The sentence that makes every married man break out in cold sweat
"Come here. We need to talk about something."

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!

I always thought it was "Does my ass look big in this?"

It depends on your wife and whether she has body image problems. 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.

Re: The sentence that makes every married man break out in cold sweat
Not that sentence, it is the constant repeating of the same sentence over and over......listen women, nagging is not productive. We freaking hear you, if something is not done to your liking, do it yourself, we have more important shit to take care of.

Unlike the female brain, the constant barage of high pitched words does little more to the male brain than an initial scan of whether or not everyone is safe...once it has been determined everyone is safe, and the words are just an attempt to bring attention to some mundane task, feeling or personality difference, we turn our attention elsewhere.

Re: The sentence that makes every married man break out in cold sweat
I didnt even read anything in the thread other than the first post. 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.

Re: The sentence that makes every married man break out in cold sweat
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.

"Does this dress make look fat?"
Husband thinks " a sack would make you look fat" An instant later " Danger Will Robinson Danger " as he clamps down on his mouth.

When she says that, I just say, "No habla Ingles..."

She always wants to know why something is the way it is. Dishes not done, house a mess, yard not mowed. My answer every time? Society.
