In an earlier post, I mentioned being pleased that my wife had selected a neutral color for our carpet, and we wouldn't need new accessories.
Well guess what. She told me today we need new drapes. Need mind you, as in we need food to eat and need water to drink.
I'm pretty sure I could survive just fine without new drapes, but if I make an issue of it I'm sure I'll regret it and eventually give in.
But, if I give in pleasantly enough, with just enough resistance to make sure she's aware of my displeasure, I may be able to use this to get something we really do need. Like a nice LCD TV for the garage, and having an idea what the drapes will cost, I may even be able to squeeze a Playboy subscription out of this.
After you're married awhile, a long while in our case, you eventually learn how to play the game. Although, I sometimes think she's a better player than me.
