Married women say pets listen better than SO/Husbands (wife, husband, couples)

[FrmlyBklyn]

A recent poll of married women says that in 1/3 of married couples "pets listen more than husbands". How much truth to this survey do you think there is?

gods gift to men and women, cats and dogs, they listen while you vent and adore you.

If 1/3 of married women said pets were better listeners, does that mean that 2/3 said that their husbands were better listeners (or they were equal)?

I've had cats. Some of them were very companionable, and I miss having one at times. Then I remember the poop. That's always the deal breaker.

Nonsense! My husband and 2 labs are well trained...they listen and obey.




I'm the one that's guilty of not listening. It usually goes in one ear and out the other. Unless it's something I can use against my husband down the road.

That's because pets are a captive audience.

Ex wife didn't listen to me at all. Or would go in one ear and out the other.

Did you send them all to the same obedience school ?
