    anyone else get the moaning about you not appreciating the housework she's done before you've even taken your shoes off. Even though you have noticed, but barely had a chance to say anything. Thereby depriving you of the chance to earn brownie points for noticing, i've taken to just sniffing and saying, hmmm smells like burning martyr in here...
    I get that, but have yet to find the balls to reply that i haven't just been thanked for doing ANOTHER day at work. :roll:

    Maybe one day...

    When i have had enough of life...

    I've done that one, apparently looking after the boy and house is harder, she can't explain why she falls to sleep on the sofa the days she goes to work though hmmm. Although she is pregnant now so I'll let her off. Come february though my dinner better be on the table, and she can make my sarnies for work :D :?

    I was forced, I also was not allowed to enjoy the experience any more than was absolutely neccesary.

    [shudder]girv73, I think I used to be married to your wife..at one point I would have chewed off my own arm to get away; thankfully it didn't come to that; alimony was the best money I ever spent. [/shudder]

    Thankfully the current mrs surista is a true bikerader woman (and a seriously hot babe to boot 8) )

    Funny thing is, I find myself doing *more* around the house now (and honestly enjoy it), than I ever did with the ex witch. Amazing what a little reciprocal respect can do to a relationship...

    Selective memory... it's a common female affliction. Might I suggest you prepare a list of things you've done in the last week and count them off on your fingers and finish with you just don't notice the effort I make around here... or something to that effect. enjoy the stunned silence maybe spluttering if you're lucky, get yourself a beer sit on the sofa watch some sport and have a good scratch

    Okay everyone. Here's a game you can play:

    The Game: Husband conversation:

    Rule 1. You MUST have a meaningful conversation
    Rule 2. You can ONLY use the terms: "Yes Dear", "No Dear" and "Sorry Dear". 1 point for each term used.
    Rule 3. If you are able to use all 3 terms in one conversation, you get double points
    Rule 4. If you are able to use all 3 terms IN ORDER (as above) in one conversation you get TRIPLE points and must do the victory dance.
    Rule 5. Your wife MUST not realise the game is on.
    Rule 6. Duck.

    Have fun everyone! :D
