Whenever my wife asks me that question, I just tell her: "Your ass IS big, dear, but you know I love it that way". A routine joke after a routine question. |

I just want to testify that this sentence causes cold sweat to break out for EVERYONE of either sex, men AND women, married or single. Nobody likes those words, they arent symbolic of married men. You are engaging in hyperbolic misogyny. Go look it up. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 67975679 Germany 08/19/2015 08:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Speaking of personalities, I've always wondered about this. I can understand and accept that the woman might sometimes see the man's behavior as inappropriate and something that needs to change. Stop burping at the dinner table, don't leave shit streaks in the toilet bowl, and so on. It's a fair request. However, sometimes women expect us to change something that really is a part of our personality. I am introvert by nature and dragging me off to parties and forcing me to meet new people won't "fix" that part of me - I can't change into an extrovert. It's actually quite offensive to even think that being an introvert is a personality flaw that needs to be fixed. Similarly, I don't like kids and I don't want kids. Regularly inviting acquaintances who have kids for dinner and making me play with their kids, doesn't make me like kids or want kids. Getting married to someone means that you accept your spouse's personality as it is. You should know that personality before you marry someone. That's why you don't rush into marriage. Getting married to someone and thinking that you can fix his/her personality later on is a recipe for pain and suffering. You might get someone to fake another personality, but you're only making him suffer in order to please you. |

BRIEF
User ID: 65696907 United States 08/19/2015 08:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Come here. We need to talk about something." Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70055051 It's the sentence (+its variations) that every married man has learned to fear. It evokes an instant fight-or-flight reaction, a surge of adrenaline, sweaty palms and cold sweat. You know it's going to be something bad, but you don't know yet how bad. Part of the fear comes from that feeling of uncertainty. It could be something trivial like you leaving dirty glasses on the kitchen table, or it could be about her wanting to have kids, bigger house, or something in your personality that needs to be "fixed" to her liking. Heck, even writing that sentence gives me the goosebumps! Yup, that's when she said she wanted a divorce and she left the kids and I. I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |
