happythoughts 0 #26 December 19, 2002 Exactly. I cannot believe that when weighed against the balance of your relationship, she isn't willing to simply overlook this. A minor detail compared to the years of selfless support and care that you have given to her. You can quote me. What would she rather have? A dirty tub and a wonderful dog-cleaning hubby who does chores and cleans? Or a clean tub? I rest my case. It would be shallow for this to even matter. Apparently, your side of the relationship is on a much deeper plane. In fact, show her this thread. She will immediately realize how great you are by comparison to selfish persons such as myself who never wash dogs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve, If it's just a mess, clean it up and don't justify the bitchin with responses other than "It's clean now... And so is the dog." Nick My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

You have to be able to see it from the bit....I mean woman's point of view. That's where the nice guys always get in trouble. Trying to be nice. Giving a dog a bath is just an example of how that works. I am totally worthless, so I am never accused of doing anything. That's how I keep the peace.

Gawain 0 #39 December 19, 2002 Oh jeez...just clean up the tub, chlorine, filters, etc., make sure your old bro isn't shedding anymore, and tell your other half that you'll use the bathtub next time if it's cold, and ask forgiveness. If she keeps hanging over you for weeks to come, advise her to get over it, and then suggest that she write Ann Landers...er...wait, didn't Landers die this year? So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Sebazz1 2 #42 December 19, 2002 Steve, [shaking head back and forth] You dodo head... You best appologize for washing your dog in the jacuzzi! It's a dog for goodness sake. Just hose the thing off and dry him quickly even if it is winter. It is an animal! Or a bath tub or shower, but the jacuzzi? Silly. Anyway I would stay home and appologize. Something about wine and candle light should do the trick...Good Luck Steve! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowwhite 0 #44 December 19, 2002 I have a Jacuzzi TUB too. Folks this means this is your main bathtub/shower, so unless you happen to have a second full tub in another bathroom somewhere this is where you do your main bathing. My dog 'Free Fall' gets bathed in the Jacuzzi about every 3 months. It is easy to clean up after him (which I do) and if anyone in the family complains about it, I tell them, 'why do you bitch about him taking a bath there once every three months? You take a bath there everyday, and he NEVER complains about you"skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #45 December 19, 2002 Quote Quote Something about wine and candle light should do the trick... Or just smack her around for a half hour. It really depends on the relationship. I was going to suggest going to a really loud bar. If complains, say "It reminds me of the 'old days' when we first started dating". Play the romance angle. Plus if she keeps complaining, you can't hear her. Next, go for tequila shots. Eventually, nothing will matter and you can boink her later. If she says that you are sleeping in the dog house with the dog, point out that it is an improvement because at least HE has had a bath recently.

Jonno5 0 #46 December 19, 2002 I say: grow a pair and explain who is the boss around the house.Tell her to get in there and clean up the mess.Then when she is done show her the kitchen and ask her if she dosnt have some baking to do.After getting you your fourth beer of course.

Hey, if Dr. Ruth can give advice on sex, why can't a divorced guy give advice on relationships? I can certainly identify all the mistakes. Obviously this is a serious problem and may lead to conflict. Let's face it. He gave the dog a bath. This could lead to divorce proceedings. People can be edgy on an empty stomach. Maybe if she fixed him a nice sandwich, they could talk about it more rationally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve1 5 #50 December 20, 2002 I finally figured out what the real source of the problem is. Yes, the mystery is solved. It's the wrong time of the month!! I just got the news. I guess I should have known. The signs were all there: extreme grumpiness over the littlest things, a lot of frowning, tremendous mood swings, etc. Why is it that women can't be nice all the time like us men folk.
