50 years! You’ve got to respect that - congrats to them
I agree that dishonesty with a woman is the best policy.
Unless they find out.
What in heaven’s name is Chemical Town?! Sounds like something to avoid.
I just did a post that drips of self pity. Don’t knock it. It’s my favorite literary device.
I’m with you on camping. Shudder. If my family and I are sleeping in a tent, something went horribly wrong.
“…dishonesty is the best policy.” cuts across the gender divide. Happily.
F: I’m not sure about that. Rewarding someone for staying together for 50 years? Why is that a good thing or something that deserves a clap? It feels like rewarding a couple for something that neither of them really wanted to do. I think any man who stays with one woman for fifty years is an idiot.
TSB: Always lie to women. I’ve learnt never to be honest with them. They claim they want honesty but don’t like it. You have to make each of them think they’re the only one, and then they’re all happy.
Almost all women can only have happy relationships by clamping a man into the vice of an exclusive sexual contract. I like Trina but I want other women too.
UB: Chemical Town is Middlesbrough, where my poor old Mum and Dad have ended up in. It’s a shithole of a place, bereft of culture.
And self-pity? That’s an allowed thing in blogging from time to time.
I am a fan of fields but I refuse to go camping at any point, ever, for much the same reasons you describe. I don’t stay anywhere that isn’t en-suite, and pissing the other side of a tautly-stretched 300-denier nylon “wall” by torchlight doesn’t count.
I agree completely. Next time, if we can’t afford to stay in the hotel, rather than in its fields, we’re staying at home.
always lie to women? sorry. doesn’t work for me. i’ve done my share of lying through the years, but have found that sucking up the brutal truth - which stings on occasion - has led to the most satisfying series of relationships i’ve experienced…
What I mean is, it’s sometimes tactically advantageous to lie in order to get something that would be denied you if you told the truth.
Sounds even worse put like that!
