H4U, Hey! Well, it sounds like are ahead of the game for the most part!
I don't know what it is about some of us women. We really don't take compliments well. Maybe instead of saying "You're so smart. Thanks for the tip." you could say "Thanks for reminding me" and leave the smart part out. Of course you think she's smart. Otherwise you probably wouldn't have married her. It would sound weird for H to tell me I'm smart. He might tell me "I didn't think about that" or "Thanks for reminding me" but "you're so smart. thanks for the tip."? Never in a million years and I would think it was weird if he did. Maybe just me. And I am certainly not criticizing...I am just saying, to a woman, I think it sounds weird...maybe it's one of those things that men want to hear so they automatically think women want to hear it too??
Dunno.
Man, you women . . . You tell us you don't want to just be complimented on your LOOKS, but when we do something like compliment you for being smart, you think it's weird???
