    My husband would tell everyone he loved that I didn’t nag him. I’d ask him once or twice to do something, if he didn’t I’d pay someone. Worked like a charm as long as he didn’t find out what it cost him.

    It has always amazed me that I have a “honey do” list and my wife does not. I’ve asked her about this and she just says it’s because I know how to do task and she doesn’t. OK, but I wasn’t born with this knowledge. There is an understanding that things will get done but it is on my terms if I’m the one that is going to do it. If that isn’t acceptable then it might be time to learn how to do it.

      Common Sense…you are way to reasonable and logical. I know exactly what you are talking about. However, when I stop to explain how something works and how she can fix it very quickly and easily if ever breaks down again, she says…”I don’t know what you’re talking about, I don’t want to know and I don’t care… so just forget it! If you don’t want to fix it…FINE… I’ll call somebody to fix it!!” Then I’ll calmly try to explain that it would cost more to call a repairman than it’s worth…and this logic typically results in her walking away (briskly) seething with anger, as if I tried to start a fight by explaining how something works? Go figure. -Jack

    I always thought those “honey do” lists existed just so the guys could make jokes at their wives expense at the next block party.

    My preference is a partnership in most cases.

    Dewey: “Touchy Touchy never said it was!”

    Sure youdid. see:

    I just git er done cowboy so why the statement?

    Maybe you just don’t realize how contentious you are most of the time?

    Ohhh..so it isn’t just a joke.

    Well, just so the other side is adequately represented, I once asked how long I should have to wait for something to get done and pointed out that it had been eight years on one item. If I could do it myself I would and I won’t hire anyone else to do it…LOL, patience is a virtue?

    And as long as we are being semi-serious, how many things around the house get done week after week without either partner needing reminding?

    I bet we all have more to celebrate and I sure wish I had realized that sooner. Apparently my guy thinks so too…he’s realized there are benefits to doing things without even being asked. The mission for all of you warriors/heroes, should you decide to accept it, is to eliminate, kill, annihilate the honey-do list!

    RHT447 thanks for sharing. I love relationship gurus; they are always very entertaining as well as insightful.

    After watching I realize there has always been something strange with me. I’ve always had (And I treasure) my nothing box.

    Don’t get me wrong, when I’m stressed I fit the female picture…all the upset and emotion spills out and I don’t want advice…I don’t even want anyone to listen sometimes. BUT, I do want to retreat and think about absolutely nothing. The difference I guess is that retreat to the nothing box is impossible when I’m stressed without the emotion dump!

    This anomaly may explain those eight years, though.
