I met my wife Ade in 1969, we started dating and when we got serious I made her a promise…..
I said to her, “I will never hold onto an argument longer than I can hold onto a f*rt”!!
Many times over the years we have put that statement to the test. When one or the other of us gets a bit tetchy over something and we seem to reach that impasse, I (or she) will say….”F*rt time?”….we have a little chuckle, realise that molehills are far more prolific than mountains…….. and we get on with life!
I won’t say humour has saved our relationship but, it has saved us from many uncomfortable silences.
Cheers……..Rob
