[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am unbelievably happily married. No pretending here either! In fact I think I downplay our happiness since all my friends aren't so happily married. No one wants to be the downer at happy hour when all their friends are whining about their lazy husbands!

I thank my lucky stars daily that my DH is amazing and such a hard worker, cleaner, cook, etc. [/quote]

This is why I hate being among women who make a habit out of tearing down their husbands. And we're all expected to participate like it's just what women do.

My DH rocks.[/quote]

I'm glad your dh is wonderful, but some women aren't as fortunate as you are. It's not that women enjoy tearing down their husbands, but sometimes a good outlet for frustration and a sympathetic ear is necessary to maintain one's sanity.[/quote]

You know the types I mean -- always ending up in the "he's so dumb, thoughtless, sloppy ..." conversation. Can't we have a discussion that doesn't come back to the "idiots" we married? As I said, my DH rocks. He's far from perfect, but I don't get any satisfaction in the routine insults.[/quote]

I've only met one woman who has made personal insults against her husband. Everyone else I know is just venting. They have young kids and their husbands seem to think their job ends when they come home. They rarely do family outings, help with the kids, etc. or they have very controlling husbands who still don't help with the kids. IMO, they had legitimate complaints. I've never been in a room with a bunch of women just insulting their husbands for no reason or just to be mean. Also, most of our discussions aren't about husbands. We talk about lots of things including topics routinely seen on this forum.[/quote]
