Mandate for the bedroom. Wives, don’t save up your problems to discuss in the bedroom because you think husband will be in a good mood. He wants to think of only two things at bedtime—sleep, sex, or both. Also, he should never hear you express a fear, anxiety, blame, guilt, or other negative thought just before or after retirement at night. He either feels guilty or blameworthy with no way to ‘fix’ it at the time, which transmutes your problem into you as his problem. It disturbs both his sleep and sex drive, if he is devoted to you.
Men see justice through the lenses of fairness and women through the lenses of equality. Except when they’ve been politically activated to seek and preach equality, women see the futility of it. For example, mothers raise children to focus on fairness. They teach children to share and share alike, and the results can never be claimed as truly equal. In the real world not stirred by gender politics, fairness enables resolution of differences, whereas equality does not. Nothing is ever equal except that people with the greatest power declare it so, and inequality continues in another form.

The last two lines of this post are beautiful and profound….
Sir Guy, you’re a wonderful man.
