Wives
I was out shopping today and came across a guy in a black t-shirt. He was quite good looking, in that rugged, beard wearing way that I enjoy watching. A little while later, after I had lifted 4 40 litre bags of compost onto my cart and was trekking to the checkout, he’s right in front of me. On the back of his t-shirt is this…
If you’re in the woods and you say something and your wife doesn’t hear you, are you still wrong?
I cracked up. As we both got to the checkout I couldn’t resist asking the answer. He looked at me and smiled and said,
Luv, I’ve been wrong since the day I met her.
and then he began to laugh. I didn’t know quite what to say. I was hoping he was just teasing, but maybe he wasn’t. All I could think of was that if it was true and he was always wrong, why does he stay in that relationship?
Does “til death do us part” require us to put up with abuse? I don’t think so. Maybe that’s just a cop out for me but I don’t think we were born to be the subject for someone else to pick on.
Thoughts?
I like to think those are the men who listen to their wives and compromise. But maybe it is his mind set that he will say, always and forever, “You’re right honey. I was wrong.”
A lot of people do a lot of things to stay married.
