I too find it a little uncomfortable.
Physical strength is unnecessary I think and nothing to be gained by the descriptions 
Yes let's return to the topic in hand I think and lend some support and a helping hand to Bibby. She has now said quite a few times that her husband is a gentle man that she doesn't need protection from.
Sorry Bibby, sounds as if you had a nicer evening out. Perhaps hubby was listening after all. Hope your headache is better now.
Thing is, I didn't talk with him about things. But I really had a go at him when he was (once again) being awkward. He often has problems using technology, and carries on about it. But when I try to help him, he just ignores me. So I really had a go at him, told him I was only trying to help. Not shouting but I laid it on the line. Its rare I get that angry, and maybe he reflected on that and something's changed.
Many years ago my Mum told me I should get his attention more by being a handful, a challenge, flirting with blokes (like my sister). I rejected that, I am a bit of a fairytale person who believes in honesty and stability (not to mention 'what goes around, comes around'). So I carried on as I was, I was a doormat. Upshot is my sister has divorced 3 men and we've been married 45 years. And its not been all sweetness and flowers, he's been a stupid a-hole to me over the years, but its 10% of him and he never meant it vindictive ly. he is just not very aware, not sensitive and listening doesn't come naturally. It IS a pain, but I am here because the other 90% of the time he is just such a lovely, intelligent, funny, backbone in my life. When I moan, its that pesky 10% I am bitching about.
Sun is shining, its cooler today, the cicadas are making a racket and all's well with the world. Now, I think I had better go and DO something before I get a DVT, LOL!!!!! xXx
