GM: As one who occasionally gets accused of working all the time, I can
assure
you that that is not a standard my wife holds to. She wants me to spend time
with her, go to movies, take her to dinner and dances. Yes, she wants me to
work and bring home money, but that is far from all of it. And I think I can
feel relatively certain that many women, like men, marry a fantasy in their
mind and then reality intrudes.
PS: If a southern gentlemen cannot fulfill his wife's fantasies, the rest of
us are lost. (-:
