Marital Strife. On the job today I saw the neighbor throwing out End Tables. What a waste! I thought. I could use them. i.e. decorate.

But my wife won't accept the junk, I mean "Classic Americana" that I used to decorate my house with before we got married and she moved in. Now we have clean, comfortable furniture that does not stink. Nor is it "Classic Americana".

While I don't long for the good old days, I do realize I am no longer the Interior Decorator in this house! >>>

Ciak , I followed your URL.. need I say more.

I'd bet when things got boring, bad or out of sorts he came home to his women the wife.

We are often referred as the weaker sex.. I beg to differ. Sorry, correction not beg.

We are the stronger sex. We know our commitments and bond to the responsibility to our children most and definitely our man. I can not speak for all women but most.

It seems a good wife, is a security blanket, the one you can trust and always come home to.

Put yourselves in the same place. You are out there, I know it & you know it.

I like the fact this reporter spoke his mind about this, not taking away from his talent but to bust on the odasity of him feeling free to have a lady here and there and come home when it suits.

You just touched on a sour subject with me. Currently dealing with TWO LOW LIFE DADS THAT FEEL ENTITLEMENT BECAUSE OF THEIR SPERM.

Sparing you a bitch session. Signing OFF. Bitchy PC >>>

I thought this an appropriate quote for us guys who hope ... "A gentleman who had been very unhappy in marriage, married immediately after his wife died: Johnson said, it was the triumph of hope over experience." - Samuel Johnson. To go along with this..........

Antoine de Saint-Exupery: If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. ;) ;)>>>

Twill.................Listen to Joe Cocker..."When a women cries".

Since there isn't very much estrogen floating around here. I was even touched by this song. So truthfull, we are lionesses', mothers and protecters, instintual, nesters. Don't interfer with our babies. You guys are on your own, already grown, we assume you are our protectors. Give a women attention, a lot of lovin', tell her sweet things and we will forgive all the dumbass things you to do to a degree. F'um up, you are now ours! You don't want to go there!

Love ya, PC>>>

This is where it all starts and stops . Future past present .

That's funny Miscreant. In the long run, I think the Tv is cheaper than the constant re-painting :S>>>

I don't seem to have much input in what goes on in the house. It seems to have something to do with priorities and the fact that she spends the most time there.

We recently moved some furniture around and found ourselves with a bare wall.

A recent conversation.

The Bride: What should we do with that wall? Me: I vote to leave it there. The Bride: I mean we can't just have a plain wall. Me: Howz about a big flat screen TV with surround sound and.... The Bride: Be serious. Me: I have not been so serious since the day we exchanged vows. The Bride: I think we're done here.

So true BobP and now that you've mentioned it, that thought/realization has occured to me before!

And Paul, my life has been soooooo simplified. Sell the job. Fix the roof. Market the Company. :)>>>

Tom, I think the concept you're trying to name is "delegate". You have, in your wisdom, married a woman of many talents, and as she is better at the "decoration" game than you are, you have delegated the task to her. With appropriate validation of her choices, you will find your wisdom reaffirmed time and again.

Bob, did you get infected by the Canuk virus? It's a slippery slope to use "eh?" as regular punctuation. Next thing you know, you'll start buying Tim's double-double, tip toonies, and insist on real maple syrup on your flapjacks. :woohoo:>>>

Bob Happy wife happy life ? Yes dear always works best.>>>

Twill,

The KING once stated a short-but-sweet bit of philosophy when it comes to dealing with one's bride which I will quote......

"it is much easier to be happy, than right"

Kinda hits the old nail on the head...eh? >>>

I don't dumpster dive...........at least not in broad daylight...>>>

Twill, Most of my stuff is second hand. The only new thing was 11 years ago, a couch & recliner. Nothing trashy, appealing I call it. If I like it, it found a home. I recylce around the house for a new look. Picked up a double bed frame last week, thought I had rails. No rails to be found so it was used in the burn pit. PC>>>

I know what you mean. My wife won't let me use burlap bags as curtains any more. They were really cool, with the different printing on them and all. >>>
