    Buy a dog. Taking the dog for a walk is a great excuse for departing the home in the event of a row or if you are in need of a pint!

    Even better is that our mutt is her guide dog, so if I take him walkies she can't follow...RESULT!

  • My advice would be to accept that even with the best and most accurate argument in the world you will never convince her that you are right about something. If a fight starts just summon up a large smelly fart and that will shut her up.

    It's my advice: that doesn't mean that I've ever done it or that it would work. It's just a new idea that I've just thought of that I fancy giving a go one day. It's about as silly and confusing as marriage, women and life are anyway, so why not?

    Loving some of this macho, jingoistic clap trap on here! Let the missus have a read, should be interesting.

    Just don't argue fella, it gets you nowhere and can cause irreparable damage! Talk things through, even with a touch of sarcasm if necessary, but it sure beats the hell out of a lose/lose argument.

    The secret ? Marry the right girl, after 54 years my favourite place in the World is anywhere that she is. We have survived loads of tiffs ( she stabbed me with a fork in the first month ), losing our son to leukaemia, being hard up a few times, but we have always pulled together when it mattered. Work hard at your marriage, the rewards are wonderful, best of luck.
  • so.....did you go through with it?
  • Thanks everyone - I had an amazing day and CAFC was mentioned in the speech. Well the wife as I call her now did spend Valentine's Day with me at the Valley a couple of seasons ago and it was her idea even though she doesn't understand football. To me that told me I had a keeper. I shall try to use some of the wisdom imparted on here! Cheers Lifers!!

    Congrats.

    Now give her back the key to the computer cabinet and get on with your chores.

    She doesn't understand football but she's a keeper - bit insulting to Ben Hamer I felt.

    Have a hobby that is absolutely nothing to do with her (as well as going to football)
    Don't forget your mates - you need to go out for beers regularly
    Buy a dishwasher if you can afford one
    Buy a pair of sunglasses or get very, very good at having a quick glance around you when the sun is out...

    Have a great day.

    This remains the best piece of advice for any relationship. Quality.
