That’s related to something I hate, which is the whole ‘wife as ball and chain, bender of ear, destroyer of fun’.
Mate, your marriage might be a vortex of anguish from which you cannot escape, but I married my wife because I’m happy to spend time in her vicinity.

Totally agree with that, and I am aware that that strain of “humour” is pretty endemic in our culture and that it would be good to see it eradicated. In my case, it’s not so much a case of being in “trouble” with Mrs Ludd as it is of plain embarrassment about my lack of decisiveness and my fickleness. And I am glad to have her sensibleness around as well as the other stuff.

The ‘man cave’ thing.
A neighbour just asked me if I was having one in our house when the extension is done.
I wanted to say ‘no because I’m 39 and I’m allowed to do what I want and I married someone I don’t hate and feel the need to avoid’.
But obviously I just said ‘ha ha - no’.
