Jesse, I'm afraid that is too late to save Facebook from the uncouth rubes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're probably right. RIP, Facebook.

I am sorry if this has been asked before but does your wife do chores? I remember you saying she drives the kids places.

Well, this weekend she hasn't, but she's been working on her business so that's understandable. During the week she did go grocery shopping and I think she did dishes a couple of times. Unfortunately, I'm helping her with business stuff today which isn't much fun. When I misunderstand what she wants, she gets pretty angry so I just try to not make assumptions and not talk much.

I have a customer called Dean Longbottom. I want to ask how Neville is, but he's probably sick of it.

Gud, I know I've said this before, but I have to say it again: that is not how a partnership works. Your wife should not get angry when you misunderstand what she wants. In relationships with different communication and thinking styles (like, hello, my own), both partners have to work at making the communication work.

You deserve to not constantly worry that your wife is going to be angry with you.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Facebook etiquette question: a family friend (friend's parent/parents' friend) just puts birthday messages on her own wall. Do I tell her that's not the best way???

I'd wait until she says something about "how come no one says thank you for birthday greetings on Facebook?" and respond with the explanation that many people may not see them because she posts them on her own wall, and instructions on how to post on someone else's.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

What Jilli said. Also, I am a single person starting her own business while still working a part time job, and I still find time to do dishes, cook, make the bed, do laundry, etc. This is not an equal partnership. At all.

Gud, what would you think if a friend of yours was living the life you are?

Ooh, you're good!
