Eh, I was guilty of this all the time. Fortunately, Aili was never hesitant to inform me whenever I was being weapons-grade stupid.

Now that adjective is both incrediably descriptive and poetic. Thanks for the linguistic imagery.

Good thing he got his tools out. Because in a sec, he will be building a dog house for himself.

Funny, but also how it seems like it's only ever the man in relationships who does something wrong in these comics -- methinks RJ has a rather idealized view of women, in some ways.

Lilly is livid...

Nekocan... Ben's ALREADY THERE.

This sounds a lot like conversations my wife and I have:

Honey, what are you doing?
I'm moving these logs from behind the fence.
Why are you doing that?
Because you told me to clean up the area behind the fence.
Well, where are you going to put them?
I'm going to put them by the back door.
Why are you putting them...
WOMAN, WILL YOU GET TO THE POINT??

Honey, when are you going to paint the living room?
Like I said before, when you choose the color.
Oh, anything is okay.
No, it isn't. We went through this with the family room, remember? I had to repaint it because you didn't like the color.
Well, why don't you just bring me some paint samples?
Have you been to a paint store recently? There are literally hundreds of different shades. Now, if you can limit that down to around ten, I bring you some samples.

Why is it that we only have to worry when the wife gets PO'ed? When the husband gets PO'ed, he's the one at fault for losing his temper. I know this one too well.

Well, actually....
I'd noted that I've got a tendency in the strip, tho the man may make the woman MAD, subsequently it's the man who's proven in the right when the dust settles.

Remember, when the husband is right, he should immediately apologize.

Sheesh. Are we getting lazy here? A new face shows up and nobody comments?

Let's fix that.

*offers a paw to Nekocan* Welcome to the forums! Please leave your sanity at the door, your regulation abestos suit can be picked up in room three, and please remember not to feed Solidus. Ever.

^_^ Other than that, have fun!

True, at least for the "classic" relationship (and therefore probably most of them). More Mars/Venus generalization thinking.

So have you considered giving us a reversal, Ralph? Have Lily do something that bothers Ben? Maybe have them both proven wrong?

(A good marrage is like a business partnership - at least in part. There needs to be communication, cooperation, and compromise from both partners to keep things going right. So says the outsider.)

No problem. My sweety always did have a gift for words.

Being young and single, I've yet to be in such a situation, but even I sense trouble looming. Not lasting trouble, but a little trouble.
Oh yeah, finally got around to checking this comic out (for some reason it took me a few weeks to migrate here from Nip& Tuck and ToTQ but only a few short hours to read the archives.) and can't wait for more! =) Well Done as usual sir.
