Stuff they never tell you about marriage
Published April 10th, 2008 in Dialogue, Marriage, Tricia.I am laying on the bed, staring absently at the ceiling. My wife is sitting on the edge of the bed with her laptop,
Me: Tricia.
Tricia: Yes.
Me: I was just wondering…
Tricia: Yes.
Me: …If you should give me a full body massage.
Tricia: Well let me tell you. That ain’t gonna happen.
Me (under my breath): What the hell did I get married for?
Tricia: What?
Me: Huh… I said, seven times nine is sixty three.
Tricia: Uh huh.
Man’s First Rule of Marriage: “It ain’t about you.”
Man’s Second Rule of Marriage: “Women make the rules.”
My wife has been happily married for eleven years.
So I know what I’m talking about.
