In the end, I was right (hold the applause) but I made her feel stupid and embarassed. In short, I was an ass.<BR/><BR/>Well, I'm still an ass (as Julie will likely testify), but I have been much more selective in my battles and more careful in how I approach disagreements with my wife. <BR/><BR/>My wife isn't always right, but neither am I.Lessel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402165252198015090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15304841.post-1124646633240099892005-08-21T11:50:00.000-06:002005-08-21T11:50:00.000-06:00Great column.

I never knew anyone with more (gag me) terms of endearment in their vocabularies...but my favorite was when either one of them would simply say, "Yes, dear." They explained that "Yes, dear" is code for "I'm right and you're wrong and I know it, but I really don't want to fight about it anymore." It's a wonderful way to be right and happy--and that suits my genetic need to be both just fine.dalenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13414972890937798371noreply@blogger.com
