So sorry I did not introduce myself, I think the little panel in the top right of the post says most of what needs to be said. Wrong forum? I do apologise.
It's clear now, it's my fault my dear wife is lazy. I wonder if it would be her fault if I were more understanding and sympathetic? Spoil her or endure a month of silence, tantrums, accusations and eventually outright lies. Now let me consider which course should I choose...
Now, why did I marry her? Well perhaps she spun me such a magnificent yarn, invested some time in playing me like a fish and I fell for it. Sucker. "Courting" is one thing, once hooked the mask slips and all is revealed over a period of time. Joy.
I enjoy with wry amusement some of the posts on this forum that automatically confer deity status on filipinas, by simple virtue of where they were born.
And before you guess and/or comment, we are actually content with our married lives (she gets to travel around the world and I get someone to irritate me) we now tend to accept each other's outrageous shortcomings. Mine, of course, are considerably worse than hers, as I am British after all.
