From Him: Makeup sex

The sexy wife made that previous blog entry before the evening got worse. Fortunately for me, or there would have been a much more verbose oration on my failings as both a human being and a husband. The evening out with the guys stretched late into the night, and I was perhaps a little more terse in some of my responses to the sexy wife than I should have been. This left the impression that hanging out with the guys was of greater importance than spending a few minutes talking to my better half. To the point that the word "a**hole was used in reference to this poor blogger.

I like to think of the whole thing as a demonstration of how deep and solid is our relationship. While the next couple of days were not entirely pleasant ("Get your hands off me!"), we worked things through and the make-up sex was (as always) great. The sexy wife is a great believer in motivating her husband to work on resolving issues, and ensuring that EVERYTHING is worked through before moving on to the make-up sex provides for significant motivation.

You hear the phrase "lingering resentment" thrown around, and I really believe that if there is "lingering resentment" after you have made up from a fight, it is a bad sign (I'll have to consult blogger to see how to further emphasize bad.) So even though I was an a**hole, I don't think we have any lingering resentment. I think that is hugely important. We've both been married before, and certainly in my previous relationship "lingering resentment" was a constant fact of life, like a bad tattoo.

I'm sure if I'm wrong about there being no lingering resentment, I'll hear about it here if not elsewhere.

On a completely unrelated note, if you're into blogging its worth reading What Thomas Edison Can Teach You about Blogging. Some of the more interesting conclusions are that most blogs are abandoned after a month or two, and the average time that it takes a blog to rise to the top of the pile is around three years.
