They NEVER listen, but ALWAYS have the answers!

The ex used to complain, "You yes me to death, then do whatever the hell you want to anyhow" Which was true about 50% of the time and is the main reason he is now 'the ex' I get to do whatever the hell I want to do all of the time now!

We inhabit different planes of existence. Interspersed with occasional social encounters.

It is only when we expect something different than this that we become frustrated with the opposite number.

Heh.

My problem has always and ever been that I have never understood the need for some to 'tell' others what to do, when to do or how to do it. If I ask for an opinion, it doesn't mean I am asking for direct orders. Of course there is always the reality of the two planets to consider.... Venus, a boiling, barren cauldron and Mars a vast airless wasteland visited by dust devils extraordinaire!

description. Which would, of course, mean that I am a swirling maelstrom of hot air and detritus. Pretty close, actually.

The need to tell others what to do, however, is not a gender linked trait. Trust me on this . . . .

I'm not buying the swirling maelstrom of hot air and detritus... you are much too 'gallant'

I do agree, however, that it is not a gender specific trait.... I don't like the 'others' either!
