I'm sure we aren't Stepford wives here. I mean I love my husband til death, but I'm not going to let myself go crazy, by not talking about things that might upset him temporarily. <br />Sorry if I misinterpreted this, but wives are people too, and while we don't put our lives on the line, it doesn't mean we get to be waiting on others hand and foot. -_-Abbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817312033709430794.post-85980928038893551742011-12-08T10:46:54.617-05:002011-12-08T10:46:54.617-05:00Try to remember not to blame him when you have pla...Try to remember not to blame him when you have plans and he gets called into work for something.
