writes: The need to go with her buying stuff for the house:I now understand the importance of going with the wife shopping. I have a 40 pound decoration she wants me to hang over our bed, but she forgot to get the hangers that go with it. Of course, she misplaced the receipt and doesn’t know where she bought it. So she has set a deadline to have it done, so here I am, planning on wasting a whole day either finding the parts I need or making one. I could hammer a few nail in the wall, but no doubt she wouldn’t like the way it would stick out.The need to go with her grocery shopping:If she has a coupon, she will buy it, even when no one likes the taste of the product, and will eventually be thrown out, she will buy it. The kids and yourself will specify a particular brand to buy, she will buy something else, and it to will not be eaten and thrown out.The need to hoard important documents:The man must always follow behind and pick up after his wife. Some of these documents might be important at tax time, which she will either throw in the trash, misplace, or forget she put them somewhere. Some of these documents can provide you peace and mind. Had a two bit business (25 cents) send me a fax. I called and asked that they take me off the list. The guy angered that I didn’t want to do business with him, tells me he will call whenever he dam well pleases. For three months, night after night, the guy calls at 2 A.M. I try to get the police involved, but the phone company won’t release information without a warrant, the police don’t want to waste there time and energy. I find out what the guy looks like, and the next time he calls, I tell him I know what he looks like, and if I catch him, I will beat the living daylights out of him. All this because my wife hoped the idiot would tire and go away.In summary:At times, it feels like I let the devil into my home. The wife would prefer to accept the opinion of a stranger then me. Of course when I prove right, she doesn’t want to talk about it.In my situation with my wife, I’m beginning to plan for an exit strategy. My wife is suppose to work with me, not against me. If I knew life would be like this living with a woman, I would have join the military and be captured by the enemy. I am willing to try physical pain rather then mental pain.

Ask oldersister, personally, I feel she is trying to sabatoge me, get me mad. I feel she thinks I'm a bad person and need to be punished. We won't last much longer, I've had enough.
Tisha-1, I sound like your husband. Maybe he and I are using the same technique. Taxes are like rules and laws to restrict the individual, I hate em. I'm thinking this must have been how our fore-fathers must of felt when the create the Constitution. Which since the 1900's, the industrial revelution, we have slowly but surely have been loosing our rights as free people. Sorry for the politic's insert. :)
Thanks all.

 Taxes, ah well, taxes! I was finally well-trained enough to put anything tax related into a special envelope which then gets hauled out on the day before they're due by my husband. I've also learned that it's best to find a good reason to leave the house that day due to all the swearing and carrying-on, despite the fact that he has all necessary documents at hand, and that he's had several months to prepare them. I would much prefer to take this envelope to an accountant and pay a relatively small sum to spare us all the drama, but nope, he knows what he's doing! ;-)
Other than the two times he's been so stressed that he actually has thrown his back out, this system is working well for us now.
