[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 658543, member: 17461"] Yep. That's my D H too. I say, "Is that really how you want to talk to your wife? Is that really how you mean for me to think that you think about me?" And sometimes? D H hisses (or howls, as the situation, in his eyes, warrants) "YES!!!" And then he always tries to say I get him so upset. And there was a time, early in our marriage, when I believed him, and I would try harder to be better. But what happens between a married couple is meant to happen. It is meant to be that the stronger one is gentled, and learns to think before striking, and that the gentler one is meant to learn to think things through and see what is real and what is not, and stand up. So now? Because we have been married so long and no one left and we really do enjoy sleeping in our bed right next to one another at the end of every day and seeing the other guy's eyes first thing in the morning and etc, when D H is in a mood? I say, "How long is this going to last?" And he says, already knowing he is at a distinct disadvantage, "What. How long is what going to last." And I say: "You acting like a jerk." And then? I say: "Because I really want to know. If you are going to be jerky for like, all evening, then I am going to go find something else to do because I don't want to watch you sulk." And etcetera. So, that's how we do it, at my house. We just did that the other day, in fact. D H was so in a bad mood he could hardly stand to hear about that pirate thread Lil started. Things were much better this morning. At one point? Poor D H said: "The only one who cares about me around here is the dog." What could I do? I agreed, noting that the cat did not like him much lately, either. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
