Wife in Major MLC...Looking to Vent

[bombardier50]

Sleeper...0410am? Ditto on needing the laugh. Because last evening...my gawd. Straight out of the MLC textbook.

My little Klingon comes home from work. I have just finished working out and making a nice dinner. I try to engage the Klingon in harmless, non-confrontational small talk. She brushes the small talk aside, and for the rest of the evening, it was attack-attack-attack, one photon torpedo after another.

I did not raise my shields. I did not return fire. Instead, I nodded my head, listened intently, told her "I hear what you're saying", "I understand why you might feel that way", etc., etc.

The Klingon's frustration builds. She reaches back deep into her arsenal and hurls small fireballs from 10, 15, 20 years ago. Still, I refuse to return fire.

Finally, she loads and fires her ultimate weapon...

"YOU JUST MARRIED ME FOR THE SEX!@#$"

Me: Honey, aren't you tired? You sound like you had a long day at work. I don't want you to go to bed all wound up and angry tonight. You need to get your rest.

Klingon: OH...SO NOW YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK ANYMORE! Well it's too late! I'm already angry!

Me: Well, I'm sorry you're angry. Goodnight

And then she went downstairs to chat with her fellow Klingon EA "friend", probably to tell him what a jerk I was all night and how nice it is to talk to someone who isn't so confrontational.

Maybe someday Scotty will beam me up to a nicer planet...
