How do you get out of the dog house?

[dieseldog]

Don't give positive reinforcement to "bad behavior". IMHO, her response is bad behavior. If you give flowers/candy/expensive dinner in response to her emotional blackmail, you're going to get in the habit of having to do it every time she decides to get in a snit. Sorry, I don't buy into that. You didn't screw up.

And yes, I'm married (seventeen years, and one month exactly). I agree with the man who said to save the flowers for when she's not already upset.

seriously, to all those that lost their balls years ago, why do you think affairs happen? do you hear them say "oh i needed to go fxxx that biker because my husband didn't give me candy when i chucked a hissy fit"

nope usually it's through neglect or LACK OF EXCITEMENT.

how can you possibly excite her if you don't have the balls to stand up and not suck up with the flowers and the jewellery. she'll eventually find someone that doesn't supplicate to her and fark them. chicks want the dominant male... that's millions of years of evolution... you don't think 200 years of social convention is going to overcome that do you?

how could you possibly be the alpha male if you suck up because she fxxxed up?

You may as well buy that new truck you wanted.

Men are bad.(so my wife tells me)

Well said. I ended going with the keeping my balls routine. Pretty much ignored her until she came about and said she was sorry for behaving like a little girl. My alpha male status is firmly in place . Thank you all for all the good info.

So, instead of you practicing your cunning linguist skills, she had to practice her fellashio'n?

Glad to hear ya still have the clackers attached. Glad to also hear that she also realized that she was acting childish.

Heh BR_AU, I chuckle at alot of your relationship cynicism, but that was well-put

 

[dieseldog]

Now that she has come to her senses and realized how petty she had been and came to you with understanding, it's time for some positive reinforcement. Time for the Godiva chocolates, fine wine, candle light, softly-spoken endearments . . . . and growling-2F action. Have a nice night.

Biff... I forgot to add that after I gave my sage advise on how to be a man.... I took out the trash, fed the dog, emptied the dish washer so I could fill it again with the dinner dishes from the dinner I made right after I returned from the market which was the next stop after returning three chick flicks that I had to watch before I picked up the dry cleaning and washed the little ladies car then to return to change the sheets and fold the linnens that I forgot to fold yesterday because I was up till past midnight scrubbing the kitchen and bathroom floors and toilets and throwing in three loads of wash right after I made the beds and vacumed the basement, main floor and upstairs so I could dust and get the dust bunnies from under the master bed and both of the kid's rooms which hadn't been done since last week because I was buisy writing three lesson plans for the college courses I teach in my spare time... And I "Still don't get enough done around the house and need to get another job because I need to make more money". Biff, if you have a chance, would you send me the plans to the dog house?
