If you had a beef with someone...at what point would you expect your OH to jump in and defend your *honour*?

Me?

NEVER ..unless it's a garage and it's a car problem where they're blinding me with science lol.

Do you like to defer to your partner or do you prefer to meet things head on for yourself?

Having been in business for so long I deal with everything myself, quickly, efficiently and ruthlessly (if necessary).

I would only defer to himself if it involved a legal matter apart from the ongoing litigation at the moment which is all mine :-D

Failing both the above I'm afraid it's a challenge to a wresting match in blancmange - but it HAS to be chocolate ;-)

Strawberry and you have a deal ;-) :-D

Oh OK ;-) you have pursuaded me :-D :-D

Not on your nelly!

Apart from the fact that my OH's eyes glaze over, if he ever came on to GR to defend me I'd be banned for life twice over! When he lets rip, everyone gets a slice of home truth!

Usually his answer is 'tell them to ***** orf' or something like that. Only once has he threatened to take up membership, and that was a couple of years ago when lots was going on off the site. ;-)

On here? Never!! In real life only if it got really bad but generally my OH knows I can handle things myself quite nicely but......he will listen.

My sister was dreadful when she was married....blimey you only had to bring something up that gave her the hump (common place in my family lol) and he'd be there jabbing his finger at you.

pffffffffffffft.

He invariably made things 100 times worse than they needed to be...and now she's separated......we have a much better relationship x

Ask my OH to defend my honour? ..... don't be silly :-0.

Similar to Teresa.

His stock answers have always been " **ck 'em" or " **ck it".

Different story though when it all goes " t**s up". :-S :-S

my hubby would defend me if it was physical
but ifs its verble say on a computer or a neighbourly dispute
he would just say
i am well able to deal with anything thrown at me myself

infact somebody once made the mistake of having a go at my hubby
before the person got to my hubby
i had decked him and had him in a head lock
till the police arrived and arrested him
it was the talk of the neighbour hood for months

if my hubby interefered i would be fuming to be honest
my disputes are exacltly that MINE

and i am not a baby

I wouldn't mess with you Joy :-0

haha sue
your my friend your diffrent hun

but my grandson would fight your hubby
and love every moment like last time
he has asked when his mate alans coming back round
a few times as if you live round the corner lol x

:-0

sue your always welcome here xx

Mine was brought up to believe that the important thing is to keep up the pose at all times so he is more interested in looking like a good boy.

We have recently had words about this. I had had a run in with somebody and, on the way home, he started telling me how he could see both sides of the situation.

Well,I don't care what he can see, When somebody has upset me I want him to comfort and placate me.It is his unique roll as my partner.

He lost a job that I would not have even considered him for. When he lost it I was saying all the right things to him.It is not a time for my opinions.It is a time for me to support,

Mine OH is a quite man, and he is the only one that is able to cool my tempter when I loose it which isnt often but when I do it can last for days. He grants me with enough intelligence to be able to defend myself I am the youngest of 4 sisters I have learnt that from the crib. In my everyday life like Sue I have had to be broad shoulded, thats to say he does get upset if I am and he would defend me to end if need be but with my gob the time has never arose :-D

I think your OH and mine are quite similar in that way Hayley. They don't say too much but watch everything. I'm also the youngest and I do think it teaches you to REALLY stand up for yourself more having that position in the family.... Certainly my youngest is far feistier than my eldest.....so I think there's a lot in that.

Sharron it's so hard to help them when they lose their jobs....I remember it very well...just gentle encouragement...not so much that it's pressure...but not so little that they demotivate...it's like walking a tight rope.x

certainly not,,,Ive dealt with tough cookies and they dont faze me but I have 2 sides one trained to be diplomatic and in personal life jumping jack flash............my OH wouldnt get involved,unless it was physical to deal with a another male.

cat calls dont interest him..... ;-)
