    Aw c'mon Hof, no-one actually said it was ok for her to talk to him like that.

    The general agreement was that she was out of line for doing so.

    Just for the record as i have go home now (only do this sort of thing in work time ....... work for the public sector you see), i only think it is acceptable when they have REALLY wound you up, you know such as leaving a dirty cup on the side etc, that sort of thing.

    This post is funny but makes an extremely valid point.

    As a woman I am often baffled by the double standards I read about on this site.

    You wouldn't want to live with me then, you'd end up putting my head through the window I'd left open.

    Thanks Fannyanna, i was just trying to highlight the double standards and not belittle ANY form of abuse. I was just getting wound up by some of the responses on another thread, and the majority were from women who were (sort of) saying that it wasn't abuse (woman doing it to a man), where as for me it is abuse irrelevant of sex.

    I will stop now i promise :)

    If I've done something stupid, then I'm obviously stupid, so why would it bother me if my husband told me I was stupid?

    Should he just ignore my stupidity and buy me some diamonds and a horse?
