For the married folk on the board...

Then, out of the blue she'll say I'm too controlling. She can't explain or give any examples. I tell her to explain what I've done, without using the words "always" or "never" or "all the time." She can't do it. Women get mad at something that just happened and then spread it over the last year. She comes back down to Earth after a chance to cool down, but man, they can lose it. On top of that, if there is something wrong, they don't want to fix it! Let's discuss a solution! No, they just want to "feel" about and not get to the root of the problem to avoid future outbursts. I don't know. We have a great relationship and rarely fight. When we do calm down and talk, it's usually something work related that put her in a mood and it gets taken out on me.

I mean, my wife is the same way. We're redoing a bathroom right now, and I can't get her to help me pick out colors and fixtures. I mean, she is happy to participate, but every answer is "oh, that's fine". Well honey, what would you think about doing this type of faucet - "Oh, I dunno, I guess that would be fine".

GIVE ME A DAMNED OPINION ALREADY AND HAVE A SPINE. I'D PREFER IF SHE DISAGREED WITH ME ABOUT EVERYTHING AT THIS POINT RATHER THAN TAKING A NEUTRAL POSITION.

Sample from last marriage (e pluribus unum most definitely)

me: --"I'll cook tonight, what would you like?"
her: -"oh, anything's fine, if you're cooking!"
--Well, what sounds good?
-Anything, really!
--C'mon, something must sound good, name it...
-Whatever you fix will be fine!
--Ok then, what DON'T you want??
-Everything you make is good, just fix whatever YOU want!
--You're sure? Nothing you want? Nothing you DON'T want?
-Nope, anything you fix will be great!
(repeat a few more times for good measure, JUST to be sure)...

then when she walks into the kitchen 20 minutes later:

"You're fixing that? I'm not in the mood for THAT..."

KILL! KILL!! KILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!



(sure glad I found a good one!)

nah, it's not a money thing. My wife basically makes as much as I do. It's just an indecision thing. Trust me, my wife is about as low maintenance as they come.

I'll defer back to BFH on this one.

KILL!!! KILLL! KILLL!!!



ahahahha, that's some funny crap. Made my night.

Men are from Earth.
Women are from Venus.

I haven't figured it out yet either. I have learned that all will settle in about a week or so.

That was the longest 9 mos of my life. I could swear she was pregnant for 3 years.

You read my mind! My gf of 3 years has always been this way. Whenever she does something wrong, and I 'scold' her, she sits there and has nothing to say. When I ask for her opinion, she has nothing to say. When I ask her how she feels, she has nothing to say. I feel like I am talking to a pet sometimes. Argh!

I know this is a re-post, but it is really pertinent to the topic here. Had this emailed to me today:

Love the last 2, and the "Listen to him..." bit.

LOL! A little overboard, but it'll cheer you up.

Marriage is a PITA! Wife is a pain.. Calls my car the "Ghetto Mobile" and even has my 8 yr and 5 yr old are saying "Are we riding in the Ghetto" Oh well, God forbid I say anything about her Jerry Springer family!!! You know sometimes I reflect back in the day where I was 40lbs lighter and 10 years younger and miss the single days but.. I also remember how lonely it was.. I am still trying to figure the balancing act
