Do you ever get sick of your battle axe ole lady constantly on your tail about the silliest of things?
Well, first thing, you should probably stop referring to her as your "battle axe, and/or ole lady"
Here's what I do to keep my marriage healthy. I'm pretty sure I have posted this before, but its been a while, however, young bloods have come in here since then and old farts have probably forgot already.
Once she starts in on you hard to the point of nagging, go ahead and do one of those things, but not all of them.
Then go out and do something stupid that you know she will get POed about. Nothing marriage breaking stupid, just think of something minor that you know gets under her skin.
She will go off on that unnecessarily hard, but after she catches her breath, that will be her focus and she'll stop nagging about the petty stuff.
You see, wives need something to complain about. If you don't provide her anything to complain about, they'll just make something up.
It is a thoughtless husband who doesn't provide something for her in that way.

If you follow my advice of bimonthly, preemptive, moderate screwing up, you will generally find that you will receive up to 2 months reprieve from being nagged about things unnecessary.

Understand however, you will need to repeat this process every 2 months from here on out.

If this doesn't work for you and the Mrs, then you very likely didn't marry ugly nor fat enough. That's on you.

Wow, I know I'm lucky but your post proves how lucky. I've been married for 22 years and been together for 30. We've had a few downtimes but nothing like you describe.

Wouldn’t it be easier to find her a second job?

Think I’d find a new wife if mine was like that.

This is sound advice from the book of 52 Carl.

My wife and I haven't had a disagreement and we've been married almost a year. We both learned alot from our first two go-rounds. I was 66 when we met.

Hmmmph.
Seems like I’m not the one who complains in my kingdom. Nothing against my husband, but IM not the excitable one. I’m rather agreeable so I don’t know what all the fuss is about concerning wives.

When I finally get fed up I eat up all the cheese and drink up the beer and go to bed and snore

Treat her like a battle axe old lady so she will treat you like an inconsiderate old fartbag. Sounds like the recipe for a long lasting happy marriage? Or surprise her with flowers delivered to her workplace, or a wonderful breakfast, or a gift certificate for a spa day so she has a husband she brags to her friends about? And see how she reciprocates? Treat them like a queen and they will treat you like a king.


United we stand.

When my dear bride gets testy, a simple "quit actin' like yer momma" usually calms her right down, LOL.

I have heard that wives prefer to be called "Blister" now instead of "Battle Axe". It has been 11 years almost to the day since I got rid of mine.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Hey, If I say I'm going to do something. There is no need to remind me every six months.

That's reasonable..

Sometimes my wife says stuff. I think she does anyway....I'm never really paying attention.

I just try hard to be the go getter in our marriage....I take her to work, and when it is time...I go get her.

I also tell her as often as I can, I would marry her all over again...but I will never get married again.
