Maybe just a wacky little theory but it seems to me that both of your wives have strong but opposing personalities. Maybe you've been trying to beat MsHD at her own game a little too much and you might do better by playing it more like your ex might, if you can construct that in a way that wouldn't be dysfunctional. MsHD is like SuperCop and you are not quite SuperCop. Maybe you should be SuperRobber instead. That might be more sexy. Does this make sense?
