The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That's what this woman suggests. Push all those impulses to have an opinion down! (A slight exaggeration.)

nytimes.com - Laura doyle surrendered wife

1poorlady would explode like she swallowed a grenade. IMO, men need to figure out how to pick their battles. Most stuff just isn't worth fighting about.

Doyle thinks this is the way to keep a marriage intact.

Laura Doyle, best-selling author of “The Surrendered Wife” and several other books that promise to teach women to save their marriages, no matter how oafish their husbands might seem, has a question for me, the journalist who has come to Southern California to interview her. “Are you bossy?” she asks me, softly, almost shyly. “Are you controlling?”

I flash back to my ex, who labeled me controlling for pushing him to quit smoking, go out more, eat what I wanted to eat and take his shoes off inside my apartment.

“Um,” I stammer. “Some people would probably say so.”
