I earned this being MARRIED

“1. FINE: This is a word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2. FIVE MINUTES: If she is getting dressed, this means a half hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3. NOTHING: This is calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
4. GO AHEAD: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
5. LOUD SIGH: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A Loud Sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. ( Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)
6. THAT'S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7. THANKS: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. just say you're welcome.(I want to add in a clause here-This is true,unless she says "Thanks a lot"-that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say "you're welcome"...that will bring on a "whatever")
8. WHATEVER: Is a woman's way of saying____YOU!
9. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, I GOT IT: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to #3.”

“Glad to see you have it down. I bet it still doesn't keep you out of trouble, does it! lol”

“NOPE...I am trouble.”

“Iffin he's like me it won't help a bit!”

“I'm just like you.”

“My wife has used the "Whatever" on me a lot.”

“It will only get worse mildbill”

“We've been together for 18 years, married for 16. I thought it would level off by now.”

“so glad I'm single now. Free to command myself.


Divorce: The best money you can ever spend.”

“So did she find out about the tent Fridge?”

“That's why the Irish invented booze, Fridge.”

“Nothing is my favorite one to use. keeps him guessing :D”

“I find the list quite accurate, actually.”

“The ONLY Response that can get a man out of any of those dangerous situations is putting down the magazine your pretending to read and say "I'm sorry, did you say something?" ; ) J/K”

“Jack I like that...may I give it a try?”

“Have at it just hope the response doesn't involve flying objects . LOL”

“Yeah, mine uses those all the time. I just got the old,"Go ahead" when Iask about the trip to Linville to day hike this weekend. but thats all right. Now I'll throw my old you need to spend so time doing the things I like to do with me and Dillon. see If i can get the guilt trip going.”

“lonewolf this has you so shook up you are almost incoherent...just what are you trying to say?”

“Listen up guys! I am a retired Army Recruiter and I'll be the first to admit that "I" am a "Master Manipulator" I once got to go hiking on my wife's Birthday and I caught no flack from it whatsoever! Don't give up! Think thru it!”

“Just say, Yes Dear and continue on.”

“Whatever!”

“If communication involves manipulation and power-play games, you've got a sucky relationship, period.”

“Just remember...if she walks in on you and another girl, stop calmly turn around and say, "Just hold your horses babe, be with you in a few minutes."”

“Not certain I see the problem with a sucky relationship.”

“You may have a point there...”

“up until now I have usually respected your advice.....

now, however, I find myself wondering just how deranged I would be to take your suggestion to commit suicide seriously.....”

“St...bit of advice...if you commit suicide its usually pretty serious.

If you are taking what is written on this thread seriously, you SERIOUSLY need medical help (LOL). I am talking some MAJOR Psychotropics..check with marky mark or tilty...hell Buddah may have some you can borrow.”

“hey Fridge where does BUSTER fit on the list?”

“When my son started dating, and started getting serious with one particular girl I told him how he should handle her. Learn to say "I'm sorry" and make it sound convincing.”

“theheheheheeeee...wow. that was mostly accurate. Except I do beleive that there are differences when a girl says "nothing" and "I've got it"...it really depends on the tone of voice. If either response is stated quickly or in a snappish way or in a low tone....watch out...if its said sorta cheerily and eye contact is made, with me at least, I mean what I'm saying and there is nothing else to infer into it. TEHEHEHE> cute.”

“The best question line to use

Y: Okay what did I do wrong
Her: NOTHING
Y: Okay what did I not DO right.....

always works.”

“Mutt who gives a big flip......Read what XL said and absorb this wisdom.(If you are taking what is written on this thread seriously, you SERIOUSLY need medical help (LOL).)

HOI/ I forgot about Buster...when she calls me buster It means one of two things...one is she is totally pissed at me or it could be she is mistaken me for some one else.”

“I think its probably #1 (which is really #2 but ...)”

“I prefer direct communication. I tell Jon, "Do not confuse your rank with my authority." ;)”

“Ruby.....I have herd my wife say almost the same thing. When she puts her foot down , I listen,shut up,and do exactly what she says. I have tried to do the opposite, but it has only gotten me deeper in a hole with no way out. I love my wife no matter what.”

“Awe... thats so sweet!”

“Crack goes the whip and you know which one I mean!”

“roseymonster.....i like it when you talk that way.”

“men only have two faults.

1) what we say
2) what we do”

“Your wifes watching huh?”

“shhhhhhhhhhh”

“I heard this on a radio program the other day driving home from the doctor's office. The guy was saying the best food to ruin a woman's sex drive is wedding cake.”

“Well I don't know about that, but I do know soon after the cake , and you freeze a piece like ole time traditions to eat a year later, the honey moons over. DEBT,and revert back to this original post about the 9 words. They will be in effect, and will apply.”
