At least mine, anyway, and probably a lot of other husbands.
Scenario 1:
Wife: I'd like you to make more of the decisions.
Me: [consults with my wife, makes a decision]
Wife: You don't listen to me!
Me: I did listen to you. We didn't agree. I made the decision.
Scenario 2:
Wife: I want to do X, Y, and Z.
Me: Let's think about this for a bit.
Wife: I REALLY WANT TO DO X, Y, and Z NOW!
Me: What if M, N, and O happen as a result? I don't want to deal with that. That wouldn't be good.
Wife: You're so negative! Why do you have to crap on everything I want to do?!? This is the best thing to do!
Wife: [Does X, Y, and Z.]
M,N, and O are the result.
Wife: I didn't know it was going to be like this! This bums me out so much. I wish we'd never done X, Y, and Z. HELP ME!!!
REPEAT with different things in the X, Y, and Z spots.
If you want to share scenarios, please comment with yours.
A look at the world from a sometimes sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek, decidedly American male perspective. Lately, this blog has been mostly about gender issues, dating, marriage, divorce, sex, and parenting via analyzing talk radio, advice columns, news stories, religion, and pop culture in general. I often challenge common platitudes, arguments. and subcultural elements perpetuated by fellow Evangelicals, social conservatives. Read at your own risk.

Please no "cussing" or profanities or your comment won't be published. I have to approve your comment before it appears. I won't reject your comment for disagreement - I actually welcome disagreement. But I will not allow libelous comments (which is my main reason for requiring approval) and please try to avoid profanities. Thanks!
