Vido1: Reminds me of another story, which is true (as life still writes the best stories):
After 15 years of marriage a couple decided to get divorced. So the judge asked the man why he wants a deivorce. The man answered:
"We've been married for 15 years, and all what she was able to cook is Schnitzel and mash-potatoes. I cannot bear it anymore."
And the wife answered: "When we first met, I asked him what his favourite food is and he answered 'Schnitzel and mash-potatoes'. So that's why I cooked it for him every day!"
As I said, the story has really happened and shows actually very clearly the main course of most divorces: People - speak to each other! Comunicate and find out what your partner really wants - don't jump conclusions!
When I first married Elizabeth,,,she made a chocolate cake called a"nothing cake". I hated it. I didn't even like chocolate at that time.
But being newly wed, I wanted to make her feel good, and complimented her on her culinary skills. I didn't want to hurt her feelings,
For the next 12 or 13 years, she made that awful cake, til one day. I finally told her how much I disliked that cake. Of course, she never made it again.
Bottom line...communicate honestly. Of course we were divorced a few years later. But she taught me something...say what's on your mind and don't beat around the bush.
So for all you people who think I am too brash....blame Elizabeth
