I thank God daily for my husband, tell him frequently how wonderful he is, and happily praise him to those around me.

I've seen terrible spouses of both sexes. Lazy husbands, abusive wives. Why people stay in those relationships is beyond me.

Women know women. If one is constantly disparaging her man, then of course other women will wonder if it is because she is driving off the competition.

If a woman really wants to get rid of the man in her life, then of course other women will understand that she will make him out to be the next thing since Carramundie’s Crunchies, and pass him off gratefully (sp?) to the next girl in line.

But to the general public...

To anyone other than her trusted friends and family, of course she will never tell them all about what a catch he is...

All others do not need to know. :)

And yet... somehow every mate I have ever known...

Has always taken pains to let his mates know what a lucky sod he is to have such a loving, attentive and caring girl in his life and how he is such an unworthy sod to have wound up with a wonderful girl like her...

And how the only thing of importance in his life was therefore to be careful about everything he did and to be able to someday come home to her and make her proud.

We men are such simple souls.

If a man is alone in a forest and his wife is not around to hear him, is he still wrong?

According to all the women I have ever known...

Of course.

Old saying:

Women marry men for who they can be...

Men marry women for who they are...

Women always try to change men “To Be Better” *cough*...

Men just love their women for who they fell in love with, and rarely see any need to change them.

Why do women find this at all not understandable?

So... Yes, she treated her SO (Me) like dirt.

Actually, less than dirt. Dirt serves a useful purpose.

Myself, not so much according to The Superior One (The female of the pair, in case there were any doubt...)

Often? OFTEN??? REALLY???

Try ALL THE BLOODY TIME!!!

Too right I got bloody tired of being told how unworthy My meagre efforts were worth whenever I attempted to help about the house.

You instantly dismiss the efforts I put forth towards helping you towards whatever goal you are working towards, too right I am not going to feel encouraged when you treat My efforts with such contempt.

Have fun then. *snort*

“When the men try to help, they are often brow-beaten about the substandard way the first attempt was done until the mother, in exasperation, just takes over and does it herself.”

As the guy, I have felt that. Usually with the dish washer and putting the dishes away. I would go “on strike” for awhile, but then would go back to loading and unloading.

Now I just do it regardless of any complaints, and if I can’t remember where something gets put back I leave it out on the counter.

She does call me at work when it comes to anything cloth-washing related. “So what can I use to get chocolate and coffee out of a red shirt??!!”

As if this is new. As if the founding mothers didn’t hear from their social circles about the ne’er do well husbands among them.

Husbands and wives have been complaining to their friends about their spouses for time immemorial. This ain’t new.

Me, not so much. Turns out the one newbe girl I was interested in was rather proud of the fact that she had a piercing where I might have been interested in probing perhaps at some time, I discovered during our get-together.

No. Thank. You.

Too late to really bother with some of the other lovely lasses I was interested in for this week-end, so I am grumpily catching up on emails for the time being.

My Kelly has texted that she might be dropping by after her girls-get-together later on, but that might or might not be a good thing depending upon their topics of conversations.

Considering what I had overheard during some of their other gatherings...

Not guessing either way. :)

Ahhh... I don’t understand your question, luvvie. Do you mean “only” one, or one particular protuberance?

Or something else, perhaps...

I can tell immediately when my wife has been getting girl power advice from her girlfriends about manipulate your husband 101

I’m like who is coaching you now honey....let me guess.....it’s super spoiled cotton plantation owners daughter who has never worked a day in her life and who’s biggest stress today was choosing handbags....Chanel or Celine....

And men getting advice from other similar minded men about handling problem wife...they’ll listen a bit but eventually they just want to know if she’s as good as she looks like she’d be in ...well you know what I mean.....like if it doesn’t work out can I call her......would you mind...your boys like me you know.....lol......it’s hysterical

Guys are dogs.....I drop dead and my adorable wife will have lots of offers of help from my rakish buds but they’ll have to get through the praetorian guard of my three male Cubs are nothing if not loyal to their daddy

But worse than men or wives playing husbands like they do....is how women treat each other....ruthless beyatches......it can get ugly over nothing

I’m talking 30-60 year old women.....horrible....my wife has few female close pals because of this

And pretty girls can picked on......horribly....I’ve seen my wife come home crying from some kids school event

Once at a pta dinner she approached a huge table to sit down and millenial blondie mom told her all 10 seats were saved...she mortified.....hell...id told her to kiss my ass.....but I bite my tongue cause it’s bad form to cross with another man’s wife

But if I ever get the chance.....

And this thing where gen X wives have to be heard and validated

This younger couple we know got divorced even with young kids

She is cute with beautiful eyes and SAHM......he just dumps her but pays her to stay home even divorced....he’s got somebody...like I said she ain’t chopper liver...I like her I admit....she is utterly heartbroken after 19 years and she’s 36 now

So what does she do?

