A quotation from Martial:
«
You lead such matching, equal lives —
the worst of husband, worst of wives —
that it’s a mystery to me
why you aren’t suited perfectly.
[Cum sitis similes paresque vita,
Uxor pessima, pessimus maritus,
Miror, non bene convenire vobis.]

Do a lot of people just really, really dislike their #spouse? I adore mine, so it’s kinda hard for me to fathom. However, I hear so much #anger, #bickering, #cheating, and flat-out #hate from our friend and family circles that I’m REALLY starting to wonder if my wife and I are the exception and not the rule.
My gawd, I really hope not. That sounds like a absolutely miserable existence.

These “Questions for Couples” are at wildly different levels from one to the next. Imagine you open with “How's your weekend so far?” and your spouse responds with with, “Are you willing to take risks to fight for our relationship?”

Well, hubby made an excellent dinner, despite the lamentations of his "having" to do it himself. The only bust was not his fault--it turns out we're not fans of oven roasted broccoli. Crunchy browned bits and broccoli aren't good combos for us.
I told him he did such a good job that I think he should do dinner tomorrow too. (Insert evil grin here.)
Of course, I still unloaded & reloaded the dishwasher. Can't expect a miracle, can I?

«««««
Do not be deceived by appearances. The virtue of a man is not to be measured by what he does while his wife is watching.

A quotation from Austen, Jane:
«««««
I pay very little regard to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person.

I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one’s wife happy. First, let her think she’s having her way. And second, let her have it.

2nd cup of coffee after a bad pain night from hell. I'm barely functional today.
Hubby got all of the litter box duty today, lucky him. Gotta appreciate a spouse who puts up with you tossing & turning all night & then picks up the slack. He even took my complaints about our Mariah Carey dog when I was trying to be patient with insurance reps on the phone. (He had to take her back out despite threatening rain)

Not sure what happened and I probably should not ask...but one of the cats got evicted by the hubby before I even went to bed. I may wait a bit too, it sounded like it had really ticked him off, and it's one of his "babies"....
He's already in a bad mood, as I had sprayed the dog with flea stuff and she wanted in with him before she was entirely dry...
He hates the smell.

I wish there were a lot more #serious #talks about what #people are going through in their #lives. If they would just simply #talk to a #familymember, a #spouse, a #friend, etc., and TELL THEM WHAT IS GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES, there may be a lot less #deathsbysuicide! If they won't talk, make them talk! #988
