"Never mind..."
 

My wife and I played out this scenario last night while preparing dinner together; fortunately, the dinner and wine were excellent (grilled rib-eyes, chilled black bean mango salad, and a Banfi Brunello di Montalcino) and peace had been restored by the time we finished eating. ;)

And so it goes...

A man is a person who, if a woman says, "Never mind, I'll do it myself,"...lets her.

A woman is a person who, if she says to a man, "Never mind, I'll do it myself," and he lets her...gets mad.

A man is a person who, if a woman says to him, "Never mind, I'll do it myself," and he lets her and she gets mad says..."What are you mad about, NOW!?"

A woman is a person who, if she says to a man, "Never mind, I'll do it myself," and he lets her and she gets mad, and he says, "Now what are you mad about?" says..."If you don't know, I'm not going to tell you."

I could NEVER have (get away with) this conversation at my house.

My wife asks me to do something (housekeeping wise) then hovers over me and tells me how it should be done!

"Fine." is much more ominous...

It's all in the training.

Sir Richard, that is sooo true!
Reminds me of the analogy that my BF gave:
Woman sitting at bar, playing eyesoccer with a handsome guy when suddenly she notices his eyes travel to her breasts
She sits a little more erect so they jut out more and smiles coyly as she looks away.
He continues to linger his gaze on her ample bossom as her eyes meet his again and then...
She is thinking...."oh he is still looking at my boobs. <pause>
hhmmm, i hope my boobs look good in this bra <pause>
oh boy, do my boobs look too big in this bra?
i hope he likes large breasts
oh no....what if he thinks they are TOO big
(meanwhile, handsome guy is still longingly looking at her breasts)
He probably thinks I look too fat cuz of my large boobs
I wish I had just stayed home tonite!!!! <panic and anger setting in and self loathing follows>
Meanwhile, he is just thinking about how that bra is going to look on the floor next to his bed! :D

this is a daily occurrence in my household.

so far I'm 2 for 3

In our house, when she says "nothing is wrong" it really means I should make every effort short of water-boarding her to find out if something is wrong. When I say "nothing is wrong" in most cases it means NOTHING IS WRONG and in a few cases it means I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. Oh the joys of interpersonal communication:rolleyes:.

I'll bring it up tonight over Chili and an Aussie Shiraz.:D

Yes.

Thats what I say! LOL But apparantly there are women out there that get into that thinking... :D
