There was a reason in biblical times that men built harems.

It gave the wife other women to vent too

The Bible has solutions to everything.

This is how you define a woman. No vagina check necessary.

made the near fatal mistake of simply offering some solutions to her problem.


It’s amazing how this is a universal truth. I don’t why but wives run their lives on wine and self pity.

My first wife was like that. Now 2nd wife can't make a simple decision by herself without my input. Women

Some friends made a tee time for Saturday and my oldest has cheer for 6 hours on Saturday also. I asked her “If she’s got cheer practice for 6 hours, why couldn’t I just go play golf during that time?” Her response was, “I just want you to have to suffer with me.”

Wife: turn it up I can't hear it

Me: turns volume from 36 to 40

Wife: that's too loud, turn it down

Me: does nothing

Wife: just give me the remote

Wife: turns it down to 36, continues to read her book

Yep, normal interaction.

But by not answering, you don't even care about her problems.

It's a lose-lose situation.

don’t be reasonable


Such as telling her she shouldn't be sticking a knife into a toaster? Because apparently this counts as talking to her like she's a child.

Best I can do is put on my best impression of what a supportive, empathetic, attentive face looks like while my brain things about absolutely anything else.

For the tired sleepy feelings in the morning, I suggested cutting out the caffeine tea at night. I even offered to brew decaf tea for her. Also, suggested going to bed at the same time every night.

Mrs M needs to have this needlepointed, nicely framed, and displayed on our wall.

Glad I'm single!
I think 50% of America is single now.

I just pretend to listen and don't say much.
How many marriages have you been through?
Mine is my best friend and I will listen to all of it.
Actually listen.
While listening, I will prepare an answer but will share it only when she finally asks.
If she asks.
I have actually asked if she wants some help or advice, but normally let her vent for a while first.

I always reply: “I too know what it feels like to be thirsty” She at least laughs.
I watched White Men Can’t Jump last night. Such a great scene.
