I agree. I am definately not stating this is my situation. Yes it is a very broad stereotype but I do feel there is more than a shread of truth to it. I've been married twice when I was young and dumb and I'm sure I'll see a third sooner than later. I also have tons of friends and family members that have been or are married. Most guys don't have the sack to admit it but as a man gets older his disires for a stressless world grow.
We don't mind doing chores around the house and we don't mind dealing with your monthly visitor. Its the coded language you speak that drives us up a wall.
Example:
Messican Lover: Honey I finished the yard early and I cleaned the kitchen before you got up this morning. Some of the guys are going down to the park to play some ball about 3 today would you mind if I got a game or two for a couple of hours before we start dinner.
Messican Lovers Wife or Girlfriend(in a firm voice without smiling): You go ahead and do what you want. If thats what you would like to do on your day off since the chores are done you go ahead and play as long as you like. I guess your planning on drinking a few beers with boys to huh.
Sounds sweet and she said the right thing.
I don't have the Wife to real world handbook but let me translate this for you.
Messican Lovers Wife or Girlfriend: You go ahead and play with your little friends and see what happens next. I see that you got up early to finish you chores so you could go out and play but why the don't you get up early to knock out them chores so we can spend a afternoon together at the mall or the movies. Your busy all week long and on your day off you don't spend anytime with me.
Anyone who is married or with someone has been face with that quandry and then they wonder why when they get home the wife is all pissed off and not saying anything.
Man will say: whats whats wrong baby you don't feel good or something.
Wife: No I'm fine and you know whats wrong "how was your game".
Were ed right there
Wouldn't life have been much easier if she would have just said "can you play ball another day I would really like to do something together this afternoon babe its been awile since you took me to the mall or movies."
Lot less room for catastrophically bad decisions to make there. Clear cut demands are so much better than leaving us with a bad decision to accidently make. Quit letting us ourselves.
Most may deny it but this happens all the time.
