Somehow, we men are supposed to know when that "some of the time" is.

No you are NOT. The complete explanation if that if you push SOME of the time you will get your way and SOME of the time you won't. I think THAT'S the main point. Not that you should be able to figure out when the "some of the time" is but that you can HANDLE the "some of the time" where an extra push won't work.

By the way men can be frustrating too. At least my XH was frustrating and complicated.




But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads? ~Albert Camus
