I noticed this page on MSN today. http://msn.match.com/msn/article.aspx?articleid=3163&TrackingID=516311&BannerID=544657>1=6038

It's an article on the seven things men do that drive women nuts.

Now I'd like to turn this around. What are the seven things women do that drive you nuts?

Number one on my list is how they will ask you for advice, then totally ignore whatever you have to say. WHY ASK?

Another one would be how everything that's yours is theirs and everything that's theirs is theirs.

One more. Ever notice how when you go shopping and you see something you like and it's $99.99 it's always "A hundred bucks" while if it's something she likes it's "It's only ninety bucks." Funny how they round up on you and down on them.

That's all for now. I love my wife, but they're things she does that drives me nuts. We won't even get into her dusting habits around my models.

Ciao Halfyank,
I hear you, brother. I like this one:
She's mad.
Me: "What's wrong?"
She: "Nothing."
Me: "Okay."
She: 20 minutes later - "I'll tell you what's wrong!!"
Me: - In the doghouse!
Seventeen years of marriage and it still happens all the time. I love my girl, though.
Ciao for now
Rob

My wife doesnt moan about the kits i buy and i dont moan about her ever growing shoe/handbag/clothes collection. Thats just the way it is,its a trade off and it works just fine.

I've been married for 17.5 years and I've learned that no matter what happens "I'm wrong"

What bugs me the most is similar to Roger

Wife: "What do you want to have for dinner?"
Me: insert anything
Wife: "No I don't want that?"

Repeat

After 30+ years of marriage, I've learned that it's just easier to say "I'm sorry, and it's all my fault" the moment I walk in the door.

How's come it's always her things and your junk???

The worst would have to be her (my current and ex wife both do/did this) saying something, say, in a dispute or argument, and then when you say, but you said this and she denies saying it, and she seriously believes that she didn't!

Maybe I am just crazy or my ears are!

Love ya Honey!!

There was a great stand-up comedian (he just acts now I think) named Blake Clark. I have one of his stand-ups on tape called, "Your'e Right, I'm Sorry" Freaking hilarious!! If we all just learned to say those 4 words, no matter what, we would be better off!!

The secret to a happy marriage can be summed up in just two words:

' Yes Dear '

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
Works for me, and I don't even get grief over the fact that I have annexed the kitchen as a workspace...

Cheers

My wife, while at work one Saturday, managed to flush the car & house keys down the toilet (don’t ask). She promptly phoned me up and proceeded to tell me how it was my fault and what was I going to do about it? At the time I was almost 100 miles away, this naturally was also a contributing factor! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Quoted Text

instead visited numerous clothes shops where i was asked " does my bum look big in this"



The correct answer to that question is of course " your bum looks big in anything.."

A common variation on this exchange is : " do these jeans / this skirt make my bum look big" , to which the answer is " it's not the jeans/ skirt that make your bum look big..."

1) Doing something one day is right but do it the exact same way the next time and it's wrong.

2) The imfamous, "I'll tell you when you've done something wrong"

Almost 20 years married. I have learned the following:

1. It's always my fault.
2. I am never right.
3. I don't make enough money.
4. I don't understand her.

Yes, dear - sometimes works, often it doesn't.

Sigh -

I like to keep my things in order and when I say something about the mess she keeps in her things she say I´m an obsesive person with the order and bla, bla, bla....so after 25 years of marriage I found that the better thing I could do to keep a peacefull existance is to have my personal things and clothes in another room and use a different bathroom.

Ive been married for only 4 months but I laid it on the line before we got married.

I said:

1)If I ask you whats wrong and you say "Nothing" and I know your'e lying, I'll assume nothings wrong. I dont have time to play games.

2)Dont ask me a question you dont want an honest answer too.

She seems to be alright with it. So far.

I got to second Slodder's comment. When my was pregnant with our first child she'd constantly keep asking me to pick up a "goodie" at the store. I'd go out in the middle of the night to get one. I'd always ask, "what do you want?" She'd reply, "oh, you pick it, you're good at that." So when I had slepped the stuff home I'd get, "oh, that's not what I was in the mood for."

I learned with the second child to bring several things home, to increase my chances of being right.

James you hit the nail right on the head.I've been married 11 years and would you believe she still asks "does this make me look fat?".You're in trouble no matter what the answer is!

I cant stand the " put the seat down" line from women...how old are YOU that YOU cant put the seat down? This just goes both ways and I cant stand women that complain about it.

Ah the joys of matrimony.....
Don't worry about the toilet seat, you can aim well enough to get it through the hole can't you? Anyway SHE cleans it!
Don't worry about the clothes, as long as you're not in debt. After all you've got a garage full of motorbikes/models/ classic cars/militaria (add your choice)! So let her have some fun!
It's an ackowledged fact that men have an attention span of exactly 72 minutes when shopping. So go to her shop first then wander off to Smiths & browse the magazines. Take one of the kids with you so it looks like you're helping!
I daren't complain. I've got a bike @ the dealers with £1800 of work to do - best behaviour for @ least the next 10 years!
