My best friend's father, who is also a minister & married my wife and I, has been happily married for nearly 40 years. His last words of advice to me prior to walking up to the alter, awaiting my bride:
"Repeat after me: 'Yes, Dear.'"

"Repeat after me: 'Yes, Dear.'"

Wife: "Honey....."
Husband: "No, you look beautiful!"
Wife: "Thanks, Hon. But I just wanted to know where you placed the TV remote."

"Yes, Dear" means you have stopped listening, it doesn't mean you agree. :fork:

After 21 + years of marriage:
"How do I look?"
"Fine" ,usually said before he even looks up.
If I want an honest opinion I ask the girls:
"How do I look?"
15 y/o- "that shirt doesn't go"...what kind of shirt doesn't "go" with jeans?
"How do I look?"
8 y/o- "If you dyed your grey hair you wouldn't look so old"
If I like it it looks fine.

*Decides not to report anything* :zipit:
In the end, I must agree with my fellow member, mkepcotmgmak. Many a times I feel caught between a rock and a hard place in regards to how to best communicate with my DW.
Truth: Sometimes (many times?) taken the wrong way, perhaps as a personal attack on her "being". (See: Do I look fat?)
Fib: Taken as being a big, fat liar.
Agreeable: Interpreted as being spineless, or as metioned by Madaline, someone who doesn't listen anymore.
Feign ignorance ("What? Sorry I didn't hear you"): Unattentive or uncaring or worse
In the end, I do find "Yes, Dear" the most effective unless it's something that I completely need impose veto power over.

This is why I just got engaged to an 18-year-old blind and deaf nymphomaniac. As long as I wear cologne and keep the living room floor clear of large objects, she doesn't complain about a thing.

If women are going to ask the "do I look fat" question they should be able to take whatever answer you give...as long as its the truth....
Thats why I never hesitate to say..."yes you look fat...maybe you should try on something else" (of coarse I stand as far as possible...in case I need to run)....but then again if an argument comes about as a result of my truthful remark....I never lose too many arguments....so I'm not intimidated...:kiss:
As for the original post...its incredible to see the things women go through.....NOW I KNOW WHY WOMEN ARE SO CRANKY......thankfully we men die sooner....so we get liberated in a sense.....which adds that item to the list....women live longer than men.....
:lol:

Okay so the truth is actually better than lying, I suppose. But at least do it nicely. Don't be like "yes you look fat, why don't you put on a moo moo!" You should definitely say "you i think the outfit would look better if you were to wear this" or "it would be much more flattering to your already sexy figure if you wore this" See that's nice! Nice is important.
And since men die sooner, it gives us one less thing to be cranky about. At least now, we'll be able to find the remote and watch something other than Sportscenter :lol:

A man was sick and tired of going to work
every day while his wife
stayed
home. He wanted her to see what he went
through so he prayed:
"Dear Lord:
I go to work every day and put in 8 hours
while my wife merely stays at
home. I want her to know what I go
through, so please allow her body to
switch with mine for a day. Amen."
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the
man's wish. The next
morning, sure
enough, the man awoke as a woman. He
arose, cooked breakfast for his
mate,
awakened the kids, set out their school
clothes, fed them breakfast,
packed
lunches, drove them to school, came
home and picked up the dry
cleaning, took it to the cleaners and
stopped at the bank to make a deposit,
went grocery shopping, then drove home to
put away the groceries,
paid the
bills and balanced the check book. He
cleaned the cat's litter box
and
bathed the dog. Then it was already 1
P.M. and he hurried to make
the beds,
do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep
and mop the kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up the kids and
got into an argument with
them on
the way home. Set out milk and cookies
and got the kids organized to
do
their homework, then set up the ironing
board and watched TV while
he did
the ironing. At 4:30 he began peeling
potatoes and washing
vegetables for
salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped
fresh beans for supper.
After
supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the
dishwasher, folded laundry,
bathed the kids, and put them to bed.
At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though
his daily chores weren't
finished, he
went to bed where he was expected to make
love which he managed to
get
through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and
immediately knelt by the bed and
said, "Lord,
I don't know what I was thinking. I was
so wrong to envy my wife's
being
able to stay home all day. Please, oh
please, let us trade back."
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom,
replied, "My son, I feel you have
learned
your lesson and I will be happy to change
things back to the way
they were.
You'll just have to wait nine months,
though. You got pregnant last
night."
