sleeping on the couch...

**agcy68** · 07-29-2010, 09:25 AM

The worst threat that my wife made to me was after I was posting on her facebook, through her phone, without asking. When she found out, she threatened to post on Cyclone Fanatic under my username. I stopped immeadiately.

Knownothing, I'm beginning to think you are a pretty smart dude...

Same here. We have an old couch that is more comfortable than our bed. I would sleep there every night if I could

SHe kept hounding me for some reason and said that I needed to come up with one thing that I would change about her... so, because I wanted her to shut the **** up so I could go to sleep, I said "I wish you were more generous with foreplay"... I said that a bit more directly, but I had to clean it up for message board purposes... anyways, she flipped out on me and "couldnt believe that I would say something like that" even though it was pretty clear that my comment was dripping with sarcasm.

She got so mad that I was sent to the couch for the night. It was especially horrible because it really isnt a couch, it's a 4 foot long love seat. What did the woman expect when she asked a question like that? if I answered honestly she would have likely broken up with me...

So last night got me thinking, what are some of the things that have gotten you sent to the couch for the night? I'm sure there are some pretty good stories out there...

Just when I thought that getting married might not be a bad idea...

I'm single and sleep on the couch alot. I have since college.

Just remember that things don't get easier when you get married. If you are having doubts now save yourself the embarrassment and money and get out now.

Oh I dont have any doubts... its just like anything else, the grass looks greener no matter what situation you are in. Also, with any good thing comes some work and hard times. This was more of a little funny thing that happened, and she won't be mad for long...

This. She won't remember that huge surprise birthday party you threw for her, or that awesome vacation you took her on, or even that expensive jewelry you got her just because.... but if you forget to take your shoes off at the front door, forget to take the garbage out, etc.... SHE WILL REMEMBER IT FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No doubt, some peace and quiet without anybody bothering you is always nice. But, to answer that loaded question is a trap, she probably read it some stupid womens magazine about how to get into the mind of her man or some stupid crap like that. Resist the urge to get caught with those questions or use some of the responses that have been posted here, some of you are very clever. Any woman that would ask a question like that is either lacking in self-confidence or just looking for a fight, either way, its a losing situation.

I came home one night and I could tell I was in trouble, I had no clue what for. I apoligized profusely. Then she asked me what I was sorry for and not having a clue I said in a loud voice " I don't have a ******* clue". This response was like pooring gas on a fire.

Your first mistake is you don't have a comfortable couch. Honestly. I prescribe to the old spam mail that states "Women think they are punishing men by forcing to sleep on the couch. But in actuality, men like sleeping on the couch - it's like camping." This comment may be snarky, but there are a lot of elements of truth to it.

The second mistake was allowing yourself to be cornered in like that. Thankfully my wife usually doesn't ask those kinds of questions of me, but when she does I call her out on it. When wives ask those kinds of questions it's an absolute no-win for the husband, and I tell her that. I'll usually start off by saying something snarky such as "Don't ask questions that have answers that you don't want to hear," and that's usually enough to get her off my case (she's gets the message pretty quickly). If that's not enough and she persists, I then flat out tell her that she's not being fair to me because she's putting me in a no-win situation and I refuse to answer because no matter what I say I'm going to wind up in trouble. At the very worst she's upset with you for not playing her game (which she should get over very quickly, but if she doesn't you might have to ask yourself what that says about her character), at the very best you just put the whole charade in perspective for her and she's apologizing, which means she's coming back around to YOU, which means the tables have turned and you have, for the lack of better terminology, "won". In either case, it's better than playing her game, and no matter what you tell her, you end up royally ******* her off - which is exactly what she wants in this situation. The course that has the least amount of damage and at the same time has the only hope of giving you a favorable outcome is telling her flat out you know what game she's playing with you and you refuse to play it.
