women cant never win!?
Genre: Marriage Jokes
Harry had a bit of a drinking problem.
Every night, after dinner, he took off for the local watering hole, spent the entire evening there and arrived home, well inebriated, around midnight each night. He always had trouble getting his key into the keyhole and getting the door opened. His wife, waiting up for him, would go to the door and let him in. Then she would proceed to yell and scream at him for his constant nights out and his returned drunken state. But Harry continued his nightly routine. One day, the wife, distraught by it all, talked to a friend about her husband's behavior.The friend listened to her and then asked, "Why don't you treat him a little differently when he comes home? Instead of berating him, why don't you give him some loving words and welcome him home with a kiss? He then might change his ways." The wife thought it was worth trying. That night, Harry took off again after dinner. Around midnight, he arrived home in his usual condition. His wife heard Harry at the door and let him in. This time, instead of berating him as she had always done, she took his arm and led him into the living room. She sat him down in an easy chair, put his feet up on the ottoman and took his shoes off. Then she went behind him and started to cuddle him a little. After a while, she said to him, "It's pretty late. I think we had better go upstairs to bed now, don't you?" At that, Harry replied in his inebriated state, "I guess we might as well. I'll get in trouble if I go home anyway!"

I dunno. 'Shut up and get out,' seems to close arguments with me. (that is sarcasm) Seriously, why argue with them? The 998 BC incident is a ruse. Anything to put you on unsure footing. As soon as she gets you on the slippery slope, you are wondering if you are really right. She is undermining you and the value you place on your thoughts and feelings and you absolutely must not let that happen. The reason being that, eventually, you will do this out of habit, and the next thing you know, you are an insecure washout. And of course, women love staying with insecure washouts. (sarcasm, again) No, my friend. A woman will frequently try to beat you down by undermining your own self value. Now I'm not saying you shouldn't examine your feelings and motives. Women can be crazily instructive if you have the wherewithal to learn the right things. Otherwise, they are crazily destructive, and that is, in part, what the dynamic is all about: a woman can destroy your heart and spirit, if you let her. If she can do this easily, then the end is already beginning, she can unman you at will. If random insertions and deviations from point can destroy your footing, you didn't start very strong, in the first place. What are you arguing about, and does this deviation have any point but to throw you off? And never forget that there are times when you just have to ignore them, and some time when you must console them. Not being able to identify your woman's emotional state and the kind of care she needs (and do not ask her because she, just like you, doesn't know what the heck she needs at such times, only help). If you can do that, you can usually avoid pointless arguments. Also remember that all people often need to simply vent. When a woman is distressed, men usually try to 'fix' them, like a car that is idling rough. But that isn't it. She doesn't need 'fixing,' she often just needs to get things off her chest. People (as in both genders) are notorious for displacing their pain and anger and pouring on somewhere else, like their partner. Know enough to identify when she just needs you to say, "Honey, I'm sorry your upset, is there anything I can do?" Often, just saying that and you did what she needed. You must be patient.
