if you have something to add that makes sense, then go ahead and give it to me. you may be right, you may be wrong. i'll be honest at least.

so, if you really think you have the other side of the arguement nailed down. if you can articulate that which my wife was unable to articulate, then please, give it to me straight.

Then why is it a bone of contention?

Seriously, what drew you two together in the first place?

She wants her man to take care of her, that's what it is. The hell with anything else. If you don't do it, then you don't love her.

This thought process doesnt even fit my definition of a marriage... I hope you are being sarcastic about this...

let me put it this way - she keeps the house presentable, but i get annoyed when little things are not in order. when things are unorganized, which is a constant state of affairs, i dont go and beat her in the corner with my strap, like some people seem to think. but, i might say something like, "does every drawer in the kitchen have to be a ****ing junk drawer!?"

sorry, i dont know if i can answer your second question. but it wasnt always like this. and it's not like we're constantly fighting. it's just that when we do fight, it is triggered by something ridiculous and trivial, so that there tells me that what triggers the conflict is not what the conflict is about. for my part, i would say that over time, my patience has worn a little thin.

yeah, maybe. seems a little therapudic. i've done it myself on more than one occasion. is it really too much of me to ask of her, who is home all day, to take care of it - since it's her junk anyway. and moreover, to kick her habbit of filling the drawers with so much junk - or to keep it limited to just one junk drawer.
