A husband caring about his wife only happens in ideal marriage? What the @#%^ are you talking about? My marriage is not perfect. Does it have to be perfect for 2 people to actually like eachother's company and touch? Sounds like things are getting blown out of proportion. This is a discussion about a husband coming up to and rubbing/holding a wife's pregnant stomach without asking 'hey, honey do you mind if i touch your stomach?' Just doing it. I guess I take for granted common sense where you wouldn't do such a thing if the wife was just finished tearing you a new @#%^ for not taking the garbage out or something.
If your point is that I'm being a douchebag toward Belkira, then OK I'm comfortable with that.

Your original quote, in response to a response to my sharing the hormonally enhanced unpredictability of my wife's response to anything makes some monumental leaps that have grown in the course of the discussion. You have also made some assertions that, while they may be perfectly acceptable in your home, are obviously not the experience of several other contributors to the discussion. Coupled with the exasperation you have expressed when contradicted and the general attitude that if we aren't like you we need help you have presented yourself as a complete douche bag. If you don't want things blown out of proportion, perhaps you should adjust where you're setting the proportion.
