Mars v. Venus

My hubby sent this, and it cracked me up, so I had to share! :)

Mars vs Venus
from Bits & Pieces by Jonco

HER DIARY:
Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it.

Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong. He said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior. I don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.' When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent.

Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. To my surprise, he responded to my caress, and we made love. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.

HIS DIARY:
Harley wouldn't start today, but at least I got laid.

I just got this one today, and it was along the same lines, so I had to share.


After my husband and I had a huge argument, we ended up not talking to
each other for days.

Finally, on the third day, he asked where one of his shirts was.

"Oh," I said, "So now you're speaking to me."

He looked confused,
"What are you talking about?"

"Haven't you noticed I haven't spoken to you for three days?" I
challenged.

"No," he said, "I just thought we were getting along."

Those are so funny! Hubby and I have been married over 25 years now and he still doesn't get it sometimes. I am actually quiet at times and he thinks I am upset. Especially if I sigh, he will say okay, what did I do? I will always say, when have I ever not let you know what I am upset? Yes, I realize I am a chatter, but there are times that I actually keep my thoughts to myself and daydream and forgot to breath which is why it sounded as if I sighed.

We were out with a couple we hang out with quite a bit earlier this summer. They are truly such a funny couple! She was quiet for a little while and sighed. I heard her husband whisper asking if she was okay, and then I heard him say that is just stupid to say you forgot to breathe. Of course I piped up and said that I do the exact same thing sometimes when I get lost in my thoughts. Believe me he got to know then why she was upset. It was so funny!

I then was able to show my hubby that I have no problems holding back when I am upset. I can get mad and glad in the same minute, which can drive him crazy, but I very rarely use the silent treatment. I have never found that works on men!

I forget to breathe sometimes, too! Mine tends to come when I'm worried about something or sad about something, though. My hubby and I have been married only 9 years, but we don't do the silent treatment either. We've always been big about communicating when something is going on. Of course, I can't hide my feelings one bit. (I'm horrible when I try to lie, so I don't.) I think I wear my heart on my sleeve, so to speak! He also gets frustrated when my emotions are all over the place. Sometimes it just happens. One minute happy, the next sad, the next hungry, whatever!

We decided when we first got married that we would never argue in front of people. We had a couple that made us very uncomfortable with that! Plus, we would NEVER involve any of our parents in any disputes. It has done wonders! I gave that same advice to my son when he got married last year. He is so much like his dad, that I didn't really need to give him that advice. He was never one to even argue with me. But I did tell him that if he ever complained about my lovely daughter-in-law, I would be on her side! LOL!

[stacey79]

That's great advice, Claredale. We had some friends get married the month after us and they argued all the time in front of us. We made the same decision. We also follow the same rule with parents and even friends. We decided early on that if we have a problem with the other one, then that's who we need to discuss it with. Though, I do think my in-laws would side with me! They are so good to me!

[Claredale]

My MIL has taught me well how I want to be as an in-law! And not in a good way either, if you know what I mean! I married her poor baby boy that has do deal with a sickly wife. I behaved very nicely for almost 20 years of IC for the sake of my sons since she was and still is a wonderful grandmother. I am still not ugly, just keep my distance. My mother will always take my hubby's side! She says she raised me, so she knows how I can be. Luckily, she doesn't have to do that! But I am glad that she loves my hubby.
