I may be an odd duck because my husband and I simply do not have issues or disagreements. After all this time we remain the best of friends with an ever growing respect for each other’s wishes and desires. It often times seems like a miracle to me.
And, we are direct opposites….he’s an introvert and I’m an extrovert.
I would add to the list whether or not the toilet seat needs to be lowered once men use it.
Dear Joan,
Absolutely hilarious and unfortunately oh, so true.
WoWOWoW is fabulous. Hope you are well.
Best regards,
