His and her diary entry of the same day
 

Her Diary: Tonight, I thought my husband was acting strangely. He was in his shop most of the afternoon, but we had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong; He said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior I don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.' When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.

His Diary: Car wouldn't start, can't figure out why.

THANK YOU, Wayne02!!

Yes, indeed... thank you. Strangely I needed this reminder today. Help comes from the oddest of places at times.

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

Wayne, you got me into hot water.http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/a...g%20potion.gif I thought diary entry's were great, so much that I showed it to the DW. First thing she got angry. Why didn't he tell her the car wouldn't start? Why was he being such a jerk, she was worried? On and On. Your post is so true, so true. Here's my dairy entry for today:http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticon...gif?1292867702 Dear Diary, from now and until eternity I will only read Homesteading Today in private. I will not share with anyone, I will keep it to myself and will chuckle within, savoring the solitude, keeping my thoughts and feelings to myself .

"He" keeps a diary?? Wow, thats a giant step forward! Next thing you know he will start getting in touch with feelings and stuff. :)

Terrific. Too funny! :clap:

Proof that men don't know how to communicate! :D

OH MY LOLOLOOL..love it

That's funny! (and so true...)

.....and that women are not the mind readers that they think they are....... ;)

yes, we worry too much. yes, that's a man; he isn't complicated (not as near much work as a woman) and we need to remember that . . . (we women, I mean)

and YES, I've known some complicated men; but alot of them are just like the op described. Too funny! (happened to me many times)

LOL So funny!!!!

This is too funny and so accurate! I was just discussing this very subject with another HTer a few days ago.

So, how come he didn't tell her about the car? :huh:

Well, in my case I wouldn't tell her about the car because my wife knows little about mechanics so there is no reason to bother her with it.

Probly because it didn't cross his mind that he should tell her. :shrug:

Football is a very complicated game, but not a complex game. There are numerous confusing rules, that change frequently, and trick plays used to deceive the competition. You have a set amount of time to complete the game.

It is not subtle however. The goal is to push forward.

Baseball on the other hand is complex but not complicated. The rules are simple, and rarely change. It does however have nuances like the suicide squeeze , bunts, and the intentional walk. There is no time kept, the game lasts as long as it lasts.

Women are football.

Men are baseball.

Flame away! :D

How did he get to the restaurant if his car wouldn't start? lol

Drove the truck.

Mine tells me about it when it won't start, especially if he doesn't know why. I spell much better than he does, so I have to Google up helpful suggestions. Just spent several days getting multiple things to try on DDs truck... Got it fixed!

So if you guys know we are like that, why don't you step up and reasure us a bit, sure wouldn't hurt you. After all we woman try to make sure you all know how great you are. At least most of us do.

I told my Yvonne I loved her long before we got married... I also told her that if that ever changes, I will be sure and let her know. Whats the point in wasting all the energy to rehash this stuff every year? or in some cases every month!! Have you girls no memory at all? ;)
