The chocolate cake thing was a reference to last year's Valentine's Day.
HD, I remembered that "dark chocolate" cake incident all year.
BB was watching a "mad man show/men are bad" on TV last night. I used to try to convince BB maybe a few men are badies. No more. I said good, "I want to see how he kills his W.
As the show progressed, BB kept going on about how som men abuse their W, I added "And they get away with it. Some even murder 2 or 3 wives before they find the right woman." All in jest of course.
HD, playing the game with your W, by her rules or me playing the game by BB's imaginary rules is horse pucky, doesn't work. The more you try to convince someone you are correct using their logic, the more you validate that their way of thinking is correct.
I am getting to the point where I consider BB's POV but also put more weight on the word consider than the concept that I have to somehow honor her POV over my POV.
This probally doesn't help much so I will mostly read for a while.
My computer screws for a few days and I come back to the SSM forum with more to read than I can in a day or two.
I had to partition and install Windows on the harddrive over 15 times before everything sort of works. So much for getting a computer (3 years ago) with a propiteary version of Windos XP and matching XP up with a chip (the chip had some XP instructions in it) on the mother board.
