I know better than to say anthing other than I have seen this page. Anything else will result in my supper being burnt, my bed being ice cold, and as soon as I take a shower she will do the dishes (useing the hot water). She of coures being the "boss" and keeper of the purse string.

She's probably trying to say "pay attention some more".

My wife has nothing to complain about in the paying attention department. She is doted upon, spoiled rotten and has every spare moment of my time. I've never missed a b-day, valentines day or anniversary and I even acknowledge the anniversary of our first date every year. She gets flowers for no reason, love notes in her e-mail box and time to do the things she wants to do with her friends while I stay home with the young-uns when my oldest daughter isn't available to babysit. More attention indeed.

Far from perfect. But I'm working on it. It isn't a one sided relationship, though. She's a good woman and I do my best to take care of her.
My first wife used to get sooo pissed when her girlfriends would ask if she wanted to trade (not "swap") husbands. Then I'd have to listen to the old "Every one thinks you're so perfect" speech. Her parents didn't help any either. She'd complain to them about an argument and their first question was always "Well, what did you do this time?" Ah, well, life with a manic depressive who refused treatment can be so much fun:mad:

Ah ha, my suspicions were correct. He does not exist. But then again, I already knew I was right, cause women are always right, right? :)
