My wife had just finished doing the Facebook thing on our laptop.
"Okay, I'm going to bed. How do I turn the computer off", she asked.
"Oh, just close the lid. That'll do it.", I replied.
She paused. "I don't know how to do that."

I think I speak for many guys when I say your blog always helps me calm down a bit after my wife does something so ridiculously idiotic! Please keep up the blog!
Today I learned that my wife had thrown away hundreds of dollars worth of our own perfectly good plumbing and electrical parts, including pipe fittings and valves for 4" pipes, pressure meters, and four electric heating elements including one that was three feet long. These had been set aside by a plumber who was performaning a remodel on our heating system, and our own old parts were supposed to be re-used to save money. Flabbergasted, I asked her why she'd discarded them. She said she had been anxious because there was "too much stuff in the garage".
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
i know you seem from a continent away but i'd like to leave the following...my wife suggested i might like to shop for some new shoes...i said i'd love to and left the house wearing training shoes, she said at home, i arrived back not having found any shoes my size to discover my own shoes had been buried in the back garden...
...after two days of digging, i found them and naturally turned to her and said 'i love you darling more than death...' she said, ' go on then, prove it, go and play in the traffic...
this is a wife you can treasure more than the pearls in the ocean
um, yeah . . . ouch.
What do you love about this woman? I have read all of your entries and I do not understand what possessed you to marry such a human being. The only reason I can conjure up is that she is ridiculously attractive. Which is, of course, a trait that fades with time. I am writing this in part with compassion, except that I am not married, and that the genders of who is an idiot and who is not are reversed. Reading this, however, is reassuring in the sense that my long-term boyfriend is, thankfully, not the stupidest person alive. But, lacking the conversational ability I feel is necessary for a meaningful relationship, we are in discussions to separate. I cannot live with it as it is, how do you do it?? Who do you talk to?? What do you do together besides have sex? Have you ever truly been in love?? As in, connected to a woman on a deeper level beyond the visceral? I apologize if any of this is taken harshly - I'm blaming my candid nature here on the anonymity of the internet. Please answer my questions if you can, I am curious!
What you have to understand is that you are only seeing my ranting and raving, and not the day-to-day interaction of our lives. You may notice that I do not post all that often. This is because these events, while frustrating, do not happen all that often, or at least they do not warrant a new post.
I do love her dearly. Yes, she is attractive, but she is also funny, loyal, frugal, and excellent with our children. The fact that I write this at all means that I find her occasional goofiness amusing and not malicious. We have been married for several years, and I find that we are falling more in love with each other with each passing year. For her, I think she is coming to trust me more and more, and I am learning to look past the surface and see her soul, which is pure and beautiful.
I have been in love before, but I have never had the anything close to love I have for my wife.
Did we marry the same woman!? Sounds just like my wife. If I could invest all the money value of what mine has tossed to make space or just didn't occur to her.... I could retire 15 years sooner!
