*the doghouse*

[warwick.hoy]

Yeah,...when I get "in the doghouse" I tend to be too busy resolving the issue to be hopping onto TBOT.

Conflict resolution occurs pretty shortly after the conflict breaks out. We figure it out so we can move on with the rest of the day. Being mad at one another is not fun.

And as a husband,...I have my gripes as well. Those gripes also get addressed so it's not just a one way street.

I am in the doghouse(in a non-married way) every other week or so. I use WAY too much sarcasm for my own good. I have still to learn from it(maybe because if she's mad on Sunday we're cool again on Monday and best friends again on Tuesday).

Right after my wife had our first child together, she was crazy with post pardom depression which at the time I had no clue what was going on. The slightest little thing would set her off due to her body chemicals going crazy and then causing her to go nuts in the head. I figured that she needed to hear how she sounded so I secretly recorded her going off with a pocket tape recorder and then played it back for her.

This was not a good idea on my part...

Hahaha. Oh man. That couldn't have gone over well. You can never win a battle against hormones with logic and common sense.

My wife is a very kind, loving, and forgiving person. Shes makes a point of saying that she loves all of me, even when I'm being a crab. I consider myself lucky.

That being said, I pay for the house, so the doghouse isn't an option.

I salute you.

That's the truth. So I don't battle when that is happening. I just end the "discussion" and tell her very firmly that I'll be glad to talk about it when she is over the rant and can be objective. I always tell her when those times erupt, "Go ahead and get mad all you want, I don't care. I'll care when you can be rational." Did not have to do that too often.

 

[MatticusMania]

Yup, no doghouse here either. We dont like being mad at each other, and if something is wrong its noticable and gets dealt with right away. She tells me I dont ever make her mad, which has to be a lie!

 

[kserg]

Well, there's your first mistake...

I thought first mistake was getting married...
