I froze my daughter, my hands were so cold. She is funny. I put my hands on her neck while she was walking and she...just...stopped. With a shocked, cold look on her face. *smile*

2004 Stepford Wives is probably one of the funniest movies I've seen this year. Do NOT compare it to the 1970's movie. This is a satire, through and through. It really pokes fun at the stereotypes of men/women, husbands/wives. However, many a truth is spoken in jest and it does hit home on quite a few levels like "power-women" and "emasculated men." Can't we all just get along?

Here's my hubby/wife sitch...
Dearest B-,
My feelings were hurt this morning looking at your e-mail. You expected an e-mail from me at a certain time and then criticized me because I didn’t. It made it difficult for me to write anything inspirational this morning. You didn’t say anything about a timeframe.

When you stopped sending me 365 things about me you liked last year, I didn’t say a word. I didn’t want you to feel like a heel for not sending any. I understood that if I mentioned it to you, you would feel “under the gun” which would eventually lead to you feeling resentful.

I let you off the hook with that last night. I told you that with pointing out my physical attributes, you weren’t going to have much more to write. We joked about you having to start writing about my colon or uvula. Remember? I made the suggestion that you include “things” you would like and “things” you do like and you said that you wanted me to start writing to you too. Perfect. I thought we were in harmony.

Now I feel resentful. I feel like I take your feelings into account much more than you have of mine. I feel like it’s almost expected of me! It’s not fair that I’m to cater to you and you are allowed to be selfish when you want or don’t want. I’m feeling a little oppressed but not in a “loving” way.

So, I was trying to explain to a female "friend" (when it suits her she is a friend...she doesn't "have my back") how I've been feeling and she wasn't listening to a word! She even seemed...irritated. And then I realized...she has settled and she knows it. More important to her is that other people know it. She looks at what I consider problems as non-issues because it is a HELL of a lot better than what she has.
I DIDN'T settle. I won't settle. I know I have an awesome man but he sometimes wants me to settle while still holding me to a high-standard. [I'll be Got-damned if I'll be guilted into submission. You should want me to give that freely then you will get more than you could imagine.]
I figured I wear it for a few days. See how it feels. Am I in right in my way of thinking? Should I tone it down? Am I being unreasonable?
