After 45 years of a sometimes very rocky marriage, I figure any fight I walk away from physically unscathed is a win for me. Since she knows where the guns are and how to load and handle them, I try to realize where the line in the sand is.... sometimes.... And that old saying "happy wife, happy life"? Bunch of BS- placating a woman to keep the peace but making yourself miserable all the time isn't what I call a happy life. Kissing a woman's ass in order to, well, kiss her other close by parts just doesn't seem to be working for most guys I know, especially me.... Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.

But our daughter.... I was paying her to do chores and we would argue over money and details. She is a better at verbal battle than any attorney I have argued with.

But then I do not drink, nor fug around, and neither does she. So what is there to fight about? People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

She proceeded to also apologize( that has been a tough nut to crack over the 16 years)and Darned if it didn’t turn out better than normal( me being pissed off for the next week).

The 29 years with this one has been conflict free. I know every hot button she has, and I just don't push 'em. Sam......

There have been some fights in nearly 24 years, and I would say the worst ones we had were over wedding plans, lol. I suppose if score were being kept, we would be at about 50-50, but there really isn't all that much I gaf about. Life is what you make of it, and that wasn't a very hard lesson to learn.
