Deuce 1 #26 December 12, 2003 QuoteQuote"Hon, have you seen my cool white cowboy shirt with the pearl snaps?" "No. I think you're talking about that shirt that I hate. Gosh, you look so good. Let's do it and then go shopping!" Does this work often?? (Jaye is taking notes...) Absolutely! Success through avoidance. I think I've posted this before, but I have learned that there is a correct answer to the question: "Honey, does this outfit make me look fat?" It is: "Have you seen my wallet anywhere?"

Nightingale 0 #27 December 12, 2003 There's actually a lot of good advice there if you read between the lines: Edited for the modern relationship, and these go BOTH ways. Let him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile. Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the right time. (you both just walked in the door... and you're both tired and grumpy. take time to unwind before worrying about issues) its okay if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you every so often. (nothing wrong with a little time to yourself once in a while) Try to make sure that your home is a place of peace and tranquility where you and your husband can renew yourselves in body and spirit. Don't greet him with complaints and problems. Don't challenge your partner by questioning their judgement or integrity. (discuss the individual issues, rather than hurling insults like "you're a lying jerk") Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
