    No one would text like that. It's usually abbreviated. I would have believed more of the texting if it had been presented in txt speak.

    I wonder if you've been on the sauce, or something else... but I do agree with your sentiments, sort of, except

    I never use text talk. Ever. Mine would read just like that

    "oh dear he did it again, isn't it funny" stage?

    Really?!!

    From your learnedness - how many times for a spouse to leave the whole house open to burglars does it take to make a wife/husband start shouting?

    How many times does a man/woman run the tank of the jointly owned and funded car down to zero, and walk blithely away, before the wife/husband starts yelling this so-called 'abuse'?

    How many times does a spouse keep saying "oops- sorry" while never once forgetting his/her dates with his/her mates, before a wife/husband starts saying I'm sick of this unfairness?

    If people want to talk, this early, about divorce, I suggest that the OP takes a look at his own behaviour - debt, irresponsibility, utter carelessness, blase, contempt of his wife's work, contibution and viewpoint, short-sighted name calling ....

    OP - if what you really want is a substitute mother, do your wife a favour - !!!!!! off home to your parents, let them save you from your immature shenanigans, and leave your wife to find somebody who will work alongside her to achieve something worthwhile.

    PS I'm not that far from Cambridge. I can offer lodgings if you become in need of somewhere ... but you'd need to take responsibility for yourself - no silly business with wallets ... my householder insurance wouldn't cover you.

    Me...on the sauce! How very dare you! ;)

    Anyhow, as far as I recall, the OP and wife are quite young, and I know from experience that the young uns abbreviate.

    I dont either much, but there ya go.

    No, they are mid 30's. That's why this all seems so immature and intense. I'm that age and both OH and I frequently do daft things but we just roll our eyes at each other and move on.

    Yea, us too. But things can get heated now and then. Shows the spark is still there I reckon. Apathy and indifference are the opposite of love.

    sometimes the crazy ones just love getting married, but then after they are married they have to get divorced to get married again, its all part of the excitment
