Yeah. I can totally feel sympathy for guys who feel they're under too much pressure to be the breadwinning shark at work for 60 hours a week and then come home and switch to sensitive emotional needs-provider, but the strip club/beer lunch thing dispels a lot of that sympathy.
My only issue with the strip club/beer thing is making it a thing. As in just ask the wife if it bugs her and, if you actually respect her, stop doing it if she says it bugs. I'm guessing many women--I won't say most but certainly many--wouldn't have a problem with it. In which case, turning it into an issue is all about HIS issues, not hers. I'm a firm believer in the idea that every marriage should have TWO adults in it.
I don't want my husband to be my emotional needs provider. I just want him to pick his pants up off the floor, and put them in the hamper. I am a woman of simple desires.
Thanks for the answers, tommy and Perkins.
Burrell! Cindy!
I have nothing of content to post. I may have to log of from my computer at any moment, so it feels like a shame to make my sieve actually try to think about intelligent (or at least pretending to) responses to people and then not get to posting them.
I want my husband to do both. I am a demanding woman.

[Edit: Burrell! You deserve another exclamation point! How are you and yours?]
We are pretty good, Nilly. I am wildly underslept. But at least the semester is almost over. Oh, and we have a new car!

When is it completely over, and how much grading will you have to do until then?
Oh, and we have a new car!
Now I want to say that word that doesn't exist in English that congratulates people on their new thing.
New car! Shiny! Both of mine have over 100,000 miles, but I still like them so I can't justify doing anything new.
Yikes Nilly. I'm sorry about the computer issues. Have you become a compulsive backer upper in response? Unreliable computer and no stove. Yuck, this is not good.
Poor ita. Responsibility without control sucks.
I was up at 6:30 on a day off. How wrong is that? I've already done 3 loads of laundry. Now for some more on line shopping. I really need to find inexpensive XLT stuff.
black coffee:
I am not going to search on big men this year though. Learned that last year!
