I heard there are men there willing to pay $500 for what I do for you at no charge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The husband stood quietly for a moment before pulling out his own suitcase and beginning to pack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">His wife stared at him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;What are you doing?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;I&#8217;m coming too,&#8221; he answered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;Why?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">He smiled and zipped up his bag.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;I&#8217;d like to see how you&#8217;re going to survive on $1,000 a year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#x1f602;&#x1f602;&#x1f602;<\/p>\n<div contenteditable=\"false\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h3>The Day Tom Tried to Storm Out&#8230; and Failed Miserably<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">After a heated disagreement with his wife, Tom grabbed a small suitcase and headed for the front door.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;That&#8217;s it!&#8221; he announced dramatically. &#8220;I&#8217;m leaving and never coming back!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">His wife barely glanced away from her book.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;All right,&#8221; she said calmly. &#8220;But before you leave, could you take the garbage out?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Grumbling under his breath, Tom carried the trash outside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The moment he returned, she handed him a shopping list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;Since you&#8217;re already out, would you mind picking up a few things?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Annoyed, he drove to the store and returned a short while later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">His wife smiled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;Perfect. One last favor. The bedroom window won&#8217;t close properly. Could you fix it before you leave forever?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Several hours later, tired and sweaty, Tom finally grabbed his suitcase again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;This time I mean it,&#8221; he declared. &#8220;I&#8217;m really leaving.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">His wife nodded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;Okay. But who&#8217;s going to give me those wonderful shoulder massages every evening?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Tom hesitated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;I guess someone else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">She sighed dramatically.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;That&#8217;s unfortunate. You&#8217;re really good at it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Tom stopped in his tracks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Then she added, &#8220;And who&#8217;s going to keep my feet warm when they&#8217;re freezing? Who&#8217;s going to snuggle with me during movies? And who&#8217;s going to make me laugh when I&#8217;m upset?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The suitcase slowly lowered toward the floor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;Well&#8230;&#8221; Tom admitted. &#8220;Those are important responsibilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">His wife grinned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;Also, where exactly do you plan on going at eleven o&#8217;clock at night wearing my slippers?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Tom looked down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Sure enough, in the middle of his dramatic exit, he had accidentally slipped on his wife&#8217;s bright pink fuzzy slippers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A couple of neighbors had already noticed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Defeated, he picked up the suitcase and carried it back upstairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;Maybe we should sit down and talk this through like adults,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">His wife laughed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;Excellent idea. And while you&#8217;re being mature, could you put the suitcase back where it belongs?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson learned:<\/strong> In marriage, you might win arguments, lose arguments, or threaten to leave\u2014but if you&#8217;re standing on the front porch wearing pink fuzzy slippers, you&#8217;ve already surrendered. &#x1f604;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>A husband walked into the bedroom and found his wife packing a suitcase. &#8220;Where are you headed?&#8221; he asked.
