The summary of events:<\/strong><\/p>\n

She was bad, then I was bad, then she was marvelous.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My wife snapped at me the other evening. So I was angry. She was wrong, but I didn’t want to make the situation worse. I didn’t want to say the things that came to mind. So I left to run an errand (after I threw the checkbook across the room). Oops.<\/p>\n

When I got back to the house, I tried to avoid her. The good part of my action was that I didn’t want to say any hurtful things. The bad part was I wanted to make a point and give her the cold shoulder for a little while.<\/p>\n

[I’m glad you guys never do anything like this. Please pray for me. Oh, my, sarcasm is dripping into my keyboard. I don’t know if I will be able to finish this post.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hang on, I’m coming to the good part.<\/p>\n

I’m sitting down taking my boots off and she comes toward me. Dang! My plan of avoidance is falling apart. Alert! Alert! Now she is going to hug me. What is a guy to do? I can’t be mean, just can’t do it. So I raise a feeble “I need some space. Please honor that. Leave me alone for a little while.”<\/p>\n

But she moves in for the kill, apologizing for her sharp words as she draws closer.<\/p>\n

More “let me alone” pleas fall weakly before her bold approach as she wraps her arms around me and tells me: “I can’t do that. I love you too much.”<\/p>\n

Dang, boys! Now that’s love!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
