ProphetJoe the Irreverent quibbed this
I bet there are days you could substitute Christine’s name for Jennifer’s name
Seriously, though, the guy’s a real
in my book. As a husband, you don’t tell your wife “either the cat goes, or I go” — it gives her too much power and control. A real man would have made the cat “disappear”, claimed it ran away because the wife left the window open, then played on her sympathy and guilt for more sex…
So sayeth the Oracle of ProphetJoe…
Mara the Peacemaker scribbled
Forget, as a spouse, you don’t tell the other such craziness. Seriously, there are times when you have to take matters into your own hands. Me going or the cat going wouldn’t have even be an option. Case in point: Chris loves video games. I don’t mind him playing them (and some of them are pretty entertaining such as God of War, etc), but he knows that the day I feel like I have to compete with that game is the day said game comes up missing.
Christopher the Pyro got all philosophical
Christine left her cat in my care…
The cat makes her happy when she is extremely pissed at me.. otherwise the cat would have gone a long long long time ago.
Christine the Lioness thought this
Let’s not forget that Christopher ENCOURAGED me to get a kitten after my other one died (I mourned his loss for a year until Christopher said “I think it’s time for you to get another cat”) because he wanted me to have something to sleep with so I wouldn’t bitch at him about never spending the night with me.
And we shall see how kitty fares in his care… When I get home and ask her how things went, her response will have a lot to do with whether I believe Christopher could ever be responsible enough to be a father to “real” kids… not that Meisha isn’t a real kid… but I mean the human kind…
ProphetJoe the Irreverent spake, and sayeth
So… basically… what you’re saying is: “If the
ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy” — sounds like a marriage
