    Yuletide marriage guidance

    At this time of forced proximity to our nearest and dearest, here's a few hints and tips for you gentlemen.

    1) Think about the ratio of positive to negative things you say to your partner

    If all you've said over the last two days is:

    You've loaded the dishwasher wrong
    The brussel sprouts could have done with a bit longer
    You've cross threaded the lid on the cranberry jelly
    Did you have to put the sandwich toaster there?
    You're treading mud into the carpet
    Who finished the toilet paper and didn't bring a new one up?
    You've put the butter back in the wrong place
    You've tipped the Pringles sideways
    Can you shut the door? You're always leaving it open


    Don't be surprised if she doesn't fancy nookie tonight. (Or ever.)

    Fly solo during the Christmas holidays, you know it makes sense.
    Me, me, me...

          I've committed the cardinal sin of reheating her tea when it goes lukewarm in the micro (which she accepts) but using an old cracked scabby saucer to put the cup on (I don't know why I do this, but she hates me doing it) - forgot to take it out, now she's seen it and we have an 'atmos'....

          She's gone bed early, and I'm on Facebook looking for old girlfriends just to cover my ass....

            Friends with benefits, own space, no grief.

              Why is divorce so expensive?

                I've put up with him for 23 and a bit years - I'm holding out for my long service award.
