Guys, you gotta read today’s Daily Dirt. Welcome to The Daily Dirt’s Vol. 1,366: Three Thoughts for Today.
1. This is targeting any husband or boyfriend that might be checking in today.
Raise your hand if you have ever been in a scenario with your wife or girlfriend where you know that whatever you say or do could be your final words. Sometimes, as that boyfriend or spouse, you just know that discretion is preferable to bravery. You don’t talk under any circumstances. Simply sit, wait, and, most all, keep silent.
The bottom line? Steer clear of any needless dangers or conflicts. Sometimes retreating is the most rational course of action.
What precisely am I getting at? Whether they are married or not, couples frequently argue. It is a component of the partnership. As the MRN Doctor of Love (see the tagline above), I’m helping you, the husband or boyfriend, get through some of the most difficult times in your relationship.
Believe me.
I’ve compiled a list of three situations that we all need to avoid with our partners:
1. You want to join the boys for a game or other activity, but you can see she’s upset about that or something.
In that “if you do, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life” tone, she replied, “Go ahead.”
What you should do: Do not go outside the door at all. Avoid even glancing at the door. Simply take a deep breath, text your friends to let them know you won’t be able to make there, and wish them luck.
Most likely outcome: She will talk to you about a conflict she had with a friend or another issue that happened that day sometime in the next hour or so. You will be a hero. You supported her. Everyone wins in this instance, and there will be other games to attend. Particularly you.
2. Always allow an additional half hour for reservation times, meeting up with another couple, etc. when organizing a night out with The Little Woman. When you ask her whether she’s about ready, this will be helpful.
“I’ll be ready in five minutes,” she said. I take it you just grinned? Every boyfriend and husband is aware that five minutes is equivalent to thirty minutes.
The best course of action is to let her believe that the dinner reservations are for 7 p.m., even though they are actually for 7:30.
Most likely outcome: She will apologize for being late, but since the reservations are for 7:30, everything will work out. In addition to the fact that everyone is content, you are once again a hero for not becoming angry with her.
3. You know she’s there, yet when you go home, she doesn’t meet you. You inhale deeply, pick your words wisely, and inquire, “Are you okay, honey?”
You can hear her reply, “I’m fine,” from a distance, but you’re scared to approach. In such circumstances, the two scariest words a guy can utter are “I’m fine.” Even if you have no idea what is upsetting her, she knows that if you pretend she is OK, you will realize something is wrong and hope you would help.
What to do: This is a difficult task. It may have been a fight with one of her pals, or it could have been nothing more than a burnt supper. Always take it slow until you are certain. Encourage her to express how she feels, and even if it’s something as simple as a burnt casserole, show her that you truly care and support her. You might advise her to call her mother, sister, or another woman if it’s something much more severe. She will probably appreciate your advice, and if the issue was a burned casserole, simply get a cold sliced sandwich from the refrigerator and top it with Colby cheese. She will be pleased that she was able to talk to another woman about her issue, and you will be fed.
Most likely outcome: Ask her if she wants to go to Walmart. While you’re there, you two can stop by Dairy Queen for a hot fudge sundae with coconut and whipped cream. By the end of the night, you will once more be a hero and the world will be a safe place.
You’re welcome.
2. Did you know (Part 450)
- That McDonald s serves spaghetti in the Philippines.
- That bees can get drunk on fermented tree sap.
- That Maine is the lone state with one syllable.
- That the unicorn is Scotland s national animal.
- That only female mosquitoes bite humans and animals, and it s only because they need blood from protein to produce eggs.
3. Appalachian Word of the Day: Fornication.
I’m in love with her dress tonight, man. This kind of fornication is ideal.
I had to read that Appalachian Word of the Day twice, too, Steve thought.
