So the other day I was listening to one of the MPW podcasts and someone joked about the wife making the husband sleep on the couch and I was wondering, is that a real thing in some homes?
Because, when I was (still happily) married, (mid 80's to mid 90's) we got into a tiff (over something silly and soon and long ago forgotten) and my wife tried to pull that on me. I laughed and told her that she watched too much tv. I informed her that if she didn't want me to touch her that night, okay no problem, but I had paid for the bed and I was damn sure sleeping in the bed. If she wanted to go sleep on the couch, hey more power to her. Note: we both slept in the bed and everything was all great by the next evening.
I mean, who does that? Is that a real thing in some homes... where you the hubby will go sleep on the couch if your wife tells you to?
