Hi HD, It was out of a real book, so I can't send the link. I do think that, in this instance, having it be your biological child that she raised from birth would make a difference. She can always blame your sons' behavior on their mother, you know?
Oh well, it doesn't matter. I just found it interesting and wondered if your wife would have had a similar reaction.
As far as your convo from last weekend, wow, HD I think you are really on to something. If she is sounding (dare I say it?) almost contrite b/c she won't ML to you then you are doing something right. Whatever you're doing, keep it up. She's melting! I don't think she's on her way to becoming HD, but I think the seed is being planted in her brain that perhaps this is not the right way to go about being married.
