    Everyone brings happiness. Some by staying and some by leaving.

    Do husbands feel this too? If only they could have some peace or friends over without the wife around?

    Spouses need their space from each other. Hopefully, each partner can get that space without having to be intolerable to be around.

    To improve our sleep quality, my spouse and I sleep apart. We enjoy different movies and hobbies. But we share the grand kids and bills and have lots to talk about at mealtime.

    Is this going to be less and less of a thing? With no fault divorce the people who don’t want to be together would just divorce.

    A couple of times a year, I give my wife the gift of my absence for three weeks to a month in the Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains national parks.

    Too bad Earl couldn’t leave a fart machine hiding somewhere and then remotely activate it while her friends were there.
