Question

NOTES FROM A THOUGHTFUL HUSBAND
It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes
harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they
were younger.

When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive,
and there's nothing worse than an oversensitive woman.

My name is Darrell. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my
wife, Brenda.
When I took "early retirement" last year, it became necessary for Brenda
to get a full time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits
that we needed. Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was
beginning to show her age.

I usually get home from the golf course about the same time she gets home
from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she
has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner.

I don't yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake
me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men's
Grill at the club so eating out is not reasonable. I'm ready for some
home cooked grub when I hit that door.

She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it's not
unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I do
what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening
that they won't clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as
it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed.

Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example, she will
say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills
during her lunch hour.

But, boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I just smile and offer
encouragement I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days.
That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing
lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if you know what I
mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points.

When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods.
She had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard.
I try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a
nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a
while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well
make one for me too.

I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Brenda. I'm
not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will
find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than
I do how frustrating women get as they get older.

However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism
of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider that writing
it was well worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth to help each
other... Darrell

EDITOR'S NOTE: Darrell died suddenly Thursday May 26. He was found with a
Calloway extra long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver rammed up his backside,
with only 2 inches of grip showing.

His wife Brenda was arrested, but the all-woman Grand Jury accepted her
defense that he accidentally sat down on it very suddenly.

LMAO, definetely worth reading! when i was done i had my husband read it, he laughed harder that i did..

Answer 2

Think long and hard before you make such a big decision. You've listed alot of great and rather rare qualities that every woman wants. Sex appeal is not everything. There are plenty of scum bags with great sex appeal, but in the end, a marraige can only work with the qualities that apply to daily living. I would suggest trying to isolate your problem and getting to the root of it. Sexual attraction goes far deeper than looks, so there is probably something else coming into play. No marraige works without communication, so communicate, but find a way to do it so that it doesn't tear his ego. There is a way! I've been married for two years also, and am going throgh the same thing, but I know it's because of stress over finances and some resentment. However, know it can be worked out. Peace and blessing to you all.
