squabbling

Belinda and I squabble a lot.

Sometimes I feel like we're a mid-50's married couple in that familiarity-breeds-contempt stage of their relationship. Of course, we've only been together about 3 years, so that's not what's really going on. What's really going on is that Belinda never backs down. Never.

What's interesting is that Belinda knows about this blog. Lots of other guy blogs out there like For Crying Out Loud, The Good Husband, and the sadly defunct I Hate My Wife keep their blog a secret from their significant others. Since Belinda reads this, I need to edit things a little bit. I mean we don't want her knowing everything that goes on in my feeble little brain. But I try not to pull any punches, and to tell it like it is regardless of who's reading or not.

Last night, we were in our squabbling mode as usual, I was getting more and more pissed at whatever it was that she was going on about, and in my frustration I actually said to her, "I can feel a blog post coming on..." I was actually threatening to write about her unless she either comes around to my point of view or just gives me five minutes of peace.

Interesting twist, in the 21st century relationship, huh?
