The funniest part was that she started to apologize by saying "I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be your mother." That led to both eyebrows being raised. "I'm sorry, maybe I was."
What is it that irritates them if we don't eat our vegetables?
I think it's the same kind of thing as when men try to 'fix' our problems instead of listening to them. Men 'fix'. We 'nurture'. But at the same time as it's hardwired in (ie - 'eat your vegetables'), I think we're alot better off in the end if it is resisted, just like you did Pinhead. Because what it comes down to is that we want a man, not a little boy to have to mother!
Some say...that he is a CIA experiment that went wrong, and that he only eats cheese. All we know is, he's called The Pinhead!
You haven't passed any tests. Matter of fact you failed the only test here that counted..
She told you months ago she hasn't loved you for the past ten years and she wanted you out of the house..
You are STILL in the house and still trying and still not getting back much of anything. You are being the typical BS who thinks if the WS is saying nothing about the relationship then that means they have changed their mind...
You are showing nothing but weakness by staying and not moving on without her. You continue to do what she wants when she wants. So no, you haven't passed any test that you think you may have passed. You are just fooling yourself. Your choice. However, the last thing we know is that she wants you out and she hasn't loved you for ten years. You should be basing your life on those statements. You aren't listening. Head in the sand. This will never change untili you get some backbone and leave. Men who try to win women who tell them they don't like, love or are attracted to them are desinted for failure in the end. I have seen it a thousand times and counting. You are fooling yourself.
She visibly shrank (embarassment), was upset and angry on the way home, and she occassionally brings it back up if she is angry.
It is one of two "restaurant incidents" that she resents to this day
The other was at a place in the zoo and involves a comment on the signs posted around the zoo that tell you not to "feed or molest the animals". When presented with the option for desert, I asked for the bill because "we were in a hurry to get back to feeding and molesting the animals". Not funny apparently.
Apparently the same thing is true about alligators:
No, actually the smart man KNOWS his wife so well that he understands and controls himself and his comments because he knows what embarrasses her and what doesnt'. He CARES about how SHE feels about his jokes and he learns when and how to joke around her...
If you remember, then ending of "When Harry Met Sally" he almost lost her forever because of his failure to understand and be sensitive to her feelings...
It took her leaving him and dumping him before he finally woke up....
