Oh wait, I'm not obsolete.. I can be the cameraman!!
If you make the switch, please call me.
I've always wanted a wife. You'd make a great one: you keep a tidy home, you're an awesome cook, and you're smart so can have intelligent conversation.
I think we'd be perfect together! We're both gainfully employed, we both have mad domestic skillz - we bring home the bacon AND fry it up in a pan. We're like catdog, only it's more like husbandwife.
You can be our yard guy!

Seriously, did you just ask that? More importantly, do you really want to know the answer?
You know those photos floating a few years back of Jack Nicholson and Alec Baldwin wearing their bathing suits on the beach? Well, imagine Bob wearing those same bathing suits with the same backdrop. The only difference between their reality and Bob's make-believe scenario, is that they have tons of money, and, well....more money.
Which would you rather have?
HORUS
Better than YOU.
I wish this thread had been posted sooner but its good information just the same. I learned in my first marriage that “good communication” between spouses is the key to a happy marriage. Back then I admit that I use to take the slightest bit of criticism as a personal attack mostly because it was. I was in the Army so my way of distancing myself was to simply volunteer for every away mission that came up. Out of sight, out of mind.
My second marriage I thought I’d done much better at the communication part and became a fairly good listener. Problem was I married a person with a master degree in psychology form John Hopkins that didn’t know how to talk about her feelings until it was too late to do anything about it. So even though this time I may have been in the right state of mind in being an effective listener my current ex rarely every used the words “We need to talk”. Now I think I’m pretty good but I simply cannot fix it if I don’t know its’ broken. Yes it is humiliating for men to do something wrong in a relationship and fail meeting his spouses expectations but it’s also just as humiliating and shameful to do everything right and still fail.
Just as men need to tone their own personal emotions down a bit to understand what is being said, women in to learn how to present it in an effective way men can understand. Men (I might be speaking for myself) want to be the provider and protector but I think we also want to be thought of as the problem solver and hero to our spouses. Isn’t that what every women wants from her man?
Here's a idea… Next time a woman wants to have a “We need to talk” moment I suggests presenting it with a beer in one hand and a ham sandwich in the other. He’ll be happy and you’ll have his undivided attention for at least 3 minutes. (Results my vary)
Baiting before the kill.
Damn! Think I might have maxed out my MAN Credit limit on that one.

Just remember to put the potato in the front this time.

That look really never did catch on did it?
No, it probably wasn't. And taking a little bit of criticism as a personal attack isn't your fault, it's God's. He installed that free with every penis.
It's interesting that every man who's responded has taken the words "Can we talk?" as a negative. They assume it must be bad news.

Well, I'm hairy enough that you can't tell if I'm fat or fluffy..
Does that help with the mental picture??
I'm going to print that out and put it on my refrigerator.

Wouldn't it be nice if the phrase "can we talk?" was eradicated from the English language?
A more appropriate and effective question to ask would be "wanna go grab a beer?".
HORUS
Better than YOU.
You're probably right but you didn't know my first ex.
I can't say I look at the "Can we talk?" as a negative that much anymore. I think of it more like an opportunity to improve. If my boss at work tells me he doesn't like something I've done then I'll fix it. Why would anyone do anything less for the person they love?

I am throwing the flag at you
Some woman has a gun to your head and is forcing you to say that, right?
