MrsNOP,

I suspect you're right, but I really don't have this problem in my relationship with the fetching MRS. Chocolateeyes. She is generally kind and considerate, and respectful, unless of course you want to say it's "disrespectful" to not want to ML to her husband, or even kiss him passionately, or give him a nice back-scratch.

I see slivers of it, when she's in an especially irritable mood, but I can honestly say that's not the problem in our house.

But I do see the dynamics you're describing played out in many of the other HD households on this board.

Choc.
