This is a great thread...funny how relationships still work even if the communication breaks down a bit...it's cuz of this little thing called LOVE.
LOVE makes the world go 'round, LOVE never fails, LOVE is blind...
I for one am really glad love is blind sometimes, or your Bounty Hunter would be nappin' in the doghouse way more...
We know men and women think differently...that's a good thing, and one of the reasons being married is never boring. Let's face it, us guys are never gonna figure women out. How's that song go? Women are like a maze that the walls are constantly changing?
So when ya get down to the basic things, men (and women) can make mistakes and...their spouse is still going to love them because it's the love that is more important than the mistake. Try not to make big mistakes (something like infidelity would be on the top 'o that list), make the same mistake twice (if you get hammered for a 460, don't go buy an 880 and not tell her), and don't hide yer mistakes...it will only turn into lies and that makes any mistake a big mistake.
If you really enjoy collecting saws, tell her! Be honest, ya bought a new saw cuz you really wanted it! Love grows with honesty and trust...grows strong and solid, and mistakes become a lesser thing because when you love, trust, and are honest, you tell yer mate everything and she knows everything...even how much ya want that saw. Then you both can share in the joy of buying and bringing home yer new toy, and won't have to hide it instead.
Just the way i see it Brother...
Good Luck and Saw Safe
