Dear Hairy,

It's been a couple of days now since your W went off on you. You might want to try the following:

"Honey, the other night you got really mad at me while we were watching TV. I'm sorry if I offended you, and I'll try not to do it again."

What does this accomplish? She knows she overreacted and she kind of hopes you'll sweep it under the rug. By mentioning it now, she'll know that it really did bother you and that you are paying attention to her. ALL her rants are designed to get your attention.

You'll outbhuddist her.
