re: Wife was irritated by my rapport with the hibachi chef

let me guess.... you're wife is also one who "get's tired" and wants to go home when you start having fun at a party, any friend you get close to becomes a problem for some reason or another and you can't see them anymore...you need an act of congress to engage in any of your hobbies.

These women are pretty common.... can't stand to not be center of your or anyone elses attention and joy. difference is I didn't marry the one I made the mistake of dating...sorry my guy
