Yes I am respectful when working and a right git at home.

What I was really saying about him losig his job etc, was that, as a partner, your role is to be on side when needs must.

They may be partially to blame but, at that time, it is cruel and lazy to tell them.They do not need to know until later, they need comfort and support.

Depends on the situation?

I think if one is unable to defend one's own honour, for a good reason, then it is perfectly valid for an OH to step in and say "this is a lie...etc, leave her alone ".

I can think of one case immediately where a spouse speaking on OH's behalf ( for the sake of honesty and justice) would be perfectly acceptable!

I defend my own, I expect my own to defend me IF needed lol. I don't think that's 'defering' in any way...it's 'back up' lol.

Definitely Rose. I would agree with that.

Obviously if it was something ultra serious then that goes without saying.

I'm talking real life kind of run of the mill situations.

Not real life changing humdingers lol x

Muffy, like you said about the garage, I found when doing up this house that some of the plumbers and electricians would try and go the ' the little woman won't know about such stuff so we'll add on some 00's' route. But I do lol so they didn't get away with it :-D

However, and not having an OH, when it comes to anything computer wise like dealing with broadband supplier I defer to Dan lol he knows it all ;-)

Aaaaa you see I have to admit I'm proper clueless on anything like that so it's either OH or Dad who i get to do all that sort of thing for me I should address that really because I don't like that I do it.

Just thinking back I'd say there have been maybe 2 occasions in the last 17 odd years when OH has stepped in......both to do with a family row...and he got an earbashing off me both times for his pains so poor soul can't win lol....I like things done and said MY way or not at all.....all i need from him is to nod wisely and bring me some wine once I've calmed down...that's quite sufficient for me loolololol x

Having read this :-S :-0,I,m surprised that you lot don,t get together and form a company called "Bouncers United" and work the Nightclub Circuits, :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-)

We are too hard. You have to show some constraint as a bouncer.

Well dressed up in a Monkey Suit would constrain you a little.trouble is you would all have to have your heads shaved. :-D :-D
