So I am probably going to get in big trouble for writing this blog but I feel that this is an important topic to discuss. It has nothing to do with Crossfit, diet, training, exercise, or fitness. This has to do with the battle between husband and wife. It all started yesterday. During the course of my day, I check out the latest baseball scores on mlb.com, read the newest drama in my friends' lives through FaceSpace, look at the Crossfit main page and our Springfield page at least 139 times, and last but not least, I check out the latest news on cnn.com. Yesterday's site was littered with updates on BP, the Gulf, Lindsay Lohan, and A-Rod trying in vain to hit 600. At the very bottom was a story titled '"Sugarbabe favors negotiated infidelity" Could letting your man sleep with another woman help your relationship?'

So right now I'm already an asshole for even reading the article but I wanted a good laugh and I love having good material to discuss with Uli as he struggles through the easiest of warmups at Crossfit (There's your shoutout Uli). The bottom line of the article is this. The wife says that her husband can sleep with whomever he wants as long as he doesn't stay the night. The husband says his wife can sleep with whomever she wants as long as she doesn't spoon.
*Disclaimer: I am 110% against any such agreement. This article is a great laugh at their reasoning*
Last night after dinner my wife and I were having some fun conversation and I brought up the article which I had read earlier in the day. Surprisingly, but not serious, she looks at me and says, "If I came to you with that same proposition, could you do it?" I went wrong with the following answer: "No, honey, I am way too jealous. I could never picture you with another guy."
Her response: "So, it's not because you just love me too much or you only want to be with me, but because you are too jealous?"
Sadam Hussein was convicted over the killing of 148 people in the town of Dujail following an assassination attempt on him in 1982. Not because of the hundreds of thousands he murdered in the Nineties when the US stormed Iraq. Not for any other war crimes other than 148 people he killed 30 years ago. Could the courts have had him executed for other larger, more obvious reasons? Yes. However, that one reason was all they needed. Case above; could I have used a thousand other reasons why I would never agree to the proposition? You bet. I threw out one reason and it bit me in the ass. The rest of the night, she just smirked and rolled her eyes at me, occasionally jabbing me with, "I'm glad you're jealous and its not just because you love me." I'm just glad my wife has a bigger sense of humor than I do. At least she pounds my face with kisses when she has me up against the ropes.

I'm sure that by "easiest of warmups" you meant "when Uli is benching 600lbs. and doing one armed pull ups." Common error, could happen to the best of writers.
ReplyDeleteDude, why are you so insensitive? But seriously, I'm right there with you brother. Here's what my response would have been, and you'll have to let me know how this one would have gone over with Shanna...
ReplyDelete"No, I couldn't let you do that because I would always worry that he was better in bed than me."
Yeah, try that one on for size...
I always find that when cornered with a question like that it is always easier to feign appendicitis and be rushed to the hospital then answer incorrectly. The colonoscopy's are uncomfortable but she usually forgets the question!
