Yeah. One of those men that gets things done while a women stands
nearby, reciting a list of reasons why what he's doing can't be done.

Back when we were younger I used to try logic - "here's the hammer,
you fix it!" Nope, she don't fall for that, tells me that her side of
the bargain was cooking and having kids, and damn but I can't do
either.

After forty-something years though we've sort of come to a solution.
She still rants and rages and I don't listen. Keeps us both happy.

I'm very fortunate to have a wife who isn't at all like the one I
described above.

Nah...most women who liveaboard do more than thier fair share of the
work..we were always taught as kids that if you start a job yourself, you
finish it yourself,ncluding the cleanup...You made the mess, you clean up
the mess...

Absolutely. We are not high-maintenance boat furniture.

Low maintenance, actually - self replicating too.

More couples should take lessons from the two of you....it's when people
start listening to each other that problems start...

I probably come from an older generation then you do but in my
formative years divorce was just never discussed, in fact it seemed
that divorced was a synonym for "Scarlet" when it was applied to
women. As a result, in most cases, divorce just wasn't an option so
couples learned to live together.

Certainly some men are probably not easy to live with but some women
aren't either with their constant carping. The difference is if you
are headed toward a lifetime relationship, as we thought we were, we
had a good look at what we were "getting into bed with". A survey made
amongst collage women in the early '50's showed that these middle
class maidens counted financial security far higher then a handsome,
swinging, stud.

So whether we had more consideration for "what will happen to the poor
kids" or not, we did learn to live with each other.
Cheers,

Bruce

You see, there you go making suppositions again. I let my wife clean
the fish..

Actually we share and share alike - She gets to stay home and clean
fish and have babies and I get to go out and thrash around to make
enough money to support her.

Pretty equitable, she reckons.
