Why do we marry our opposites?

[venator]

Here I am, sitting at the computer since 6.00 and waiting for my lovely wife to become conscious around 12.00.
I'm full of beans and sunshine in the mornings ; she's a night bird, does ironing in the middle of the night.
(Yes, we do have a child)

Sympathy, anyone?

[woofgang]

errrrr.......no!

[albaqwerty]

each one is a martyr :D

Sympathy? For who?

I'm just jealous that despite having a child your wife doesn't get out of her pit until dinnertime! Perhaps if she did, she might spend more of the daytime awake.

Do either of you work?

[venator]

The child is grown up - I'm retired, but working.
My better half works 2 or 3 nights a week - but she was always a nightbird - I think this is why she chose to work nights.
Having said that, the night work has upset her body clock good & proper!

[terambulan]

One compensates for t'other.

[albaqwerty]

go and ravish her at 11 am :D

then I'll know who I have sympathy for.......

[B00]

Ahhh, now you've clarified ;-)

Now see I was prepared ot get stroppy, thinking of some slovenly housewife who dragged herself out of her pit whilst a small child runs riot all morning with a stinky nappy and hungry.

If she works nights, i fully understand it. I did nights for 9 years, and it does bugger your internal clock up. Leave her be, just tihnk about it this way, if you barely see each other- less time for rowing ;-)

Thanks, Boo. I posted this for a bit of light hearted banter, but you've come up with some sense! Come to think, we don't row much at all.

I shall come to you with all my little problems in future, like how can we get our daughter to marry and/or leave home!

[B00]

Bloody hell, don't come to me with your problems, you'll end up with more than what you stsrted with if you follow my advice!

Bu the sounds if it though, you and your missus have got it sussed anyway ;-)

Have a great day.

Why don't you do some ironing or other housework in the mornings instead of just sitting at the computer for 6 hours????

Anyone else confused by the statement, "I'm retired but working"?
