Ok so you’ve gone through the dating process and have finally tied the knot. What can you expect as a wife or husband? Well here’s a tongue in cheek look at what might be in store.
1. Wife to husband: “Darling, I’ve got a headache, can we put something in the diary for next month.”
2. Wife to husband: “I know it’s cold tonight but where’s the little chap gone to.”
3. Husband to wife at a dinner party: “Don’t mind the wife, she’s got lady issues at the moment.”
4. Wife to husband after a few beers: “I’m tired and your floppy, so no you can’t do that.”
5. Husband to wife: “Your almost as beautiful as you once were.”
6. Wife: “Do I look ok in this dress?” Husband:” You look fine.” Wife: “What do you mean I look fine??”
7. Husband to wife: “Is there really a need to do the dishes before we go to bed?”
8. Wife to husband: “That guys butt looks so much firmer than yours.”
9. Wife to husband: “Are those pecs or man boobs? I can’t tell.”
10. Wife to husband: “Honey, what is this receipt for £600 at Spear Mint Rhino? It says for drinks and sundry items!”
In the past I’ve given you 6 cracking questions to ask on a date, now I’m going to give you another 6 that you just shouldn’t ask (for obvious reasons!)
“So, tell me about your best shag?”
“You make me want to come off the heroin”
“What’s your shag tally, how many you had, and what’s your best position?”
“What’s my chances of getting a shag with you?”
“My ex and I use to come here all of the time, infact she used to sit exactly where you are sitting!”
“Will you marry me?”

I read recently that dating couples, sometimes who have only been together for a couple of months are requiring third party conflict resolution and counselling for their relationships, and this trend is growing. I had to read the article twice before I believed it.
“Definitely, I’m seeing more and more couples who are dating who aren’t necessarily getting married or living together,” says Catherine Wood, a Canadian psychotherapist and couples coach for 13 years. About a third of her clients are couples who have been dating for as little as six months, and this part of her practice is growing.
Stop doing this and get rid of them if it aint working!
My question is whether these couples are more realistic about love? Or postponing an inevitable breakup, whilst enjoying wasting their money?
Ms. Wood says people are dating longer and are cautious about marriage and wary of divorce. They are also more comfortable with getting professional help for personal problems than previous generations might have been. “The concept of couples therapy and coaching is becoming more and more in vogue,” Ms. Wood says.
These clowns are paying up to $150 per hour for a referee (basically). Surely a charity would benefit more from this money than a doomed relationship. If it aint working get the hell out of there, there are loads of other mates out there, some people just have too much money and no sense what to do with it..

We are all aware that Men are from Mars and Women from Venus. Whose from Uranus? Never mind.
But I thought this image found on sprottphysics summed up the difference between the sexes a little more aptly. Plus it made me laugh on a Saturday afternoon so I thought I’d share it with you guys.

It’s the last thing you want to do but sometimes you just gotta do it for the sanity of you and your partner. You are playing with emotions that are often powerful and unpredictable. It’s likely that your partner may have stronger emotions for you than vice versa. One thing is certain though, your life won’t be happy again until you have sorted this issue out once and for all. The thought of being alone can be a daunting one, but this alone should certainly not stop you from making the break if you know it is right.
Britney obviously had her reasons from breaking with Justin the so called ‘Trousersnake’!
The key is to do it amicably and maturely, and without the need to ‘stick the knife in’. It’s about damage limitation to both of you, but you have a duty to do and you must be firm about it. In your ‘speech’ to your partner talk about the benefits to you both and how if it isn’t working for you then it is just not fair on them. Keep your language uncomplicated but supportive.
The worst thing you can do is buckle once you have said it and agree to give it another go. You know when it isn’t right so why try to keep the pain going.
