[quote]This one is for you "need to be nagged to death"...I totally get why your wife nags you. Maybe you should pick a life partner by what you have in common instead of the size of her waist and her breasts.
As for this being the men's room it certainly is full of shit! [/quote]
And this is the best you can come up with??? My wifes boobs??? You are pathetically funny.....
Yes ROTFLMFAOOY

[quote]How is being honest full of shit? If we come home and hang on every blessed word you say and tell you exactly what you want to hear THEN we are being full of shit. I just worked 10 hours,sat in God awful traffic,I'm hungry and the kids and I have to be at Karate in 10 minutes AND the kids didn't do their homework yet.( Tell me again what you do all day, certainly wasn't housework) I could give a flyin fart that Joan across the street just planted a fig tree. [/quote]
That just about describes the life of a useless spouse. For all of you who are just dying to know, my wife and I both work, she for the state of NV and i work in the resort industry. SHOCKING? We both manage to raise our only and get her to where she needs to be. We are constantly juggling our lives.
So forgive me if some drone about who is going out with who or some such hot news doesn't sweep us of our feet. BTW, we seem to be working things out for now. So all of you hate mongers can stick it up your useless asses.

Why would I want to go gay?? Most of the girlie boys I have worked with talk more than you broads. Man cave,giant TV's, my money is actually my money, when I require sex it's easily available ( yes, with a woman) I do what I want, when I want, and how I want and it is quiet when I get home.I am greeted by the greatest female ever! She is just DYING to show her affection for me and is really happy to see me. She is the best dog I have ever owned.
Doesn't get any better than that. It has nothing to do about going gay. It has everything to do about being single and LIKING IT!

[quote][quote] In all honesty, I think most men would agree that the thing they want to do the minute they come home from work is to sit down and vegetate for a good 20-30 mins. Meaning, no excessive (or ANY) dialog, unless it is an emergency. Just give us the friggin remote and let us flip channels aimlessly until we can unwind. I'm sure you'll find afterward we will be a LOT more tuned into your needs afterward. [/quote]
These words are the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And they need to be understood by the fairer sex. We just want to coexist in peace. Too much to ask?

That feeling is not exclusive to men. It is a feeling that women also have. It is a feeling that is misunderstood by certain types of people as opposed to a single sex.

Hangs his head in shame at what he is about to post.
While I agree and wanted my "please just let me unwind" time. Wear a different hat and see how it fits. You get up in the morning get dressed for work, maybe help make breakfast maybe not, you leave to go play with your grownup friends all day and then come home.
She on the other hand gets up and maybe makes breakfast maybe not, gets dressed to whatever degree for the day of dealing with kids all day. When you get home you are the first person she has seen in the pst 8 hours that can talk about something other than "did you just see what Barney did?""Mommy can you get me this, why not?""Mommy how come the sky is blue and not purple I like purple better can we change the color of the sky" on and on and on and on for 8 hours they never shut up. When you walk through the door she sees a human that can use and understand "big" words and she rushes you like a herion addict coming off of a 3 day dry spell and just found her favorite dealer.
Its all about perspective.

Point taken. Maybe SHE should go out and get the job (and "play with [her] grownup friends all day") whilst I stay home with the kids then. I've mentioned this to my wife on NUMEROUS occasions, but she has yet to take me up on the offer. I wonder why?
Edit: Also, my wife almost ALWAYS goes out during the day with her mom to ... drum roll please ... go shopping. Thus, not only does she not have to worry about actually battling traffic to get to work, battling a boss and other stresses of an ACTUAL job, battling traffic coming home, but gets to ENJOY talking with her "friends" and doing the one thing a lot of women enjoy: shopping (using MY money).
The thing is she used to have an ACTUAL job and do the 9-5, but always complained about it, the boss, and everything remotely connected to it. When she decided to quit to care for our youngest, we made a verbal agreement that she'd be SOLELY responsible for the upkeep of the home (including cooking dinners every night), and that as soon as the kids were of school age, she'd go back to work. I *STILL* do 50% of the indoor housework and 100% of the outdoor housework, and she's told me that SHE'LL decide to go back to work when she feels like it - IF she feels like it.

A gross generalization.
My X worked in academia. She would race up to me with fascinating details of the latest anthropological discoveries. And the content of her nattering was, indeed, quite fascinating.
It doesn't change the fact that some men (like me) need decompression time. Why is this so abstract? I have a friend who is in the military reserves. He has to go out to a restaurant for dinner after his days of military training because they are so intense. He struggles with sitting at the dinner table and being bombarded with the mundane details of everybody's day. Is this really too much to ask? Are we as men not even allowed this?
Like stoltz posted, it's always the MAN who has to change. It's always the MAN who is intolerant. It just gets to the point where you are forced to tolerate the intolerable. And then the marriage begins to decay.
I've had professional, degreed psychologists tell me that intolerance to excessive talking is a perfectly legitimate concern and a common stressor in a LOT of marriages.

I got the kids ready for school in the morning,while she slept. She reluctantly got out of bed to put my youngest on the bus( who was already fed,dressed,school bag together and brushed his teeth) From 8:30 to 4:00 there were no kids to deal with. The house wasn't cleaned,laundry was never done,dinner was never started. Why? Well you have to be at the gym by 10:00. Meet the girls for lunch at 12:00 and then hook up with Mom to go shopping after that. Seems to me she has been social and talking her fargin head off all day. When I got home to an empty house the kids would be at the neighbors because she would always be running late.*Sigh* Tell me again why you quit a 70k a year job? Ohhhh yeah, you wanted to be able to be home with the kids. How silly of me,I forgot. Anywho I used this time alone to start dinner, throw a load in the wash and straighten up a bit. *Whammo* She's home stating how tired she is,not enough hours in the day blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah..........
And from my perspective I really enjoyed watching Barney and trying to explain why the sky is blue.
Chin up, it's all good.

Ok my bad women are bad men are perfect...I will assimilate.
Just kidding guys. Look I no more generalized than you all did. All women are not like my example nor are all women like yours. The longer we lump each other into categories the longer the we stay bitter at each other. My example was my exeperience and mine only and yours was yours. Now granted had I not had kids and my wife worked she would have most likely wanted to come home and immediately talk what can I say She just wanted my attention and I can't really blame her for that now can I? I am a great person after all and who in their right mind wouldnt want my attention? Take it as a compliment and stop whining about it already.
