The secret to a long marriage/relationship is…

compromise never being right. Having just sent a message to my husband telling him he hasn’t got his garage keys with him he has decided to officially label some structures/buildings, to help clear things up. So we now have ‘the garage’, ‘the wash shed’, ‘the garden shed’ and ‘the wood shed’. I requested the later of which to be named ‘the bottom garage’ because it’s the bottom of everything we have and it’s a garage. I was then informed it wasn’t a garage so to save me even attempting to win the discussion it’s now named ‘the wood shed’. One of these days I’ll be right and I’ll announce when it happens and I’m told so but be ready with your sharpened axes and utensils of death because this announcement will also herald the end of time! Who can share an equal annoyance where you’ve compromised just to save an argument?

Do you want to be helped, heard or hugged?

I want to boak...

As to the long marriage, there's an element of dumb luck landing with someone who remains easy to live with over the long term, along with all the other stuff above.

I only voice an opinion if I’m bothered about the outcome, the rest of the time it’s a “yes dear”.

I like to think I’m keeping my powder dry, it’s probably cowardice in reality.
