Even if it's true.
What do you tell a man with two black eyes?
Nuthin... He's already called his wife a shiny, happy person.
I dunno, everyone needs a good fight now and then. It lets you say all the stuff you wouldn't dare say normally.
Plus, angry sex is awesome.
The "c" word reaaaaaalllllly puts them over the top, they aren't used to that here in North America.
BTW, I'm single, surprised?

Long story short, she and her family aren't talking. She's got other stresses going on too (doesn't everybody). I have been pretty patient for a few months, but that ran out this evening. So I played the shiny happy person card.
I know better than to use the c-word around anyone but the two transplanted Englishmen I know. Funny how that's somehow less or more offensive when you cross an ocean.

See last panel of this webcomic for best variation of the "c" word I've seen yet

I've got a cot I can loan you so you have somewhere comfy to sleep when she banishes you to the garage.

Quoted for truth...
I never understand the men who say their SO makes them unhappy...I don't get it. Isn't happiness the point of getting married? If she doesn't make you happy, why did you marry her?

You're never going to be happy 100% of the time. there will always be disagreements and moments when you want to strangle them with your bare hands. It's thosemoments, believe it or not, that remind you how much you do love them and how the rest of the time is great and worth the inconvience of this particular moment.
Anyone that thinks marriage is easy and happy happy all the time is a fool.... and likely single.
In reply to Maroon92:
Speaking as somebody who had to go through a divorce and try getting married a second time, the only answer I can give you is:
"Because I got married when I was in my early 20s and had no idea what life was about."

women marry men specifically hopeful they can change that man into what they want.
men marry women specifically hopeful she will stay exactly as she was when they met.
both end in tragedy

I don't think anyone was suggesting that marriage could somehow be perfect or simple. Any mature individual can separate a momentary reaction from an overarching reality of his life; if you find yourself thinking or saying that your wife, girlfriend, or boyfriend is an shiny happy person or that she makes you unhappy, there is something wrong with your or your relationship.

Hey all you single guys, Pay attention to this. Copy it & carry it around in your wallet. It might even make a good tatoo.

Nah, it ends up with two young 24 year olds in some old persons bodies (usually their parents) looking at each other wondering what happened......
Sometimes I look over and wonder who that old lady is in my bed. Then I look in the mirror and see my dad.
It's all good in the end.

Just don't look in the mirror while you're having sex.
The other word NOT to use, besides "C", is any mention of hormones. For some reason, that really sets them off. Don't ask me how I know.
Is it that time of the month?
It's so fun to say, but the fun vs pain and suffering ratio might not be worth it...
