The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 17, 2023

But do you laugh together?

It’s just a problem of tuning: you two are not on the same wavelenght.

Best way, keep your yap shut!

So she has no problem making you understand why you are wrong?

You’d think that after all these years of marriage Gladys would have done a better job of training him.

Reminds me of when people state, You don’t listen to me, when what they really mean is, You don’t do what I tell you to.

He hasn’t learned how to tune her out yet.

The real problem Brutus has is with Gladys’ mother. While Brutus and Gladys get along quite well, even with the occasional disagreements.

communication breakdown…

“Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife”

There’s a big difference in talking with each other and talking at each other.

Good old Brutus !

there’s one thing you both agree on, you two enjoy eating. :D

A common problem

It happens.

Atta boy Brutus…atta boy!

no couple agrees all the time but the ones that stick together get past it

While of course there are exceptions where some husbands and wives TOTALLY AGREE on everything (Yeah Ha Ha), it all started with Adam and Eve and went downhill ever sinceHowever, civilizations adapted and many of us do have a peaceful and agreements aside, even joyful, co-existence with our spouses…….

Ok at least they communicate clearly enough to disagree. Poor Brutus. It’s always 2 on 1 in their discussions because the old bat is always in Gladys’s amen corner!

If you just learned how to ‘yes dear’, everything would be fine.

I leave Brutus with this thought from Paige Braddock: “I find it best not to over think the mind of a woman. It is like string theory… somewhere, someone understands it, but that person, however, is not me.”

My mother’s name was Madge and her sister was Gladys! She also had a sister named Myrtle.

Communication means you understand each other. Agreeing is not necessary and arguing is not allowed

Just like Brutus and Veeblefester they agree to disagree…

I think Brutus is being astute today.

A gentleman I know, when asked how he and his wife managed to stay together as long as they did, remarked that it was easy since one or the other of them was never at home. She was a flight attendant and was often out of town and, at times, out of the country.
