Been trawling through threads which came and went while I was away, and lit on timmy's revival of this theme (which has now migrated to page 2). Struck me that neither there nor in the first instalment did anyone quote Ogden Nash's "Advice to Husbands":
To keep the marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it;
Whenever you're right, shut up.
Works a treat, believe me. Presumably applies to any partner, too.
Also lit on the Tim/timmy metamorphosis (caterpillar into butterfly? ) Sorry, timmy, been mis-naming you.

Shutting up when right never works.

I don't think of Ogden Nash, but of Franz Lehar:
What to think, what to say, what to do?
What a red-letter day if we knew.
Being male we may fail, but we try -
Yes we try, try, try, try, try!
Clutching hope we must go as we can,
But it's plainly too much for a man:
Though you sweat, though you slave
They forget what you gave,
And you're back where you first began!
Women, women, women, women Ah!

Not on major issues, agreed. But on minor ones which don't really matter.
