    Give him time and space, then a steak and a BJ should sort things out nicely, then you can try and talk to each other more (face to face, not by txt, email or by checking up behind each other's backs).

    :D

    Hahaha, I'm always amazed at how happy this makes my OH! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Agreed GEE, I commented earlier how sulking doesnt achieve anything, I cant imagine one of these mentioned acts has had an outcome of ending a war! And it certainly will not get to the bottom of what we need to talk about.

    How can he ever rebuild trust WHEN YOU WILL NEVER trust him!

    I can imagine you went on and on about the !!!!!! until he was desperate, anyway its his life why can't he look at !!!!!!, many many other men (and sometimes woman) do! You can't change people to suit what you want them to be, sometime you have to accept them for what they are, with faults as well. I take it it is because you don't like !!!!!! you did not want him to look at it. I don't like !!!!!! but I accept that men do look at it plus page 3 of the sun (well my work colleagues certainly do!) Everybody keeps talking about the time he lied about !!!!!!, is there any other actually serious life threatening issues he has lied about? Everybody lies whether it is a small "white lie" to make people better or a whopper. I do not like lies or liars, but yes I am guilty when my mum phones and I tell the kids to tell her I am in the shower, or I tell my OH he looks great in those bright green shorts etc etc. A lie is a lie, just like a thief is a thief if he steals a biro or a million pounds.
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.

    He's a man, it's !!!!!!.
    You ask, he says no, at that you put the magazines back on top of the wardrode, (or nowadays close the browser, or put the dvd back in the draw, or you're really mean, swop it for the real snow white and the seven dwarfs).
    What you don't do is keep on asking and increasing the stake until you make him swear on your life, as we all know what happens then.
    (it's like those surprises, women don't really want to know about !!!!!!, so men are kind and don't tell them as it won't hurt them, whereas knowing will.
    Or it may hurt us, and then that in turn will upset them as well. So it's for your own good either way)

    SOME women might not want to know about it, but a lot of us either aren't fussed in the slightest, or enjoy it ourselves. In which case, it could be a shared joy ;)

    We men are but simple creatures who enjoy simple pleasures.

    To be fair her complaint might have had something to do with the timing, as Steak and BJ day is traditionally celebrated in March (1 month after valentines day) so it is a bit late this year or very premature for next year.

    :D



    Even better , the OH forgets what he was sulking about and she still has time to watch Eastenders :rotfl:

    Spender - thanks for your input.

    I know all men look at !!!!!!, I know why they look at !!!!!!, I dont care, I did a soft !!!!!! shoot in my earlier years for a bit of fun, I DO NOT CARE ABOUT !!!!!!. Other half knew all this and still said to me he hadnt looked at any. I know you say a lie is a lie, but I want my partner to be honest when asked a simple question.

    Swearing on someones life is taking the lie a hell of a lot further and IMO not acceptable

    The reason it emerged was his upbringing, his mother forced him into the belief it was wrong, like he has never once told me about a fantasy, he just wont. I will never be able to comprehend how some people can brought up like that!

    so why did you make a big thing about it then which obviously forced him to lie
