The Logical Song

"When I was young, they said that life would be..."

I tell my wife way too much. It starts out as a nice thought - "hey, I'll tell my wife everything, I'll never keep secrets from her, she's my best friend."

With that naive ideal, you start spewing at the mouth. You tell your wife how many women you've slept with, you talk with her about your business partner and the troubles you face, you tell her your problems with your boss... because after all, she is your best friend.

Now at first it seems like a painful coincidence that everytime you bring up your problems at work, your wife or girlfriend starts to "argue" with you.

But if you're really quick, after a couple of years you'll realize that you should stop telling your wife your work problems. Quite simply, do not bring your work home.

But isn't that wrong? Isn't that keeping secrets from your wife? NO!!! It's playing it smart. The only thing you are keeping from your wife by not talking about your work is, aggravation.

There is nothing that a woman hates more than to see her sniveling husband come home and bitch about his job. You are supposed to be her pillar, her rock - you're not helping the situation by coming home and complaining or bitching about your work... and showing weakness.

But above all the aggravation and the weakness.. women do not understand
a "man's logic."

After years of telling your wife about your plans and challenges, she will start to question your strategies. She'll ask questions to which you know the answer, but you just can't articulate it; which creates more doubt.

She'll start to question your business plan. She hasn't read "THE ART of WAR" so her questions may seem obvious to you, but not to her - so save the frustrations and don't involve her with your work plans, just show her the results.

All you can say is "trust me" but you haven't given her a reason to because you're no good at explaining your actions. You just want to get the results without having to explain how you'll get them. But make sure you do get results or you'll never get a leg up.

Laziness is another GAP in the battle of logic. What women see as lazy, we see as conserving energy.

Example: You move into a new house. While your wife is at work, you spend all day going back and forth packing and moving boxes.

You stack all the dishes (still packed in their boxes) with all the cutlery etc.. in the kitchen. When your wife gets home, she starts in with "Why didn't you put the dishes away?"

You answer the only way you can - with the truth.

"Well, I knew you wanted to decorate the kitchen, so I thought rather than unpacking the dishes and putting them away, just to have you re-arrange everything.. would be double the work."

"I can't believe how lazy you are..." comes flying out of her mouth. I guess my confused look was enough for her to keep it going... Because that's exactly what she did.

To this day, I'm still trying to find the "off" switch.

You don't need to tell your partner, wife or husband EVERYTHING. If it doesn't affect them, don't tell them.
