    For those of you comparing your wife to your MIL, what exactly are you comparing?

    One time my wife was in the hall at Church talking to some other RS sister. I walked by and pinched my wife's butt. She was mad at me for that. Hey, a brother's gotta cop a feel sometime!

      I didn't realize so many women hate their mother.

        For me, it generally has something to do with their need to tell you what to do in every situation. As if the sun will not come up in the morning if they don't issue the command. FWIW, my wife is pretty good in this respect, but there have been a couple times when the situation presented itself that I couldn't resist.

          I once compared my wife to MY mother (but in a complementary way). That was a bad idea.
          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

            My wife would welcome the comparison to my mom. I rarely, if ever, have have made the comparison.

              "Are you really going to wear that?"

              This is one of those expressions that wives say all the time to husbands but don't you dare say it to a woman.

              Thank goodness I have a comfy couch downstairs.

                ah, ok...so it isn't something like, "your mom has nicer legs than you" or a similarly suicidal comment. It is more like a "you sound like your mom right now!" type of comment.

                My MIL is very low key in our marriage, so I have never thought to compare her to my wife. I can see how it would be tempting for some, though.

                My younger SIL lives in PG. She goes back to her house at least 4 or 5 times a week, also every Sunday for dinner, etc. That would drive me nuts.

                    Hell no.

                    Bingo. Personality comparison.

                    Most definitely NOT a physical comparison. Coincidentally, my wife would probably be okay with that, as my MIL looks good for her age.

                          I appreciate these warnings.

                          My wife keeps telling me that I can never let her be "dumb" like her mom.

                          I know now never to point it out when she is.

                            I have said that one before as well. We really need to write a CUF users guide for married men.

                              "What's that smell? When was the last time you took a shower?"

                              Served a few weeks on the couch for that infraction.

                                I've never spent a night on the couch.

                                Does that mean I'm a good husband or my wife is extremely patient?
