Interesting. As it happens I am almost always right, too! But I'm not touchy about it.

But marriage is all about compatibility, and luckily I married an equal asshole: if I say the dinner in delicious tonight, she cuts right in with: "So are you saying that last nights dinner wasn't up to my usual standards"?! Same with flowers and chocolates: like many tough Scottish women she regards peace offerings with waspish suspicion!

Her standard response to being found wrong on anything is to threaten to leave, which is pure bluff, but she cant resist saying it. I'd describe our relationship as lively and argumentative at times, but the rest of the time we are brilliant, and generally we give as good as we get. Take the rough with the smooth, eh?

We've been together for 36 years, so it must work, and its seldom dull. I would hate a dull marriage!
