is...Chocolate.. thats right BUY US CHOCOLATE! your life would be so much easier... less crying...fewer arguements...less mood swings. Start purchasing chocolate about a week before her start date... and none of that cheap 3 for a dollar crap at the gas station.. Buy good chocolate. It doesn't have to be Godiva but at least make sure it is Dove Dark or better.

I promise if you do this every month and keep your mouth shut whenever we say something totally off the wall, your life will be much easier.

1. hm...

I was happily married for 5 years, widowed, and then happily married for 16 years and counting.

I can honestly say that "keeping your mouth shut whenever we say something totally off the wall' is the hardest thing a husband has to do to keep peace.

With both wives, the "start date' varied wildly, both were/are extremely irregular, so there was no way to predict reliably when that would be, so it very often came out of the blue as far I was concerned.

Come home, "hi sweetie!" WHAM. Sucker punch. If you can walk into that buzzsaw and NOT react, I'll give you a medal. It takes extreme self-control. Its worth it, of course, but its not as easy as just saying "take it with a smile".

Just my two cents.
