Glagla:
you have the most amazing insight in married women's behavior
No, it was my husband's insight, but in all fairness he came up with that when I was pregnant, which didn't do wonders for my temperament. He's one of them brawny macho tops, but those times, he did what any proper, real man's man would do: he cowered in the corner like a little bitch as I stomped around the house in a blind rage for nine months. I did some pretty vexing things, too. Once I made him get up at 3 a.m. to scrub the floor behind the stove and fridge, because I was convinced there was a weird smell back there (there wasn't.)

Of course it helps if she is smart enough to realize when she's been illogical, boneheaded, vexing or just plain wrong and presents herself to you for corrective action.
Yeah, but if he had tried that while I was pregnant, his own mother would have been unable to identify his body.
