He became a co-conspirator in my rocks, jewelry making, etc. We were a great team. I miss him greatly.

Come on Bob, the minute you 'sneak' around her there will be an astute arousal of iron penetrating suspicion derived from her reading your every move and thought. There is no force more powerful than a ladies intuition and suspicion of her partner. They see thru us males like a they can see thru plate glass lol. I hear ya there. I'm 1.3 years into my marriage to Chinese woman from Wuhan. Two biggest challenges? Rule #1: No "outside clothes" are ever to touch the bed. All my life, I've been coming home from a stressful day at work, walking toward bed, turn around, fall backward, recover for 15 mins before going about my day, and undressing etc. for after work. No longer. Chinese from big cities are so adamant about cleanliness that that is a real big no no. But it goes further than that. I can have my pajama bottoms on, hear a noise out in the yard, and run out to investigate and come back into the bedroom. No going in bed with those pajamas on--they are now contaminated! Rule #2: Slippers. They never walk around in bare feet in a house or outside--no way. The ground and the floor is dirty dirty dirty. It looks about the same there as here to me, though they say there are more dangerous chemicals in the air that settle on floors. All my life I'm been barefoot at home. Gradually she has been converting me, and I must admit I have enjoyed see the painful calluses on my heels diminish from wearing slippers. My final holdout--stepping out of bath barefoot and drying and and walking to the bed barefoot. That causes problems because I'm supposed to get in those #$# slippers to walk that 12'. I love her so much I am willing to do about anything for her, and we joke about these cultural differences all the time and have a good time with it. Oh, and there is no such thing as skipping showers or baths on an evening when I just don't feel like it before going to bed--unless I want to sleep in another room that is.

Bob needs to stay way away from his wife's colander. I dare you to steal her dish rag ! The mortal sin... Beth's colanders are safe. No pilfers to be concerned with. Smart Gal.
other things a husband should not do
Unload the silverware into the silverware drawer by turning the dish washer basket upside down and dumping
Putting all your dirty dishes out the back door in a contractor bag when your wife is out of town
Stashing a buck's head in the fridge
And of course flirting with an attractive flirtatious gal and claim she started it, quickest way to the wrath pit of hell

Used her collander just once and result was "thanks for giving me excuse to buy a nice new EXPENSIVE one". She knows how to punish me.

Bob they love domination. Steal away and tell white lies, then tuck tail and take your hits. It spices things up.

Speaking of the Dish Rag Challenge, Don't do what I did. When I was washing a load of white dish towels, I thought it would be a good idea to throw in a new batch of red shop rags and turned the whole load of white towels pink. Fortunately, the Boss thought it was funny too.

I have a female friend who lives in Costa Rica and leads expeditions into Parque Nacional Corcovado. There is one part where you have to cross a pretty scary river, holding your pack above your head to keep it out of the water, and go very fast because it has to be timed just right with the tidal surges to keep from getting hit by either some very serious bullsharks or the native crocodiles. If you hesitate and don't trust your guide 100%, bad things happen. I have talked to men who sounded like they emptied their bladder and everything else at this particular crossing and would NEVER do it again. I found myself imagining what she would do to you during the crossing if you said that out loud to her about halfway across.

Sounds some particularly nefarious creativity Bob. If your posts cease to continue we will know why.

Take notes from those that did it the hard way Evan. There are some failures we learn from, others we suffer eternally for.

Thanks for allowing us to share our lame spousal management(for lack of a better word) methodology on your thread fernwood. We obviously don't need to anger anymore ladies than we already have.

Sounds some particularly nefarious creativity Bob . If your posts cease to continue we will know why. Sadly, the divorce rate in Costa Rica is way over 50%. So much so that many couples just don't even bother to get married. Some happy couples I met there that had been together for years shocked me when they said they were not legally husband and wife. By shocked, I don't mean in the moral or legal sense, but I mean having been in their homes and seen the typical happily married household together. I had never heard the saying "Happy wife, happy life" until I was dating my Chinese Jenny now my wife. I kept asking her what about "Happy husband, happy life". She said there is no such saying. That used to bug me a lot! Probably every 2-3 months I meet another western man who has married a Chinese woman. In private between him and me, one of the first things we say to each other is "Happy wife, happy life" and the other always laughs and says yes, he has been told that 1,000 times also. But we also typical then share that if something were to happen to our Chinese wife, under no circumstances would be willing to pursue another woman who is not Chinese because we have never been happier.

I must say that my first love was a Korean gal and she spoiled me rotten Bob. We lived together 2.5 years and it was heaven. Unfortunately we partied too hard and she had a terrible reaction to PCP(her girl friend gave her that crap, NOT me) and she was never the same. So sad and I had a hard time with the incident for a long time. I do tease my wife about how she spoiled me and she assures me NOT GONNA HAPPEN on her beat lol.

Got my first "like". Seriously, first I did in my life. I have shown that to so many people, men and women both. All break out in laughter.
