Thats a cop out.
Men who say the “respect” their wives wishes is a sugar coated way of saying “I have to ask my wife everything.”
As far as the calender dates, the MAN should KNOW if anything is on the calender without having to ask his wife.
Makes me wanna vomit. He didn’t do any of those things you said.
He asked permission.
Perhaps you’ve picked up a stomach bug.
ROFL, you married? Got kids? Didn't think so.
Enjoy the party.
Bad form. The proper way of dealing with that is to tell her something like, "Honey, I'm going to be playing poker on Saturday. Don't forget to take the dogs to the vet. I love you."
A true marriage is a union of two people. Unions normally require a 'give and take' that you don't seem willing to adhere to.
Marriage also takes work to maintain. It is not easy, in most cases, and the work can take what may seem, at times, to be an inordinate amount of effort but the results are always worth it, at least for me.
In addition, marriage requires love. Love is a two way street, not a one way street.
Love means that you coordinate your desires with the desires of the other one in the union, not because it is required, but because you WANT to please the other, as well as yourself.
Marriage is a union, not a "boss"/"slave" relationship.
