NOT double bass- I'm talking the place we married(or moreless semi-married)guys go soon after uttering the words *I'll show HER* :hmm:
When(not if)you are relegated to this dubious place, post here. Tell your story- I may help to get it out, or at least entertain the rest of us. PLEASE no sincere ridicule- if this *never happens to you*, right on. Tell someone else. OTOH, light ribbing will be encouraged & applauded. :D
ATM, I'm not fully *in* although there's been a dark vibe around the house lately... add to that the fact I just made her drag all 3 kids around on some errands because I was out buying totally unnecessary bicycle parts. We have a date tonight so it'l be interesting to see how it plays out. Next?

I make the mistake, quite often mind you, of not respecting that my Wife is a morning bird and I'm a nite owl. I give her crap too much about falling asleep on the couch at like 8 o'clock an stuff...and much to my detriment, be it silent treatment to being "shut off"....it's purely because I get home from work at 5, and want to spend some decent time with her with the kids.....but, I always deliver my "concern" with as much a-hole sarcasm as I do here.

hover, you and I are clearly related. ;)
emor, no one ever accused me of learning from my mistakes. :atoz:
I'm actually glad there aren't a boatload of guys wearing the brown helmet. Personally, I'm still perceiving a slightly-chill shoulder- not sure if I'm tripping yet. I'll keep y'all posted. :ninja:

So it seems 99% of my non-online social circle has realized what an ASS I really am and is not speaking to me. Meh. happens about every 2 weeks, lasts about a week. I just wish I could time it so that whilst *those guys* hate me, my wife still [DEL]loves[/DEL] tolerates me. :hmm:
Kibbles & bits, kibbles & bits...

Women can't stand indifference. If after a little reflection, I see I am wrong, I apologize. If not, I ignore her and treat her with indifference. I pay the mortgage, so I DO NOT sleep in the doghouse or on the couch. You don't want to sleep by me, get YOUR ass out on the couch beyotch.

Yeah, that's what I usually do- & I will. It's really pretty comical- I'll suck it up, head off to say, vaccuum the filthy kitchen floor, where the sleepover kids(that rather effectively thwarted any hot mom action last night:atoz:)frosted home-made cookies- but the floor attachment, which the wife HATES to use, is missing so I can't really do that... also, she claimed the early morning time slot to go jogging- meaning I stay home w/kids rather than go riding myself; fine, but then she sleeps in, blocking me from going as I had PLANNED on her going first & don't have my s**t ready. I also had some food cooking by this time. I pointed this all out to her(also the fact that she's done it before :spit:), and suddenly I'm the a*****e. Yes- yes, of course. You can call me Al(Bundy)...

Pffff..."doghouse.." puuhlease...I laugh at you!!
You guys have to be more like me - the lord and master of your household. When I say jump, she says "how high". When I say "I'm hungry", her response is "what kind of sandwich?" If I say my left butt cheek itches, she gets all giddy in anticipation of scratching it. You guys just need to learn how to be the boss and master..
like I am.





(then I woke up)

If either one of us is wrong, it's generally admitted and apologized for if appropriate. No "doghouse" has EVER existed for me and it never will. Ain't playing some damn emotional BS game ever. The door is always there and I'm willing to hold it open. I've had greater losses.

On second thought, I'd better not push my luck.
