The same applies for attending family events on her side of the family.
You must attend everything her family does, even the trivial little things, yet going to see your side of the family once in a blue moon will cause them to raise hell.
Arrrggghhh i had forgotten that!! Bloodyhell it's all coming back now.You must attend everything her family does, even the trivial little things, yet going to see your side of the family once in a blue moon will cause them to raise hell.
Bloody weddings...
Seeming nobody has mentioned this yet, look out for cushions. And candles. And baths with candles and cushions. And hair in the sink. It will look like Fozzy Bear is trying to do a backwards poo from the drains into your bath.
And on a serious note, never, ever take her for granted. Fall out, make up, but most of all make up. If you open up to her, never try to back track and protect her from the bad times by keeping her at arms length. Talk about everything and never let insecurities creep in.
And if it all goes wrong, please post about it on PH.

Get used to having to be quiet when there is something on tv that she wants to watch, ie most of the night watching soaps.
But when that few hours of motorsport is on and you really want to watch it, be prepared for it to be drowned out by the sound of either:
a) nagging
b) hovering / cleaning
c) her on the phone to someone
d) her saying she needs to talk to you
You can also apply d) to when its time to go to sleep. If she seems a bit off with you and when you ask her whats wrong, she'll say nothing. Yet when you go to bed and start drifting off, she'll pipe up and say 'we need to talk'!

Flowers are a massive no - she'll only think you've done something wrong and are covering it up.
Rubbish, if you always give her flowers, then she will not wonder. However if you suddenly start to give her them, then she might just.V8mate gives his wife a bunch of flowers every week (not sure about the BJ return bit though

I really hate statements like this, my husband often sends me flowers, just because it's a lovely thing to do, never have I thought he has done something wrong, I always appreciate them and him.littlegreenfairy said:

Typical women logic. Man does something nice, must mean man has done something bad.So would you prefer never to receive flowers as you automatically think your OH has done something bad. Or from a mans point of view "im never buying her flowers as she will think I have done something bad"

The stolen stapler from work really made my day though!
Because it's not possible to have an honest relationship on PH.littlegreenfairy said:
I don't see the need for constantly buying stuff to show you love someone. Surely a strong relationship isn't based on what you can buy.
It's not done out of need to show me he loves me, it's just thougthful, I like a house with fresh flowers, I like the smell as you walk through the door, often we cut flowers from the garden, this year the gladioli were particularly spectacular. When we have guests, I often put flowers in the guest room, it helps to make a house a home. We work hard, how we choose to spend our money is down to us, sometimes it's important things like, cars, bikes and petrol othertimes it's more frivolous things.I just don't see sending someone flowers anything more than just thoughtful, I give my Mum flowers and in turn she will give me flowers, sometimes grown sometimes bought, I buy my daughters flowers and I buy my friends flowers, I really don't understand the association with guilt or need.
