Quote: MJ, I was royally p!ssed off at my wife this morning (over everything, not anything in particular). Hearing from you helped knock me back over to the understanding side a bit. So now I'm just p!ssed. I think that will serve me well today, given my recent track record.
Glad to be of help. Low level p*ssed might not be the worst state for you to act from just as long as you don't become p*ssy, subtle but important difference from the female POV. John Wayne might get p*ssed but he wouldn't get p*ssy.
Another hint I would pass along is that you shouldn't let on to your W that you miss her for her meal planning and childcare skills and other things along that line. It will potentially cause her to have thoughts like "Yeah, you miss me. You miss me like Mr.Brady would miss Alice the Maid." and a vision of an unfun life full of household chores and no sex would appear to her. OTOH, if you were to bake cookies with the kids while you had them, she would probably regret not being able to be part of the homey, family fun and be sort of admiring of your ability to create it without her. Type 7s can't stand to miss out on fun.
