Women venting about men

[Teflon Billy]

My wife is also like cuteasaurus, very worrisome, basically if she not worried about something than something is wrong while I'm so laid back I'm nearly dead but somehow we manage to make it work.

We are basically the same. I think, if left to her own devices, my wife would live her life in a constant state of percieved crisis.

It sounds ridiculous, but one of my main controbutions to making our thing work is to go "look, calm down. This isn't a big deal" about stuff that, well, isn't.

After about 3 or 4 months of realizing that there was virtually nothing that I would absently think about that was particularly profound, the question kind of faded away.

5 years and counting... I honestly answer yet she seems, and is, interested.

Of course imaging someone naked, yeah, we don't tell her about that anymore...

I'd say you were a thirty-something Canadian male who thinks too much about Aquaman.

Dude, why did you have to bring me in to this?

Well the wife is in overtime right now.... I'm getting out of the service. I have like 32 days left, I really don't know how many days I have left (people at work count for me cause I'm so laid back), I'm going to be unemployed, minus unemployment, we are going to my home Kansas City, MO. We have free room and board, her work will transfer her and she will still be full time.

All in all it’s not that bad, but well, I can see the look and get asked, "aren't you worried?" (Nope, the important stuff is covered, cannot change what is going on, and everything is minor.)

LOL Hail brother and well-met

My wife has stopped asking "what are you thinking" when I am just kind of sitting there quietly. She used to a lot and I found it very aggravating, and she found myanswer "nothing" to be wholly unsatisfactory.

So I started telling her.

"That Episode of Gilligans Island with the Japanese Guy in the Mini-Sub"
"What the old 20 Dollar bill looked like"
"Imagining Paige Davis naked"
"A Boxing PPV from last year"
"How difficult it would be to hook an electric lighter into the BBQ"
"William Shatner's cover of 'Common People'..."

After about 3 or 4 months of realizing that there was virtually nothing that I would absently think about that was particularly profound, the question kind of faded away.

I think we are both happier now. Her curiosity has been sated and my daydreaming has been revealed for what it is: inconsequential.

Y'know, I've never undestood that whole "what are you thinking" behavior. If someone asked me what I was thinking I'd probably come up with some equally lame stuff, so I wouldn't be surprised if my man told me some of those things you mention, Tef. I also don't understand the hypothetical question thing ("honey, if I died tomorrow, would you remarry?"), or the terrifying "honey, does this make me look fat?". Like I would trust a man's opinion about my appearance when I'm not wearing revealing lingerie!

My ex-husband used to tell me he was literally thinking about nothing. But then he was a chronic paranoid schizophrenic. I don't generally want to know what my man is thinking about when he's just sitting pensively. He's probably thinking about porn.

Honey, do these pants make my butt look big?

No, your butt makes your butt look big.

("honey, if I died tomorrow, would you remarry?")

Of course! How else would the laundry get done. [J/K sorta. I got banned from the laundry early on.]

Like I would trust a man's opinion about my appearance when I'm not wearing revealing lingerie!

Actually, I'm rather good when it comes to picking clothes and jewelry… Jewelry, just cause I have an eye for “unique yet simple elegance” and clothes, well my wife stresses about her appearance a lot so I’ve become good a telling her what and what doesn’t work for her.

My wife also hates to shop, won’t buy herself something, so I pretty much tag along so she doesn’t come home with nothing, minus a frown, and a story of how cute something was 3 hours later.

("honey, if I died tomorrow, would you remarry?")

This one is easy, I snuffed it the first time it came up..."I don't know? How hot is she?"

Though my father insists I should've said something like "No, she doesn't believe in marriage"

or the terrifying "honey, does this make me look fat?"..

Equally easy. "no, it sure doesn't".

I will never understand that question. What other answer can you give? She's either fat or she isn't. What does the item of clothing have to do with anything?

If she's fat, it's not the clothes doing it. If she's not fat, the clothes aren't going to mess that up.

Also, it's a trap So I try not to fall for it.

I should've added that to my list above

::bitch-slaps Sebastian Francis::

Yup. There's actually women here...

It's in the single-digits, percentage-wise, and therefore statistically insignificant

Well, yeah the little part has got to go. (I'm mean that in a nonsexual content... I'm 6'4" LS is 5'4" Maybe 5'5" on a good day.)
