A day in the life of a husband.....

Or:

Wife: Blah, blah, yeta, yata. What did I say?

Husband: Ummm, uhhh, yata, blah

Wife: hey, that isn't what I said: sometimes I honestly don't think you listen to me!

Husband: I was joking baby and I do listen and sorry that I give the impression that I don't. I love you!

Wife: angry look turns into a smile.

Husband: worried look turns into a smile to see his wife smiling.

Wife: throws a pillow at husband

Husband: feigns hittiing the ground.

Wife: joins him......

Life goes on, due to open communications; a heck of a sense of humor and learning to understand each other.

And, of course, the above works both ways.

Been married to an nt for 25 years and gradually learning lol

I forgot to mention originally that the post is meant to be humorous.

My husband complains all the time that I am a great one for ruining a joke! It also shows that just because we are aspies, does not make it suddenly different lol

I also do say, in my defence, that jokes to do with racism or about women etc, are not really jokes to my mind, because they will hurt someone!

Glad that this does not reflect you!
 
No problem, and your post is more reflective of most realities I hope!

I am afraid that there is no hope, because too many couples lack the understanding of what makes a good marriage. I try very hard to be the person that I describe, but often fail. But it does not take away that it would solve many arguments and I have my faith to thank for how to talk to each other. One thing I have learned to do, is be quiet when my husband says something that is unfair and found that soon it is forgotten. So, sometimes silence is golden lol

Actually, I was trying to relate to married women in a way. I haven't met one yet that did not at some point want to "smack my husband for not listening to me".
