    I have a very close, loving, relationship with my wife, where we both see each other as equals. We've been happily married for 18 years. We decide everything together, in fact do most things together, but no-one is 'the boss'. We both respect each other too much for that. I'm sure that those here who know Del and I would vouch for that

    That's the way it should always be, and for the life of me I can't see why anyone would settle for anything less, other than if it was to protect the interests of kids, but even that, IMO, isn't really a good enough reason to muddle through such an unhappy relationship unless the children concerned were very young.

    Deep and thoughtful today? You betcha!

    I'm sorry, but that poor chap you described above is just a mug. What I find most bizarre though is that WAF, certainly here in the UK, seems to be a universal 'given' - an established fact, almost, that is just tolerated and accepted, such that phrases in relation to hi-fi equipment as: "she wont let me", "I'm not allowed to", or "I must have such and such or she'll go mental", etc, have become almost the norm. How weird and more than slightly loopy...

    I gave up being bossed around like that when I was a kid. There are too many subservient little wallflowers around, I feel...

    Well I told him he was nuts, but he's besotted with her and apparently she makes up for control freakery in other ways

    I guess me and the Mrs get on because both of us are realistic enough to recognise our own frailties, plus we both believe that relationships are either parasitic or symbiotic, not romantic but true nonetheless.

    Anyway my normal riposte to my other half when she questions my behaviour is ' there was only one perfect man in this world and we nailed him to a cross' the replies are always quite entertaining, like 'bugger off Beelzebub'
