...guess what...they would just lock up all the soldiers, and let them sweat it out until the higher ups could figure out what was going on...eventually we wives would get a phone call from some military official or another, explaining the situation, ,and asked if we would come down to base, and bring our hubbies some clean clothes, at least some clean undies...
But most times, those phone calls never came until we wives had realized out hubbies had been gone all nite...one time my hubby was 'out all nite', for three days and three nites...it was just something you got used to in the military...
My husband always told me, dont worry, if I am gone, or worse, dead, the army will call you and tell you where I am and what happened...
Yeah. When you pinged my pop-culture bent, I figured you were referring to the 'Francis' comment (from Stripes).
What in the world makes you think I want to see "the girls"?
And people in a polite society don't talk about their freaky sex lives to others.
Now stop posting to me. I don't want my computer to get herpes or anything.
I have a saying,
We're all trains,
Some just engines, some are cabooses,
some with lots of cars and then
some of us are wrecked ;)
Not everyone is able to live the same life as someone else. One person's heaven could be another's hell.
So ain't it grand we live in a country were we can pretty much pursue happiness as long as it doesn't take away from someone elses :)
The diet coke I just spewed and wasted was worth the laugh! Thanks.........
That sounds like modern feminism.
