Do wives ever listen?

But if you remember, I'd said at that time that the reason I was asking was because she had seemed to have lost interest in all the things she had previously been interested in. Except jewellery, which I already knew her taste in, but you lot advised me to not use my judgement in that area but let her choose instead

 

Anyway, has it occurred to you that your wife was just helping you to diet effectively? You don't like milk chocolate so you won't eat the Yorkie will you?

 

And if she reads his posts here, he won't get dinner for a month either.
That will really help with the diet.

 

I will, because wife is rubbish at cooking, so I usually do it. Unless 'dinner' is a euphemism...

If she takes away my favourite exercise for a month it certainly wont help with my diet.

 

Haa so she has you well trained then.

You really put your foot in it now, if the wife ever does visit GC, you will be looking at six months of "starvation".

 

Mine listens. She listens too well in fact.

She can repeat my exact words in a conversation we had last week or last month, when I only have a vague idea myself of what I said at the time. I don't bother arguing about it, I simply accept that I am always wrong (even when I know otherwise).

 

Well men, why don't you start your phrase to your wifes with Honey sweetie, -----(and then what ever you want them to hear) see what happens.

 

Haha, my colleague at work buys only what she likes to eat, watch or listen to for her husband for Christmas and birthdays, this way she can guarantee it will be wanted by someone!

 

Because round here, if you call someone 'honey sweetie', they are likely to crack you one in the mush for being patronising

 

Mmm. If I started a conversation with the words "Honey sweetie", Mrs T would most likely look at me suspiciously and think either I'd done something daft (again), or I wanted something.

 

I blame the Yorkie bars

 

Just to be clear Armandii. Do you mean large, rather hirsute blokes who drive lorries, or blokes who drive big hairy lorries?
