El Presidente Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 No seriously........yes....I am in the doghouse again but I need to know whether I should push forward on what is good solid arguing ground (rare for me), or head to the florist and plan a strategic retreat. I am thinking victory is not worth the price......but I have never won an argument before
stevejb Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Yes. As long as you either are planning on breaking up with them anyways or the sex you put on them is the best they've ever had.
GoatLocker Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 And if you do win, be careful. It's probably a trick!

Everytime they receive them from then on they associate it with you doing something wrong. Do a little housework instead, therefore associating you doing housework with something wrong so you don't have to do any housework ever again. Good in theory. You just wouldn't want it to backfire. :-P

Colt45 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Sometimes a man's got to stand his ground - right is right. But given the birthday fiasco, the ground you stand on may be not be as solid as you think.
Tampa1257 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 » I am thinking victory is not worth the price......but I have never » won an argument before Why spoil a perfect record? Seriously, Never let her know that you may have won, better to lose the Battle and win the War. Is it time for another weekend Spa trip? You know the one, where she is pampered and waited on hand and foot making her feel like an absolute Queen? You paying a King's ransom of course!

I say cut your losses and live to fight another day.
cf2112 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 you ***** whipped bastards get some balls and stand up like a man . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . lmk how it turns out:-D
ALB Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I agree with Bill, no flowers as it is just an admission of guilt. Whatever you do, don't say the 's' word, & as long as you are forgiven without saying sorry, I consider that a win. But really, they have a lot of hand (ie sex, ummm, yeah that's enough), & if you're married well remember what Eddie Murphy said when he was still at his peak in "Raw" : "She will take half of all your sh@t & you can't do anything; HALF" Remember, risks vs rewards Prez. Look forward to your reply
benzig Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 ...like nothing has ever happened... You're in serious trouble!

"Yes, dear." Anything she says, answer with "Yes, dear." Doesn't matter if you heard her or not. If you've got headphones on and you see her mouth moving, as soon as her lips stop moving, you respond with, "Yes, dear." Don't even need to take the headphones off. She becomes posessed and starts speaking in tounges, at every pause, just say, "Yes, dear." Simple as that. No more arguments. Say it with me, "Yes, dear."
Wiley Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 "Sorry" is not in my wife's vocabulary. She does not lose arguments. If I make her feel like she lost in any way, she'll make me pay for it dearly, and she holds grudges for a long time. That being the case, knowing I'm going to have to eat crap eventually, I usually go for broke in the beginning and try to piss her off as much as possible. She knows by now what I'm doing, which of course makes her even more angry. Buying her things or sending her to the spa has never earned me the slightest bit of grace with her. Personally doting on her is the only thing that works. That, and doing more house work! My advice is rather than flowers or sending her to the spa, you should take her out for a night on the town, without the kids in tow.
ALB Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Like nothing ever happened? The eye of the storm?? Stepford Wives????? Be afraid, Prez, be very afraid What is that high- pitched music I hear in the background?!?............
Loki Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Glad things are better. When the wife argues with me unless I dead-on know I'm in the wrong I don't back down, I find some common ground and if that fails, I just ignore her. It always seems like it pisses her off more but sooner or later she gets sick of being ignored. My wife is a stubborn square head (swede), almost as stubborn as me. OR Buy her something nice and sexy (Wicked Weasel) then as someone else mentioned rough animal sex. A couple of good orgasms shuts em up.
DocRKS Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I thought I did once ---but I have come to realize that I was mistaken.
dragon Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 This thread would not be applicable to me since I never argue with anyone. I simply say "yes, you're right, of course you're right" and then look down and shake my head with a condescending frown. Then I turn and walk away and mutter to myself "what a focking moron".
Spud2 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 What can you tell a women with two black eyes? Nothing she's already been told twice! Bad taste, but funny.

CIGARHead Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I am known to put one helluva spin on an argument. Take last week for instance. Wife was mad about my dirty clothes a foot away from the hamper, I spun right around and walked out to the porch with a Rum and cigar.
Maverick Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Rob, Feel pleased in the knowledge that YOU know YOU won. It doesn't matter that she doesn't know SHE is wrong. I look for the little victories. Save the flowers for a couple of weeks. But you have to try to not bring up the issue again (during another argument) if you do, then all hell will break loose. It could be worse Rob,,, You could be married to Ken! Ross...
El Presidente Posted November 3, 2005 Author Posted November 3, 2005 TORA TORA TORA Blindsided today....never saw it coming ....I am such an amateur.
