I love they way they moisten up in a brisk saute, then burst with flavor from a gentle nibble and roll of the tounge.

Or something like that.
Only speak to her in Swahili until she stops calling you.
You guys see that multi-grain Cheerios commercial where the guy sees his wife eating it and says, “trying to watch your weight” and spends the rest of the commercial backpeddling and apologizing.

Softly and deeply, but with a posative tone and measured pace that lets you know I’m paying attention. ;}

Dude, that’s just average pissed-off-woman attitude. It NEVER means that the object being fought over actually matters. It is ALWAYS some issue that you aren’t even aware of that they are getting pissed off at because you aren’t reading their minds and psychically discovering that the whole reason she called was because you left your socks on the floor in the living room 5 years ago and she had to pick them up.[/quote]
Most truthful and accurate post, you are the Man!

Speaking of my lovely lady, it is just about dinner time.
Center cut pork loins with a white grape and rosemary sauce.
And something butterflied for dessert.
OP-
You’re supposed to keep a small brown paper bag near the phone and when a psycho-bitch calls, you start crinkling the bag over the receiver:
"WHAAT? Can’t… hear… you… phone… breaking… up… "

It’s definitely “throw a boot at the TV” worthy.
“b-b-b-b-b-but the box says it’s low in calories! That’s good right? The-the-the box says it’s high in fiber! That’s good right?”
“What else does the box say?”
“Box says says, ‘shut up Steve’.”
Do married couples actually live like this? I honestly can’t count the number of times a man on this site has said something like, “my wife thinks I’m an idiot” or “my wife thinks I’m nuts for doing this”
What the hell?

When a male married friend advises you against marrage. It’s not because he’s jealous. He’s tring to save your life. We must remember having two heads is not a blessing, but a curse.

It’s too early in the day for misogyny.
I’ll get back to the kitchen and make you a sandwich.
Right. Like women don’t make generalizations about men.
Excuse me while I laugh my ass off and then glue it back on.
That makes it acceptable?
Sexist generalizations are okay, but racially based ones are not?[/quote]

I personally couldn’t deal with anyone acting like I was a little kid yet still sleeping with me. That is how that comes across. Stepping on egg shells trying to avoid saying how you actually feel is stupid. If your wife got fat, you should be able to say something about it. If you got fat, she should be able to say something about that too. I understand being polite and understanding, but why lie?

This is very true. I have a couple married friends that are always walking on egg shells. In one relationship the guy is always apologizing and in the other relationship its the woman always doing it.
I’ve found if you back down too often and/or too quickly then it just makes the other person more aggressive in these situations.

Sounds like too much work. Why not just stay engaged without getting married? Why does one have to get married?
Edit:
OK, I’ll add that I know marriage takes a lot of work, but what I meant is that if you are truly in love with a person and completely understand the monogomous bounds, why get married? Why no just get engaged and put rings on your fingers and leave it at that?

Of course, the flip side of that argument is,
If your in love, planning on staying together, remaining monogomous, living together, and raising a family together…why not get married?
Not sure about UK common law, but in Canada, if you live together for (something like a year) in a relationship you are legally married under common law.

Costs, time, planning, sex life goes down (from what I hear)…
Then again, I wonder how much things actually change from how they are before a couple gets married? I bet the controlling behaviour of one party, or the shitty sex life is there even before a couple gets married - marriage just gives them an excuse for it. But hell, it’s just a guess since I’m only 23.
Not sure about UK law myself either since I’m one of those hated Soth African immigrants, but if you are “married under common law”, than again I see no need for marriage other than a title of saying “I’m married”.

I think it is still seen as a status symbol here in America. Women seem to see it as some right of passage where they will experience the happiest day of their fairy tale lives. This is why it is doubtful that any man could win the Presidency without being married. For some reason, our culture seems to relate marriage with stability in one’s life. The truth is, I often see quite the opposite outside of those who have kids and really have their shit together.
With a 52% (or greater) divorce, it doesn’t look like there is too much stability out there.

Not to mention that the financial arrangement is great for the woman. If she divorces him, she gets paid for years and takes half the assets that she probably didn’t earn with a paycheck! It cost my father-in-law about 1.5 million with my mother-in-law. She’s already spent all of it and then some inside of 6 years.
Jack Nicholson had the right idea:
Buy a house about a mile down the road from yours and move a couple girlfriends into it. Visit every now and then.
