I tell my wife that I love her all of the time. I also tell that to my kids. I always knew it from my parents, but they never said it until I was older.
My wife and I also fight. Not a lot. But we dont hide our disagreements. This is intentional. We want our kids to know that two people that love each other CAN disagree. We also want them to know that when someone gets mad, it doesnt mean the world is going to fall apart forever.
If the path were just a straight line of agreement life would really suck.
Try reading that to your wife. And try showing her those stupid pictures. Get back to me after you pick yourself up off the floor and your head wound heals.
Is there really a “Wimmen R Evil” ping list? While not a bitter person, I would like to get on that list.
I will think about what you have said. Scary thing is that these women have always been around my age.
Those thoughts cross my mind on occassions as well. Your wife is a very lucky woman.
I treat my spouse MUCH better than I treat my best friend.
That's a no brainer.
My spouse is in the house while I sleep and has access to sharp pointy things, ;^)
Besides that my best friend isn't NEAR as good looking as my spouse.
(Let's see, have I hit them all? Oh yeh...)
In addition, my best friend can only put itching powder in my underwear while I'm wearing them.
Sorry, Najida, I just couldn't resist. LOL

Disagreeing is one thing.
Being disagreeable is quite another.
And being constantly angry and bitter with each other is no way to live. Likewise, control-freakery, and mind-games ...
It’s my list,
I’ll add you to it (and actually start pinging folks too)
It’s not bitter, it’s just for balance and perspective really.
Thanks!
Please add me to your growing ping list...post 255 was supposed to be to you...but I am FReeping from my cell phone and this tiny screen isn’t my middle agd eyes best choice of font....aaaaarrrrrgh! PaMom
LOL. I think you’ve found just the ticket to achieve maximum results!

My husband says the same thing, basically, neither has a right to complain - just be a grownup and be responsible for whether the toilet seat is how YOU like it before using it.
The most terrifying, humbling, sickening, enlightening moment is when you find yourself involved with a monster, is realizing that something in you is a reflection or compliment to the monster.
You’re on it (golly, 3 new members just today).
I have to invoke Godwin’s Law ...
You Lose!
Last one was an Asian chick (I’m white) that I disposed of yesterday. Nice girl, pain in ass. She wasn’t worth it.
