 
A woman awoke during the night to find that her husband was not in bed.
She put on her robe and went downstairs. He was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appeared to be deep in thought, just staring at the wall. She saw him wipe a tear from his eye and take a sip of his coffee.
"What's the matter dear? Why are you down here at this time of night?" she asked.
"Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating and you were only 16?" he asked.
"Yes I do." she replied.
"Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?"
"Yes I remember."
"Do you remember your father when he shoved that shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter or spend twenty years in jail'?"
"Yes I do", she replied. He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, " You know I would have gotten out today." 🙁

I split up with my wife 20 years ago.
I thanked the bloke for taking her off my hands.
Needless to say he and she were steaming when she found out what I had said.

Marriage is great when its working ok.
But when one person clearly isnt happy and starts disappearing for days on end and you cant work it out its time to call it a day.
Sometimes women see all their mates getting divorced and think they are missing out on something. Grass isnt always greener on the other side.
I dont miss the company as I am usually busy with a hobby.
I no longer have to feel guilty about not being with her 24/7.

My wife and I reached the 35th anniversary of our marriage in July.
Two of the happiest years in my life! 😀

My ex-wife was a good wife-- to me and a few other men at the same time.
I missed her for awhile after I kicked her out- for about 2 milliseconds.

My wife and I may fight like cats and dogs but we also love like wolves and puddy cats. The secret I learned a 1000 years ago was taught to me by a very wise man who said, don't forget to kiss your wife passionately at least once a day. I also learned that bonus points have an expiry date and no matter how many have been accumulated, they can all go the way of a Ponzi scheme in a matter of minutes so use them wisely. I also know that your MIL is not 100% bad if you don't actually speak. Your FIL will be your ally if you stick to that. A bottle of whisky on family night, given to him without others seeing, is also good.
Here, let's work on that JP. It does not work the way men:
- hope it does.
- think it should.
- logically draw no other conclusion.
There, I have now officially separated the sexes and alienated any female participant on this forum. My bad.
When she returns from work this evening, I am going to ask my dear wife to spank me. We both get what we want and she'll have no idea why I am smiling while being punished for my bad.
OT: Anyone who thinks this post is kinda out there, get over it, my sideline has nothing to do with audio, even though there is much humour in it as well, just look at any cable thread.
Well I am glad it works amongst men 🙂 My most recent spiritual gains on the female front were rather disappointing again so I am a happy Einzelgänger.
In my observations I think I notice logic to be almost 100% accepted by men and only 33% of women understanding something of it. Today I went to the Arzt here and at 8:30 I entered the building. Panic amongst the assistants (all female) as the power had just gone. This with vaccines in the fridges... I asked permission (it IS Germany and I am a just a visitor) and found out which group out of 14 had the problem. The assistants looked at me if I was designing a rocket motor. I explained in short terms every step. They were very concerned about the printer not working.
Of course it was exactly the group where the fridges where the vaccines were kept were connected to. I asked for an extension cable. Strange facial expressions. No action. They suggested to wait for the doctor. Then I ordered one of them to get an extension cord which she got in only 5 minutes (!). I plugged in the fridges with the cable to a group that did not switch off and things were OK again. When I left they still looked as if I had done something terrible and terribly unresponsible 😀 In my perception I saved quite some blood and vaccines and offered real help but hey, I am just a man.

Okay JP, I know you are a very smart man (please send $10 to my Paypal account for that comment)
I need you to tell me the purpose of the last two letters in that quoted word. Your flag is French but you might have a better answer than some others I have asked the same question.
If you have no good answer I ask that you add another $10 to that deposit.
I'll have to come back to this later but notice the edit time for JP and my post time. He's added a whole 'nother story since I posted. Back later on.
