27. I wasn't there and I don't know you.
Edited on Sat Dec-10-05 05:33 PM by calico1
So I guess it would depend on the tone with which it was said. I certainly would think there is something wrong with a husband who is dismissive of his wife's needs or opinions and as you imply this isn't the first time its happened. I must admit my reaction upon reading your post is he likes to be in control and you think a vacuuming is your job. Hope that is not the case.
