[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 45054, member: 1991"] I fully agree. husband lurks here all the time. I was posting a PM tonight and having trouble (turns out that using Safari meant that I couldn't post PMs unless it was a reply to one). husband fixed the problem for me (told me to use Mozilla) and, of course, read the PM and any other recent post of mine. De does this with my permission. Of course, it does mean I can't say anything nasty about him, but I wouldn't be doing that anyway. It wouldn't be productive. husband has also softened a lot since I started posting here. The logic of the alternatives made it clear that there WAS another way, and as we put them into practice he could see the positive results. A lot of blokes seem to feel insecure in some way, if they can't rule a household by roaring occasionally. A friend of ours (male) is very much like this. He's very macho, but had no sons. Living in a house full of females I think he feels he needs to prove that he's neither henpecked nor effeminate, and so he goes overboard with redneck views and sexist jokes that frankly, aren't funny. And yet underneath he'd be a nice bloke, if he dropped the sexist, racist, one-eyed views that really are a front, to prove he's all man. Very sad. Because the only blokes who listen to that sort of thing, and for whom it really matters, are not worth knowing. So, to all those males on this site, either regular posters or partners, hang around. Read. Comment. Ask. It can only improve your life, and that of your family. Marg [/QUOTE]
