You don't have to say anything to them....just look at them in a sly way,....or drive a Truck

When my missus gets the s**ts with me, she wont speak to me for a week - she thinks it punishment, I think it's a bliss.

I don't even bother about upsetting her now, I just do my thing and if it annoys her then its her problem not mine.

C cell batteries can only do so much ;-)))

So you are in the dog box for saying something dumb and now you are sitting in the garage patting your Landrover.

Yep, you have a problem.....hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

It goes under the "If it has T*ts or wheels it will give you trouble" part of life.
And as your posting here you have both.
When you do figure it out PLEASE inform the rest of us.
Im the last one to ask, just ask wife #3...........

Have to disagree..... LOL... Granted I'm on my second marriage, but this one has lasted 20 magnificent years! She's my soul mate, life mate and best mate!

The trick is to marry someone that not only you love (and she loves you) BUT someone you LIKE as well (and vice-versa!)

Cheers

Well I'm counting down the months before I go back to sea......12 months to go....

Its all your fault as you did not read the Wife Training Manual correctly. You need to accomplish training in the first 2 years otherwise married life may not be all bliss. You must be a bad trainer. Trade current model in and try your training skills on new model.

Axle,

I can relate to your position.

I have had two bad marriages, my first wife left me and the second will not. :))

Axle,
Here is some advice I received recently. Hope it can be of some help.

Guys

It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try to show some understanding.

My name is Wayne, and let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Beverly.

When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Bev to get a fulltime job along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we needed. Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age.

I usually get home from the golf course about the same time she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner. I don't yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men's Grill at the country club, so eating out again at night is not reasonable. I'm ready for some home-cooking when I hit that door.

She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating, but now it'snot unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner.I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening that the dishes won't clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed.

Another symptom of aging is complaining. For example, she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during herlunch hour. But, boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I just smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days. That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think that this is one of my strong points.

When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods.
She had to take a break whenshe wasonly half finished mowing the yard.
I try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice,big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while.
And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me, too.

I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Bev, and I'm not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating women get as they get older, but,guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this letter, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile..

After all, we are put on this earth to help each other.

Signed,

Wayne

Hi Axel

Search engines are amazing things.

Try here, very interesting reading....http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50735

But most importantly a woman wants respect and to be free to make her own decisions as well as be herself.


Something to ponder though and not much off the mark, I'ld say..................
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question was: What do women really want

Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men, and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer.

But the price would be high as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table, and Arthur's closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.

He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden, but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.

He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus: "What a woman really wants," she said, "is to be in charge of her own life."

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.

And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen, lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened.

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.

"Which would you prefer? she asked him. "Beautiful during the day ... or at night?"

Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day he could have a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch! Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wonderous, intimate moments with?

(If you are a man reading this ...) What would YOUR choice be?

(If you are a woman reading this ..) What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?

What Lancelot chose is below. BUT ... make YOUR choice before you scroll down below. OKAY?




Noble Lancelot, knowing the answer the witch gave Arthur to his question, said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had RESPECTED her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Axle,

What more can I say,
