But sometimes? I just don't get him. He overthinks things, he overcomplicates things, and it's like he thinks it will cause him physical pain to just agree with me about something. A few months ago one of the shelves in the kitchen started giving way and he had to reinforce the supporting posts. Whatever -- crappy mass builder stuff. A couple of weeks ago one of the drawers in Angus's dresser came off the rails and wouldn't go back on. The dresser belonged to Matt's younger brother, making it roughly thirty years old -- not terribly surprising that it's falling apart. But my husband looks at it differently. He looked at the shelves and said "well, you have a lot of stuff in there". Yeah -- plates, cups, the odd bowl. It's a shelf. In the kitchen. He looked at the drawer and said "wow, you've got a lot of t-shirts packed in there". Yeah, and boys' t-shirts are made really heavy these days....?So basically he's accusing me of wrecking the house. By treating furniture (wait for it) as furniture.
Sweet, loyal, dependable, great father, funny, considerate, dynamite in the sack. But about some things he really has his head stuck up his butt.

Show me a man who doesn't. Seriously.
You said 'vituperative'. Which I had to go look up in an online dictionary. I think I might be taking your husband's side on this one, because you are clearly too book-smart for your own good. Those of us who just pile clothes on the floor and wait for the laundry fairy to work some magic, we UNDERSTAND each other. ;)
I am so there with you! "Man logic" defies well, logic in general.
Man logic. Dad school. My husband gets an A+ too. Love him - I really do but I'm starting to think that a week long hiatus on a tropical island could be in order for us. Oh, and don't even get me started on the dishwasher. I've given up.
