Top 10 Mistakes in Using Your Husband

10	Talk about your desire for children	Performance anxiety does not a fertile husband make. Most husbands want to be consulted on the topic of kids, yes, but would rather not have sex become a timed chore.
9	Discuss previous partners	If he does not ask, do not tell. He really does not want the comparison.
8	Don't bother him at work	Husbands tend to have single track minds and they resent losing their train of thought to be asked to pick up some milk on the way home. If you simply must call for non emergency reasons - do it at lunch time.
7	Pick his friends	Your husband has friends from before the marriage, many of whom you detest. Some of your friends, your husband will detest. Leave his friends alone - they are his choice, not yours.
6	Constant togetherness	Go off by yourself and do things from time to time. Your husband presumably managed to look after himself before your marriage - he can stand the odd day or evening on his own, and will be happier for it. So will you.
5	Using non verbal communication	Remember, your ability to pick up non verbal cues about peoples behavior and feelings is both mystifying and slightly frightening to him. Do not expect him to have the same facility with this as you or your friends do, although husbands can be trained in this.
4	Babbling about feelings	Look - just don't. Men never like being forced to talk about that shit and get sad and resentful if they are forced. Be content with the twice a year, carefully scripted "I love you's".
3	Ask for forgiveness	Sleeping around is a poor method of dealing with a husband. Most husbands will be oblivious if you do, but never confess and ask for forgiveness. Just because you have never seen your husband in berserk mode, it does not mean he is incapable of it.
2	Nagging	OK, so he has not put the dishes away. Or the floor around his chair is a blizzard of newspapers. Do not nag. Ever. Men are stubborn beasts and respond poorly to nagging.
1	Trying to change him	You married him. Leave the poor sod alone! Your husband will rarely if ever point out the things you do that bug the shit out of him - return the courtesy. He will slowly change over time anyway.

Husband Maintainence

The importance of maintainance of your husband cannot be overstressed. Please remember our corporate motto: " A dog is for life. A husband is for alimony."

Husbands are creatures of habit. As long as they are fed, watered and serviced regularly, your unit should give you no trouble. Do not be alarmed if your husband spends much of his time motionless. This is normal behaviour.
