Are there any men out there who have never punched their house in the head?

(Me) Well, why were you an hour late, whats the deal?

(Wife) Because I was talking to someone on the phone and I couldn't carry all the bags and hold the phone at the same time ok?

(Me) errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that's why you were an hour late?

(Me) Oh for %&*#'s sake "PUNCH"

I could understand being irritated with waiting for someone for an hour, or even having words with them about it along the lines of respecting your time.........however, hauling off and punching something along those lines, yeah like I said, I can see why she was upset. Overreaction just a tad??? You scared her, plain and simple. Justifying it when there is no justification for such a reaction. Not like she got into the car and said by the way hun, I just slept with your best friend. Then, I could see ramming your fist into the dashboard.

Respecting your time... Jesus, what world do you live in? The way you talk is ridiculous...

Darwin called from beyond the grave and said "Thanks!" he knew we'd find the missing link sooner or later and alas there you are.

Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

I regret scaring my wife...

But I do not regret the punch yet.

More disapproval, insults and constructive criticisms are needed please folks!

As I said, what world do you guys live in? Surely not the same one I do. Everyone likes to pretend that we're "sooo civilized now." It's BS. People have been and always WILL be horrible.

Sounds like the problem is more with you and the hints of depression I am getting from your posts. Not with humanity, since myself and most of the other people I know have no problem getting along with other humans we encounter.

See that reminds me a lot of what my dad used to say. Always with the "woe is me" crap hidden behind a thin layer of humour.

Obviously we don't live in the same world because the people in my life are not horrible at all but then I suppose I'm careful who I let into my world....law of attraction I suppose. My father has never/would never disrespect my mother in any way or form and vice versa and they've been happily married 48 years, good relationships without drama DO exist.

Then the slave's master must take him to God. The master is to take him to a door or doorframe and punch a hole through the slave's ear...

I have a question for you, in all seriousness, did you apologize to your wife about it? Seeing that it upset her and all?

reply to post by FEDec


I can quote myself as saying

Shall take all advice on board and try to become the better man. Thanks everyone!

People can feel free to reign judgement on me, but I will just be humble about it and speak back respectfully as I have been doing.

I'm not gonna sit here and be all traumatized over it or anything.

Of course I did, I bought her the biggest bunch of flowers the gas station had to offer.

She cried a little because of how sweet I was (AFTER the fact) and I apologized.

She said don't let it happen again please and I said I will try but cant promise anything.

Not trying to be a douche at all, but just as a small scale sample size, go back and read through the posts and check the stars (I'm not a "star hog" or anything like that, I think that it just shows that there are like-minded people. I star someone when they say something I agree with.) and you'll see that my view is the most popular one.

It has nothing about being depressed, as that has never been my case. The lady and I have a happy home life free of violence as well. It's about being able to see human nature for what it is and call BS on all the "we're so civilized" crap.

Pfffft so what I am supposed to automatically accept your ideas because you have a lot of stars? You realize this board is full of the kind of bitter mouth breathers who refer to women as 'females' right?

You know why you are getting a lot of stars? Because people would rather believe that everyone else is horrible than spend a little time changing themselves. By the same thought process as "the person with more stars can't be wrong" I could also say that since it is only you that thinks the world is horrible that you are wrong.

By the way overall I have about double the stars you have. Come back and try that again when you get to 200.

I wasn't talking total number of stars at all, I was talking about in the past few pages of the thread. Either way, what you say proves my point, that people aren't as civilized as we like to pretend they are.

Even if what I said proved anything even that I was uncivilized that would only be true for me and not the rest of the human population. You are obviously just trying to convince yourself and others that the social problems you have are the fault of others and not your own.

Well once again what is the constant in this situation? You, you are the one who thinks all humans are uncivilized whereas a lot of us seem to get along just fine. The problem is you not anyone else, do yourself a favor and try to work on that.

Who ever said anything about social problems that I have? Why are you turning this into an attack against me?

Well it's great that you were man enough to apologize and that she was touched by it, but umm,' I can't promise anything??' Wait a minute, back up the bus here, did you have wedding vows? But you can't promise you won't lose your cool like that again? Wow, that's an honest reply but absolutely not the one she needed to hear.

Think about it, if she had an affair with a man and said I'm sorry, really really sorry, but I can't promise it won't happen again, I'll try not to screw around..........how exactly would that make you feel? Secure? Insecure? Valued?? Or not valued?

Different situation I know but same rules apply (whether you realize it or not), feel free to think I'm a *$%*$* or whatever but this is the best advice your gonna get, that I can promise you. If you love her and she asked you to not let it happen again, don't. Period, end of story. It's not like she's asking you to become a different person, her request should NOT be that difficult to fufill, and she made her line in the sand, if you choose to cross it, do so at your own risk cause I promise you 100% that 'disclaimer' "I can't promise anything" is rolling around in her mind 24/7 right now and she's contemplating.....but you won't know it till it's too late.

I could say the same about you jumping all over my opinion I posted.

This sort of thinking confuses me...

Are you insulted or offended when a lady refers to you as a male?

Its the same as (and there are many) someone having a problem with other people who refer to dark skinned people as black.

Is anyone who is white insulted or offended by a black skinned person calling them white?

Its just an observed fact.

There were a couple jokes rolling around there, but yes, I did say that.

And she laughed her box off!

Not everything is so black and white.

Different things work for different people.

But thank you for your constructive criticisms and advice.
