I surmise that Welsummerchick is a mental health professional, of some sort...Phsychiatrist, psycologist, something....She has probably spent her married life, trying to fix her husband, when he's not really broken...He just doesn't operate, the way that she thinks he should.

I learned, a long time ago, that you can't fix people.

Well we certainly can not fix people, particuarly stupid ones LOL!

sorry, I have to side with the OP, some guys are just lacking common sense!

Case in point. I have mastiffs, some times I fostered them, and this one male (mastiff mix) and my female (Cane Corso) didn't like eachother and would fight if they could get together. SO my DH, knowing this fact... and in all his wisdom didn't pay attention to who was out and the dogs got into a fight.

We're talking dogs twice the size of pitts, with the same drive. Now anyone with common sence, and since my DH doesn't have any, I've had to tell him to NEVER get into the middle of a dog fight EVER.. so DH grabs the male around his neck........ and gets nailed so hard that his ulnar nerve and artery get completly severed! Has to have major surgery and PT to repair. He almost lost complete use of his hand.

He's ok now........ so fast forward a year to this last weekend. Same male dog (doesn't like males or other dominant dogs)... he purposly let this stray beagle(intact male) out with our male.. the Male is posturing over the beagle (I knew what he was doing).... I saw what was happening and said "w t _ are you DOING" to my DH!!! SO what is the FIRST thing DH does.. starts to grab the male by the neck......... I had to tell him to stop and step away. I looped the leash over the male and pulled him straight up away from the beagle. The dog wouldn't have attacked my DH, but he would have gone after the beagle because of the way my DH handles situations. He's not only, not dog savy at all.. but sometimes he just seem so dense and oblivious to things and severly lacking in common sense.

I don't nag my DH about anything. Except his driving and I have every reason to be a white knuckle rider considering how many vehicles he's totalled (using that same skill he has with dogs).

My threat is "You do realise that the small kids are watching and do you want 9 y/o and 7 y/o DS to learn to do such stupid behavior" Usually in slightly polite tones without calling him outright stupid.

While it may not seem stupid to DH, no matter how many warnings or safety instructions provided - if I suggest that 9 y/o and 7 y/o will see such behavior and repeat such behavior, it's now a stupid behavior and he will not do as such.

However, no matter how stupid DH may be at times, he has not gotten hurt yet. I on the other hand did some pretty impressive damage to my finger with an exacto blade. Dull blades are not our friends and do cut people very well, even if they don't cut the poster board you want it to cut.

Royd &etc you have absolutely no business making such declarations about people that you have never even laid eyes on and know nothing about - you're insulting me and saying I do all this stuff and YOU NEVER EVEN MET ME - YOU NEVER EVEN PM'D ME - YOU DO NOT KNOW ME.

You are making all these declarations and you have NO BUSINESS DOING THAT. YOU DON'T KNOW US AND YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS JUDGING ME AND MY SO.

MY SO NEEDS NO FIXING AND I AM NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF FIXING HIM AND NEVER HAVE BEEN - HE HAS A MEDICAL PROBLEM AND WE HAVE JUST FOUND HIS MEDICATION WAS NOT AT THE RIGHT DOSE.

These issues are due to incorrect dosing of his medication which we have just found out. We BOTH noticed issues with fatigue and loss of alertness, we BOTH work things together, we are a team for 40 years and that ain't goin' nowhere. So stop strutting around acting like a big man judging and making declarations about PEOPLE YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW.
