When I was reading your thread, I noticed Starsky's post referring to the three things his wife didn't want to miss. I liked the first one so much, because its exactly what I have said and feel, that I decided maybe I should remind my W of this when I saw her today.
Of course, 2x4 myself , after I said it, I realized its kind of a threat, even though its a truth dart I think.
This should have been brought up IN CONTEXT, preferably a response to your wife saying something about remaining friends. To initiate this convo on your own, out of the blue . . . yeah, gonna come across as a threat, or at least as some tactic.
