Tjeez CM, you drank too much coffee already? Let me rephrase my musings. "If two males live together as 'husband and wife' in the biblical sense, would the dialogue be similar? A 'back to the corner of the tent where you belong' type of 'discussion'." No, of course not, it's only women who have those kinds of discussions or at least think they do. I am pretty certain that when a man and a woman, when they were dating and preparing to get married, she never said to him, and you agree to do half the cooking, laundry and housework and I agree to contribute exactly the same to our household expenses as you do...and he said yes and they shook on. What really happened was she cooked and cleaned and took the allowance and sometime later became convinced that she was downtrodden, mostly because the female movement persuaded her that had happened. Next thing you know, hubby comes home from work all knackered and she's stood there with her arms folded, tapping her foot and saying, we need to talk. At that point it's game over. A bloke type of partner wouldn't do that because they both remember what the rules were at the outset and neither one wanted to arbitrarily change them, mid engagement. Personally I'd sue for breach of implied contract, there was offer, acceptance and remuneration ergo there was a contract. I guess your wife is not looking over your shoulder at the moment? Another question. How should one interpret the 'for better and for worse' ?

My wife knows better, anyway, we don't have such discussions in our house, we both understand our respective roles and we're both happy with them.

A lot of worthy sentiments about this morning, I feel better already. Time to go to the bank and resist the pleas and blandishments of the massage ladies I pass on the way. Such is life under the Covid cosh.

Such is life under the Covid cosh. Just say no. Look them in the eye and refuse their indecent proposals, we know you can do it.

A great incentive is that most are in my Soi and if I did succumb, this being the Coronation Street of the mysterious East everyone would know what I was doing as I was doing it. Plus they want paying you know, it don't come for free.

Thats the spirit old bean, you tell her, I bet she knows who wears the clogs in your household.

What with the 'for better and for worse' just stumbled over this "Today is my anniversary ... not going too well. Honest to God conversation over breakfast Wife: So, how long have we been married ... Me: (blank stare) 22 years I think. Wife: 24 years. Wife again: So when did you get your very first computer? Me: October 31st, 1992.....Packard Bell, Windows 3.1, Sound blaster. Best b-day present my parents ever got me. Now I'm at the flower shop right now to solve this mess. "

I apologise if I have asked this before but does anyone know the Thai for "golden shower".
The pronunciation, in phonetical English of course, will suffice.
Anybody who is reluctant to publicly acknowledge he is familiar with such things is welcome to pm me.

One of my cousins in Australia just posted a picture on FB with a smiling older guy with written above "I've made some terrible life choices over the years" and below "Just kidding. I'm married and not allowed to make decisions"
