What do you Western Men Get in trouble with the wife over?
« on: January 22, 2009, 04:20:23 PM »
As a man much wiser than me once said "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" 

So what are the areas of contention?

Ditto LOL. Also, my love of police and detective shows (Law & Order and Criminal Minds).

I/O, my friend said the same exact thing as you LOL.  I think he is leading the NHL in penalty minutes this year.  My friend still says he would not have it any other way.

The wife loves both of those shows.  Nice to have common interests  :D

I used to watch CSI-- no more.  Too violent.  But NICS is ok-- great humor and not too graphic.

She does watch football with me, but a big negative to slow moving baseball!

I don't watch much tv, there really isn't anything good on anymore besides the shows mentioned. CSI got really boring really fast, I never got into NCIS to similar to CIS. Bones is also a really good on. And that show Damages is now playing also. But I will be checking out the NEW "Friday the 13th" Movie next month!!!! If that tells you anything, I'm a big movie fan of B movies and A movies.

On Channel One we watch след (SLYED) every evening. Talk about violence.
It's a forensic crew tracking down killers, the flashbacks are gory.

What gets me into hot water is paperwork - a mess of bills, statements, etc all over
the table. (Each morning I've learned to sleeve it all into a folder and tuck it away
where it's out of sight - until I drag it out to deal with again.

We don't watch much TV but a sure way to incur her displeasure is to lounge in front of a basketball game.  She seems to tolerate football okay, but I try to keep it to a minimum.

Now if I really want to tee her off I can ignore a full garbage can or, heaven forbid, set one shoed foot on the carpet.

She is okay with me being on this forum now that she understands that I'm not chatting with the sexy foreign bride material in the banner ads, but when some very nice looking RW members here started posting their pictures as their avatars it took a lot of explaining.

I can not watch how basketball is played in the NBA anymore.  Keep papers in an orderly fashion is going to be an uphill battle for me. 

Simoni a woman that likes to watch too much CSI scares me a little.  Especially if they take notes >:(

Interesting... I really like most of the shows mentioned in previous posts while my husband only watches House.  I watch NCIS, Boston Legal is great. Burn Notice is superb, but they just show it too late. I used to watch Law and Order, not as much now.  I also love football and we go to Minnesota Vikings matches from time to time, I just suggested to my husband to host Super Bowl party! :)

I cannot speak for Scott, but it's likely the old-fashioned jealousy issue? I know Elvira
has asked more than once who Tamara, Blues Fairy, Anastassia and Lilly are....

Our wives want to be sure you all are "sovyetnitsi" and not distractions.

I am so happy with my family, that in no way can be a distraction.  "Sovyetnitsa" is a good way to express my role here. :)  I did not realize women on this forum were causing such a disbalance.

Not at all really - but your presence keeps us on our toes - and enhances the board strength without question.

Now if a FSU wife suddenly asks, "Hey - Did you marry ME or RWD?" I'd say a man might consider paring back
his time here...

About the only thing I can say will set my wife off on me is if she thinks I'm not paying enough attention to her. When she feels this way watch out!  :cluebat:
