The first of many I'm sure!

After posting in another thread that it's our 6 month anniversary, I managed to get my first "look" the other day from Yam! I mean one of those looks where you know you've done something wrong!

Admittedly, when I was given "the look", it may have had something to do with me sitting in the car holding an ipad after stating on Facebook that I didn't know if I could justify spending £600 on one to the missus! Lucky for me, it was just one work had bought for us to play with. Sorry, I mean test with!

Even though this time around, I really hadn't done anything wrong, I took it as a shot across the bow that I know my place in this relationship!

Wait till you get a taste of full blown Tampo

[DaveUK]

Yeah, over the last 2 years I think I've been lucky not to see it full blown yet!

[bornatbirth]

I've been lucky not to see it full blown yet!

Your still in the honeymoon period, don't worry the full blown tampo will come soon enough....... just watch out for the period of moody silence that usually precedes the tampo..... and then get ready to duck when she explodes.

Oh I've seen the silences. Guilty of them myself. Just not seem the full storm after the "calm" yet!

You can never prepare for the full blown tampo...... it will probably happen when your least expecting it and it might even have been brought on by something you said, done, did or didn't do a few days ago. The best description of the tampo that I've heard went something like "an extremely irrational reaction to something which on the surface appears to be quite a simple problem" that's because it's not usually about the event that triggered it, it's usually about something else that they've been bottling up for a couple of days.

The month thing is different .... but beware Tampo + Period = Atomic Bomb

[IainBusby]

Oh No!!!!! that's the worst one.

best get out of the way then or give the attention she wants!

[stevewool]

well thats answered the question thanks

[DaveUK]

That makes me even more scared of it than I already was. I live on an island so there's no chance of an escape!!!! Well not an easy one anyway!

Alcatraz!

[DaveUK]

Alcatraz!

No if it was alcatraz, there'd be more things to do than there is here!

I keep an overnight bag next to the back door at all times. It contains 4 days worth of clothes, money and passport. Given 3 minutes warning, i've calculated i have a 76% chance of survival...........but only if i distract her long enough by telling her the rice is burning

[fred]

Im told that a tampo attack is due to a general lack of lambing when previously it was in ample supply...Bound to happen in many cases after the "honeymoon period" IMO..
My advice... Start as you mean to carry on...That`l cancel out the need for tampo and nip it in the bud.
Bahala ka!

Why fear the tampo jeez most married blokes i know would love the Wife to stop talking Best way I found is to mirror if you shut up I shut and trust me far harder for a lady to stop talking for a length of time than a bloke

Dave you ever wonder why your Dad Grandad had a shed or workshop or an "office" in the gaff? That or bowls off to football, the pub or fishing...

I found i can go days with out chating if needed at home so the missus has learned that she shouldn't act like a spolit brat.

Two adults if they cant talk though the problems or agree to give one another some space need to think whats going wrong..
Dont tell me its culture and tradtion otherwise maybe the Brits should bring back the stocks for nagging women
Just because its tradtion or always been done doesn't make it right.

The Wife still occasionally goes to have a tantrum and I have learned a few different responses (always best to mix them up) the carry on as if nothing happened, blank them, or the stroll off. Also often we walk along in the vincity of one another but no passer by would notice we were a couple..


Oh the other one you get is as Boss Admin says is the missus thinking she manny paquino

Again never thought much of Women who are happy to hit out and know they wont get hit back.. I know from previous experiences than in my circles of friends n family the women actually frown on this as well. I can think of a number of times where a woman happy to punch n slap a hubby who cant give it back get a visit from the guys female friends totally uninstigated by the guy..

But they always come back to the same place!

Out of laziness, we've still got a tent and sleeping bag near the front door from when we went camping a while back. Maybe there's a sub-conscious reason why I've left them there this long!

Dave you ever wonder why your Dad Grandad had a shed or workshop or an "office" in the gaff? .

But I only have an outside cupboard under the stairs, and I don't want to have to go through my childhood again!
