My wife and I had a terrific fight the other night. She's always reading articles and watching television panels. One week it's how you can guarantee that your baby will be a boy (or a girl). The next time it's how to avoid dying in your sleep by positive • - dreaming. ' As you can imagine, some of these topics don't really send me, and she gets quite annoyea wnen 1 aon t wax sufficiently enthusiastic. I try to participate in the monologue by reading her one of my favorite articles, something like, "Is The Real John Turner Just a Shy, Humble Little Boy Underneath It All?" She just retorts, "Who cares?'? and goes relentlessly back to her own article, which this week was about battered wives. The article was entitled "Couples That Batter Each Other Matter to Each Other, or something equally ridiculous. Its gist was that married people who fight, even physically, are far happier than those who hold in their resentments and become psychologically warped as a result. For once I made a stand. I told her, in words to that effect, that that was a lot,of women's magazine, soap opera crap. I went on to cite some of our triends who used to batter each other regularly, and are now happily divorced from each other and remarried to non-batterers. For some reason this irked her. I don't know whether it was the male chauvinistic crack or the fact that some of her friends are happier with a new mate, but she started a fight. Her article hadn't said anything about battered husbinds. I'll draw a veil over the next few minute, for those with tender sensibilities who have never been hit by a sneak punch from a woman when they weren't looking. Anyway, when I had picked myself off the floor, wiped the flood from my nose, and locked myS'elf safely in the bathroom, 1 ussued an ultimatum. "If you ever lay a finger on me again, I'm leaving. I'm going home to your father." Her reply: "Go ahead, you crumb! If you walk out of his house, you'll n ever get back in. It's in my name. So's the car. I'll clean out our joint account, garnishee your salary, hire a lawyer, and put you on Skid Row, where you belong." I needn't tell you here that she had recently read some shyster's article about how to go about doing just that to your husband. I was so mad that I was adamant for quite a while. If there'd been a phone in that bathroom, I'd have called the police for an escort and walked right out of there. But there wasn't. — I ignored her further taunts, all of them on a similarly low, despicable level,, and maintained a dignified silence. She calls it sulking. Fortunately, there was a good . paperback novel on the back of the toilet, and I was soon absorbed. She can't stand this. Bitter invective, coarse comments, even bad language rolls off her shoulders. But she nearly goes out of her skull when there's nobody listening to her. Finally, "Do you wa nt a cup of tea, you cowar dly bum?" I didn't make a sound for a full minute, then' grunted, "Maybe. What else?" I meant a full apology and an abject admission of her guilt in instigating the donnybrook. "And a piece of apple pie," she snapped. "With cheddar cheese." I gave up. How can you reason with someone like that? "Well, O.K.' But no more battering, baby, or I call the cops." After a while, we had cooled out a fair bit, and she got me an ice pack for my nose. I was willing to forget it, birt underneath I was still simmering, and I entertained thoughts' of cashing my two $100 bonds the next day, skipping off to the Canary Islands, and leaving her high and dry. But, like every woman I've ever met, she wanted to "talk things out." That's one of the most disgusting phrases• in the English language. Right, chaps? • It was finally decided that we'd each make a list of our worst faults, let the other have a look at the list, then"try to do something about it. I worked 'away assiduously for what seemed hours; my tongue stuck out of one corner ' of my mouth. My list went something like this: (a)too ready to forgive wife; should be firmer. b)too generous with my children; must be tighter c)too fond of grandchildren; must be sterner d)complain too much about arthritis; should complain more about hemmorhoids e)too ready to see good side of others; must be more realistic. Well, my list went on and on and on. I didn't realize what a truly rotten guy I wa§ until I started to put it down. My wife finished fairly quickly, and resumed her overt affair with her sewing machine (one of the things that are driving us apart.). Handed over my list. She started to read it with a benign smile.The smile began to curl down on the corners. Her face got red. "Why, you lously little cockroach!" she exploded. I didn't point out that she was being redundant. I'd like to tell you this little marital drama had a happy ending, that it wound up in a clinch. Well, it did wind up in a clinch. I had her arms so tied up that Muhammad Ali couldn't have thrown a punch in the same situation. So she kneed me you know where. When 1 had stopped grunting, and got to my knees, I picked up her list of fault1s, which she'd thrown in my face as I lay prostrate. I half expected that she'd write something like, "My only fault is that I don't appreciate what a wonderful husband I have." It was a little shorter than that. It just said, "None."
