True story guys:
The lovely wife and I go to a Bulk Barn Store ( this is a store that sell things in bulk like crackers, candy, nuts etc.) After our purchasing we get in the car and I am driving, I look over my shoulder while backing up and then pull away to return home. This store is in another town near us and we go once about every 3 months or so. We usually take a drive down the back roads to see the beauty of Muskoka scenery . On the way back we take the highway and enjoy conversation.
Part way down the highway Sue pipes up and says ...I am going to tell you something that may upset you. I say what's that dear? When you back up the car you did not check your blind spot and almost hit someone in another car. I think quietly on this replaying the time backing up from the Balk Barn which we just left...I said, there was no one there when I backed up.
She started to get upset and angry, maybe you need glasses? I doubt it dear ...in my mind I am starting to doubt myself...Then I get defensive and blurt out there was no one there when I back out today! She hesitates ... I say you saw someone today after I backed out!?
She says , not today but the last time we went there a month or so ago. That's when I lose it...your giving me crap about stuff that happened over a month ago? She went quiet and said nothing, looking a little embarrassed.... I followed up with, tell you what when something like that happens again confront me on the day of the occurrence please. End of conversation. since that time two of my sons have approached me about odd things about their mother, which gets me to the question. Does it get worst then this?

Mary had me read a book called 'The Pause' when she was first experiencing hers. It's a good source book for the trip your on.
 
...ahem. Mate , are you asking for us blokes to explain the female mind.. ? ! impossible... methinks.
 
NO flowers don't work with my sweetie because she does not care for them. So after 34 years of marriage and many hours of talking over those years I still scratch my head...whistling
 
Hey when I bring flowers I get asked 'So what have you done?'

Go figure - still where would we be without them - and yes that's rhetorical...

;)
 
Hahahaha. Flowers....
Some of you guys may know that my lovely wifey poo is Ukrainian (Russian if you ask her) and I'll never forget the time I gave her a dozen roses.....
In Russian culture an even number of flowers is associated with death. Look it up. I'm Serious!!!! Death. She wouldn't talk to me for hours and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. She thought I knew that and was playing a sick joke. Flowers are still a sore subject with us.

I could make a comedy out of my life. I live a weekly sit com!!!

well, I also have two daughters and with the teenage years on the horizon, from the advice I have , I should now start pouring the foundations for the concrete bunker in the back yard to which I and my son can retreat and sit out the hormonal storm that is coming our way... ?!
 
Take care CW, if you hide your son to effectively, he'll miss some of life's important lessons that he'll need later in his adult life. I had no sisters, and can truthfully say, I was not properly educated as to what was in store for me. :eek:

Yes Facman is right ... life is all about the ups and downs and how we survive them.

And some of us just need a helmet for those rough days and in your case may be a suit of armour.
 
Flowers don't work with my wife either.. she has the Black thumb of death for any plant.. has even managed to kill a cactus... twice..
After our daughter was born, she's been in bitch mode for over 20 years 5 months, 2 days.. Same amount of time that I quit smoking, and I thought I was the one who would be snappy.... I was just lucky that we managed to mingle and conjure up the boy 2 years later.. She says she was slightly intoxicated at the time :)
Perhaps keeping them "slightly inebriated" for the best of both worlds I suppose
