It is really really disappointing, you could search much better things I’m sure! Could not believe it when I saw it! I did think, what the fuck have I been looking at! Ha ha
I drank two bottles of red wine in quick succession, threw up on the floor withing feet of the loo (I did try, honest) and put two framed wedding photos in the bin. Not only the dog house but the start of our divorce!
My cure for being in the doghouse is total and utter indifference. Play the fuckers at their own game. They are, after all, exercising targeted indifference your way.
It is classicc passive aggressive behaviour and something us Brits excel at as we do our best to avoid direct confrontation. When I get the “nothing” answer or “it doesnt matter” I know it is time to put the tin hat on. Fortunately Mrs SOG 2 doesnt go in for that stuff much. She is very laid back and takes most things in her stride. When I do piss her off I know about it pretty quickly! And to be fair to her, I am usualyy the one who plays the “nothing” and “it doesnt matter” card, for which I am much too old for and really ought to grow up!
My mother-in-law missed her deceased husband so much that she was unable to sleep in the marital bedroom following his death; instead, she turned it into a sort of shrine by lovingly laying out their favourite photos, keepsakes and mementos on the dressing table. Due to lack of space, however, Mrs S and I got to sleep in this bedroom whenever we visited.
Anyway, early one New Year’s Day, following several too many drinks at the local pub, Mrs S was horrified to wake up and find me pissing over the aforementioned dressing table.
Believe me, in comparison to where I was forced to spend the next several weeks, a doghouse would have been luxury.
I work on the basis that the doghouse is my permanent residence and that any improvement in surroundings should be treated as a welcome bonus. Saves a lot of disappointment and confusion.
