My Wife Is Trying To Melt My Stony Heart

need help

[lawman]

We had a minor argument without resolution last night. I then fell asleep and she worked on her homework. This morning I went to work and she went to school. This evening she's trying to make amends. She bought me a carrot cake and got all gussied up - she's looking really good. I'm trying to keep my game face on so I can win the argument. Somebody help; I'm just about to give in to her wiles. Any lucid, sane, testosterone laden advice will be appreciated.

>Began Posting - by this time I'd already lost. I now realize this.

They always win don't they ;)

[mivox]

No.

almost always… but not quite. ;)

[tbear]

So long as they think they won you're alright.

I can't believe I just said that¿

My advice (borrowed from a christmas cracker, where I get all my best philosophy)

If you have argument with your wife and you are in the wrong, you should MAYBE buy flowers.

If you have an argument with your wife and you are in the right you should DEFINITELY buy flowers.

What kind of ice cream was it?

[Dante_Maure]

"Give in"? BwahahAHAHhahaha!

We're talking about a lawyer here folks. ;)

...looking really good
carrot cake

I can certainly think of worse ways to lose. Sorry lawman, but it was over before it even began.

I`m glad it`s over! ;)

Me being a new member and all, this probably isn't my place to...but hey:)

As far as I understand...

lawman never was engaged in an argument. There really is no 'argument' with your better-half. Fairness is never an issue. It simply is her time and place to make a statement. Statement is absolute. It holds the ultimate merit, and the merit is not bounded by any logic. It simply is absolute:)

Heheheheheh.

Lawman,
It sounds like you didn't read The Rules [murdomedia.net] for men.

[idiotgirl]

File a motion for reconsideration. If declined, humble yourself and don't appeal. You law guys can't always get favorable judgments :)

[agerhart]

I am disappointed....very disappointed. You have been stripped of your new found moderator status.

[mivox]

Well, we can tell agerhart's never been married... hehehe.

I learned a long time ago a fundamental truth of marriage:

You can be happy or you can be right.

If both partners practice this, then you have a happy marriage. Otherwise, it isn't.

Get a dog. They are never mad

[mivox]

That's what my uncle always said. Well, more specifically he said he liked having dogs, because the later he stayed out, the happier his dogs were to see him come home, and they couldn't care less how much he drank.

Needless to say, while my uncle always seemed to own two dogs, he never had women around...

lawman,

I will never fall for carrot cake. If you want to be the boss, the grill alone wont cut in.

Learn how to bake, cook, clean dishes, garden, lander, shop, and then a little more about cleaning the house (especially the bathroom). A slave down on his knees is invincible!

Bake - I'm there;

Cook - all over it;

Launder - she won't let me. something about putting wrong colors together;

Shop - other than grocery shopping, the only shopping I do requires an index finger and a mouse.

Clean - I already take care of the mowing, edging, trimming and leaf blowing outside. Do I have to clean the cammode too?

Slave down on his knees - Well, ahhhhh, never mind.

You didn't mix your dirty socks with her 'delicate' stuff didnt you?

Then you in for at least 20 years. And feel lucky you had cake!

If everything else fails, try singing:

"This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl....."
