Her Diary / His Diary

Well said, cannot agree more!
You guys have had experienced some dramatic girls? lol!
Ok, if I were the wife, "I" wouldn't expect "you" to explain the details of the technical issues. BUT, "you" could have told "me" that, you are worried about/pre-occupied by a problem of your motocycle. problem solved. both ppl would be happy cuz "I" probably couldn't care less about "your" motorcycle and it would shut "me" up right away.
Plus, these two ppl are a couple, the communication shouldnt be as minimal as if you are dealing with a stranger. And I'm damn sure you guys talk A LOT with your mechanics, even on non-bike related topics...e.g. baseball games or hot chicks...etc etc etc... lol! So, talk to your girls a bit more as well... and don't keep your mouth shut just because we may not be able to help or understand.
am I right, am I right, or am I right?
You have no idea about the dramatic girls, seems like these days there aren't any other kind sorry lol
But in all seriousness I have found recently that women are just as bad at communication as men are...you seldom say exactly whats on your minds choosing instead to play mind games and have us try to figure it out.
So while I respect what you're saying please allow me to tell you that you and the other ladies on this board that consider themselves good communicators are indeed the exception to the rule if in fact true.
I completely agree although, I bet there are guys on this forum who don't. lol. Infact the guy who wrote the diary in the OPs article post seems like he could be one of them...lol.

Poor guy... I hope you will be pleasantly surprised one day.
I agree though that women could be just as bad at communication, and sometimes we don't say what's on our minds.
However, in OP's story, the guy did the exactly same thing. there's definitely something bothering him big time, but he didn't tell his wife for whatever the reason it might be. Instead he chose to say "there's nothing wrong".
Well Harroo there....
:laughing9: Is this you showing off your superior communication skills?

Nobody else is bothered by the fact that the guy has a diary?
haha - good catch!
Or.. maybe he DOES know where it is, maybe he tried it on because he secretly likes feeling pretty!
Ugh... Thanks for the twist of my story... I guess u really like twisties... Lol!
For guys who are struggling to understand women - it is real easy to get what she really means:

I am married (only for a few months now) but have been with her for almost nine years. I have heard the happy wife = happy life line and I think that she is happy but no way will I just give in and say I am always wrong. If I am right and know I am than I will not apologize for something I did. If I messed up then sure but not if I didn't do anything wrong. Being wrong in the books kept by women is something completly different though. ALL WOMEN are crazy, they are just at a different level for each one, just like all guys are aholes just at different levels.I guess you are not married or don't have a girlfriend - it's always a man's fault. Perhaps I should specify - it always a man's fault in official history books kept by women
- Happy Wife = Happy Life
- magic saving phrase: "You are right, I am wrong and I am sorry".
If you use them properly - you are golden and you can even buy this extra bike you always wanted and get forgiveness (eventually
Regarding using them properly and getting the bike you always wanted, I have no problem there as I am looking right now at a new bike and at a new car which she keeps telling me to get a sports car that costs $25k more than one I have looked at just because she knows I want it.
Extra bike was used as an example
Just wait till you married a bit more - you'll see that "happy wife=happy life" is worth its weight in diamonds/platinum/etc. I am not saying always say that you are wrong - my wife is smart and intelligent and she has much more common sense than I do. She can be wrong too and I could be in the right but it is much better to just talk it over and you always have ace in your pocket (you r right, I am wrong and I am sorry).

I am stubborn and hard headed and wont be apologizing for not doing anything wrong. My wife knows this and has been with me for almost a third of my life now so it wont be changing anytime soon. I get what you are saying and everything but just wont be happening in our house anytime soon.
To each their own - it is not about apologizing for for not doing anything wrong. If she expects apology and you feel you did not do anything wrong - than clearly something still ****** her off (they way you did it or the way ypu communicated it). That's all I am trying to say. It is very much the same as riding the bike on the streets - tense situation between bike and the car and both rider and driver think they are 100% right while truth is somewhere in the middle.
