Re: Women in frontline combat role
I think the only time my husband held a door open for me was when he was 17 and had first encountered 15 year old me. [[QUOTE]]Have you ever considered perhaps he was trying to shut out your constant moaning love, are you ever happy ?? cos you certainly never sound it, there must be something you like besides being miserable. Like I said man or woman I hold the door till they get there. My hubby and I shared the work what I could do I did, What he could he did and if it was heavy then we'd both do it.

I am NOT moaning just stating how I see things, just like everyone else. I am not particularly unhappy. My husband and I always did our own thing. We have absolutely nothing in common apart from our kids, sharing no interests whatsoever apart from a few TV programmes, and that is the way we like it. We have been married for 44 years this year, and are in it for the long haul. Sadly he is brain damaged since his devasting illness in 2006, and has to put up with me as his carer, a fate worse than death, but there you go! We have to make the best of it and fortunately we are lucky enough to have wonderful kids who make sure this daft old bat doesn't screw up to badly.

Re: Women in frontline combat role
I'm Ok with it but I just wonder about some of the practicalities. I'm thinking particularly of toilet arrangements. A man is quite happy to wee up against a hedge even if other men can see him, would a woman be happy with the same arrangement ?|
