It is. Seriously.
Men's eyes developed for distance vision (being hunters), while females developed much superior peripheral vision.

a. you've taken this thread way too seriously

Well, you brought it up.

If you want to dig in your heels, then there is no question, you get to be right...at the price of status quo.

Interestingly on another level Mrs horse and I think the same thoughts at the same time, which is spooky.

It was mainly your "talking" suggestion which I rejected - I refuse to turn my marriage into an episode of Oprah.

Maybe it would help to change the frame of reference. How about having a negotiation??

Negotiation? As any married man will tell you, even when you win, you lose.

I think the feeling left out insight is the best one.

Well, AH, the point of this negotiation is not to win, per se, but to change the current situation.

You have to decide what you want. If you really want this situation to change then you have to DO something, even something as distasteful as "talking."

I see what the problem is now - thanks.

You can laugh now Skanky but I think many women have a nagging harpie lurking deep in their pysch somewhere.

It has something to do with the nesting instinct I suspect.

I'm watching this very thing happening before my eyes. Things have only recently turned serious with the girl I'm seeing and I can see her already moving in to sort out her nesting sites in my place. She is looking for a place closer to me and my friends are already starting to make whipped comments and using the vile word of domestication on me.

Apparently im well on my way to becomming another victim of domestication.

don't sweat it - beasts of burden seem happy enough.

Any of you married/long relationship guys had this problem? Do you have a partner who feels it is her role in life to find things for you to do when you are at home? Do you feel like you are being watched?

Any suggestions on how to outwit the surveillance?

Close supervision can sure suck all the fun out of your weekend

You disappoint me AH. You're a civil servant. You're supposed to know how to avoid work. Not only that, aren't you some type of fit-it-up manager.

What you should be doing is grabbing a beer, sitting done in a comfortable chair and then get your boys to do the work.

And you can tell I don't have kids.

Did that once with a date, took her to see the horses, because I had to get everything done before we could take off for the night. She could not even stand to watch me tromp through the manure.

You really know how to show women a good time. Did you take her to McDees after.

[Sprayber]

Yeah, I don't mind it at all with her for some reason. I've given my married friends hell for the past few years and now I'm ready to get mine.

I think it's love coming out in annoying ways.
