Damn it we men sometimes just need to put our foot down, and realize it is our job to protect our families.
Its really nice to have a cooperative spousal unit. Makes things easier, but reaping the bitter harvest of conjugal infelicity is no excuse for a man failing to protect his family.
Note: The phrase "Reaped the bitter harvest of conjugal infelicity" was first made in reference to the relationship between Abe and Mary Todd Lincoln by Lincoln biographer William Herndon.
I came be the phrase in Dale Carnegie's How to win friends and influence people back in 1977.
The great tragedy of Lincoln's life also was his marriage. Not his assassination, mind you, but his marriage. When Booth fired, Lincoln never realized he had been shot; but he reaped almost daily, for twenty-three years, "the bitter harvest of conjugal infelicity." "Conjugal Infelicity?" That's putting in mildly. For almost a quarter of a century, Mrs. Lincoln nagged and harassed the life out of him.