She writes a blog....for the world to know every detail...,.lol....my wife and I are at the beach and wifey goes oh my God she is telling the world how pissed and hurt she is....

Like I said I’m on her side....he should NOT have banged her up three times and then dumped her....and .with two year old ....shed definitely get a not guilty here from the boys

But a blog to tell all.....

Man....my dads generation had it made when it came to girls

Old school.....garters....hose...slips....loyal...somewhat subservient....didn’t challenge everything and satisfied with a lot less coming out of the depression and WWII

I couldn’t live without them but man they can be challenging

Biggest mistake I ever made was letting Mrs wardaddy know I love her as much or in truth...more than she loves me....in one of my poetic moments

I gave away all my power in one weak second

Never do that....they got ya then....that moment they have been waiting for a lifetime like Sally Fields on Oscar nite

I’m an older dad with my last three...I guess it’s pretty obvious

MGTOW?

as i understand it that means no punani

Count me out.....

There ain’t no way.....

Sex with a fine women.....is pretty much what makes the world go round from my perspective these past 40 years or so

You can still enjoy that bounty even today without being a chump

Now getting married today to a fembot young thang .....yeah....id scratch too

Go to Eastern Europe or South America...or rural South....all women ain’t rurnt

I lived without a woman once involuntarily....it ain’t for me.....

They are a pain in the ass to be sure especially in this hexed era but I just can’t live without a female to squeeze and hold and try to talk to......that’s another male female roadblock....they really are not interested in our bullshit

They want us to listen to them vent and do not offer solutions unless they are freaking out and begging you to “do something dammit”

Man I can remember the looks of exasperation on my dads face when my mom would run back to their room in our tiny unairconditioned house and fling herself on the bed sobbing like Scarlett.....over nothing

My wife doesn’t do that much....more like scowls and pouting and witholding punishment

Their quiver is full of accurately aimed arrows at all times....

Mate... you need to let go of The Amber Nectar for the night.

S’truth.

Post again to-morrow if you feel the need, but for now...

You need to let go the mug and sleep it off.

Post again when you’ve a clear head.

Cheers.

Oh and the last thing you need to do is post about how this girl is cute and undeserving of the Significant Other in her life, because...

My attention is definitely piqued and considering how frustratingly this night has turned out to be so far...

I could well be asking you about more information about an apparently available and definitely interesting girl considering how poorly the events of this particular night have turned out to be on this end.

Cheers.

I’m the exception

My wife ain’t easy nor am I but I get scolded here by lonely horndogs for extolling how beautiful she is..or how happy she makes me at times...to me anyhow....too much

I had a cornhusker guy here once tell me to shut up about my wife that he was sick of hearing it and thought I was making it up..lol

JR zotted him eventually for being hornery

I love women but I think roles have gotten confused and expectations out of whack and priorities misplaced

It’s damaged our culture....I hope we fix it

I’ve got a few posts on this thread...I’m pretty emphatic I’m not interesting in taking up space on this rock without a splittail to share it with me

I know that about myself more than I know anything to be honest

I love women and the children that comes from that naturally...it’s my nature

A lot of men who complain about living without women here as the safe route don’t have one anyhow....and I’m sorry for that....there’s a woman somewhere that need them with like needs and empty heart

My ex burned me really bad and mrs Wardaddy is a mite spirited herself....in other words...i don’t take her for granted....challengers are always lurking about

But I’d never give up on women even if I just arranged temporary company as an old lonely degenerate

Man needs a woman like horse needs oats .....we need y’all more than y’all need us

That’s the big contradiction isn’t it?

Mate.

You really need to go to sleep.

The Amber Nectar is all well and good when imbibed upon on occasion, but you are going to regret some of your postings in the near future if you do not realize that it is time for you to log off and post another day, right?

Cheers.

Partner

I don’t drink or smoke dope or use drugs

Not sure what you’re getting at

I share anecdotal stories generally with folks here I know and whose freeper company I enjoy

And I don’t make shit up like so many do...open...my homepage....that’s me...my family...my life and plenty here do in reality know me....a number have been to my home here in Tennessee

I’m a devout southerner who does not suffer south Bashers gladly.....I try to wax and humour folks and recount my experiences and I don’t sit and reel off pithy sarcasm trying to be most witty or hardcore like many drive by freepers do

I post late because that’s when I have the time to do it and I enjoy it and I typically exchange my observations with folks I know here and like and some of whom know me or my large family off the boards

The businesses I own require odd hours......but tonight it’s Saturday nite and were not going to church....so I’ll sleep in till around 1030

And I’m posting on an iPhone with large hands and not too attentive to spell check

Fact is....I hate alcohol and drunks....they are a pain in the ass to deal with

If you don’t like my style or content feel free to move on......if you want to be pleasant that’s cool too

AFTER you get some sleep!
