At marriage counseling the other day, the therapist asked the Sober Husband what it is he wants. He thought about it. "What I want is for Carole to always be a loving and supportive wife while I get to do whatever I want."
We had a good laugh about that, the therapist and I.

The Sober Husband has delusions. Heh.
Brilliant. At least he's honest. Delusional. But honest.
I would love to see your Medusa costume. And how old is too old for the snake in the cleavage thing?
Hey that's what I want from everybody I come in contact with. But then I hear the small Dr. Phil voice that lives in my head say "How's that workin' for ya". I hate that Dr. Phil voice.
All the good comments were taken by the time I logged in. Bummer.
Thank you. I had a good laugh, too. =)
Funny, I think that's what my dearly beloved wants too.
this made me feel great affection for both you and anton.
i want that too, of phil, and of you too, carole! (friend, not wife)
ummm did you and the therapist snicker and snort as well, 'cuz damn.
Poor Sober Husband. I laugh at that too.
Your response to him: "I want lots of great sex and LOTS of money...but we can't all have what we want, right?"
Now I know what I wanted to say. Here it is:
As my grandmother always says, "People in hell want ice water, but they aren't going to get it."
And the man lives to tell the story?!
hey I love your blog, but aren't you going to update your food blog?
please tell me this is a joke ☺ at least he was honest
well, naturally *you* want him to be a loving and supportive husband, while *you* get to do whatever you want, right?!
so, the trick is to find a balance between what you each want and need, yes?
dear Anonymous-cleavage-owner: there is no automatic sell-by date for cleavage. Did you see those pictures of sixty-something Helen Mirren in a red bikini taken recently? If your cleavage is up for it, disregard any concepts related to calendar age.
Dear Closet Case (I like your blog, by the way!), I promise I will update the food blog soon. I have an idea for a post there. It takes more work to write over there, and I am lazy. Over here if I feel like phoning it in, I can just re-tell some quick dialogue from my loved ones.
Dear everyone else, he was serious and honest. He also knows that's not how the world works.
