Hello Pot This Is Kettle

[Nicolette]

I just said to my darling husband "well, I guess you are lucky I love you", after discussing one of the symptoms of PTSD with him saying "that is PTSD" (in other words that is just the way it typically is in relation to one of the not so positive symptoms). His response was "hello pot this is kettle"....



The phrase "The pot calling the kettle black" is an idiom used to accuse a person of being guilty of the very thing they are pointing out. This may or may not be hypocritical or a contradiction.

So, I am trying to figure out are we both lucky or do we both love each other or are we just contradicting each other?

You are both lucky, you both love each other, and I think you're agreeing.

I don't know Nicolette, sounds like that "secret" man language that husbands learn when they don't want to say something that will get them in an argument with their wives! You know, like they know what they are saying (and with my hubby it's usually "you stupid girl") but you have problems figuring out if it is a compliment or criticism!!

I just say "yeah honey, know what you mean", laugh, and try to change the subject. I personally have such a hard time trying to decipher his "man code". I'm still in the process of developing my defensive "woman code". It's hard to find good come-backs!!

But you know, Anthony does seem a lot more complicated than my primate hubby.

Personally I think you two pick fights with each other just for the make-up sex!

Iron Angel hit it on the head.

Ditto to what Anthony said re Iron Angel ... we do love each other and just muck around. ;)

Hope you and Anthony didn't take my post as anything other than my poor attempt at humor!!!

The hubby and I also love each other deeply (otherwise we wouldn't still be together after 24 years of disfunction!) and often tease each other. I think humor, and a good sense of one, helps any relationship to stay together. Hell, it's been the only thing that has kept me going over the last few years! I guess I enjoy hearing about other couples that use humor in their relationship and try to relate. Sorry if I said something different...
