You seem to be assuming that I'm referring to "housework" exclusively (which I'm not). I realize it's different in each household and have no idea how you divvy-up duties in your house, but if you are the one who typically "takes the lead" on (not to be confused with "being solely responsible for") the housework,…

Wow, I really think you may be on to something. Despite the overly supportive upbringing, constant praise and validation I know my wife grew up with, she's always had a low(er) self-esteem. I know fear of rejection often comes with that. Our biggest challenge is despite the 3 separate times we've gone into…

I am very sorry to hear your childhood was like this. You did not deserve it, and although my wife's upbringing was almost exactly the polar opposite of yours (and to a fault), I really hope you were able to overcome the negative feelings and screwed up sense of self-worth which I have to assume would result from an…

What's funny is, I actually have to do this with my wife. She's a wonderful person, very talented and hard-working....until it comes to our home life where our "division of labor" is severely out of whack. She will sit on the couch, playing with the kids, goofing around on Facebook, or taking 35 minutes to make the…

2. Expecting Your Partner to Read Your Mind

Great deal....well...if you wanna' look like Cher, that is! ;)

Only because it frustrated me so much, I learned early on the trick of "everything having its place", in particular, my wallet, car keys, extra insurance cards, etc. and it's really paid off for me. My wife, however, is a disorganized mess in this regard, and for as frustrated as she gets about it, she doesn't seem…

Crap...I'm sorry to hear this. According to Sprint's 3G coverage map in my area, it's pretty well "saturated" showing good coverage. Out of curiosity, is this also the case for the areas which had horrible 3G coverage for you? Curious whether Sprint simply lies about it's coverage maps. And just to be clear, the…

Appreciate the info. I typically use Pandora—and it's "lower-fi" setting when I'm mobile, and the higher quality setting when I'm at home. I might just try Wal-Mart's 3G only pay-as-you-go solution and see how bad (or good) it ends up being both coverage and quality-wise. Because of how infrequently I use this car,…

Yep - my 2011 Ford Explorer has the same functionality you speak of. Haven't used it yet as—at the time—there were only 1-2 fully tested/support mi-fi USB modems out there, and a lot of "mixed reviews" on how well they worked. Hopefully this has improved since then. Enjoy the ST....love those cars!

Appreciate the info. Oddly enough, I am looking at this because I want to permanently install a mi-fi device and iPod Touch into one of my cars (I only drive it on weekend, so usage is low), and can't bring myself to tack on any more monthly charges to my existing VZW account, like say if I were to add a JetPack to…

Karma supports up to eight devices simultaneously. It rides Sprint's (technically Clear's) 4G WiMax network with 3G (Sprint) roaming, and offers coverage in over 80 cities in the United States. The boast speeds of around 3-6 Mbps down on average (bursting to 10 Mbps) and 1.5 Mbps up. You can check what their coverage…

Very well stated. Although it's clearly not the most important thing in a relationship, it is funny how sex is both a major contributing "factor" to a happy marriage and also a "barometer" of a the health of a marriage. At least in my experience—and especially when young kids are in the picture, the man and woman…

I wish! I knew I had reached "rock bottom" when I started to fantasize about having sex with my own wife. To reference that horrible old saying, "I've paid dearly for the cow; so where's my damn milk"? Yes, as least I still have my sense of humor :)

I haven't read the article yet, but as a couple of the other posters have commented, as long as both partners are "on the same page" with regard to their sexual satisfaction (no matter how much or how little is involved), I can see where it could become less important for some couples....as long as there is some kind…

Appreciate the advice. The specific use I was considering FreedomPop for does not require 4G/LTE speeds, so I'll definitely check out their 3G option. Thanks!

I love the concept of FreedomPop, but their coverage (last I looked anyway) was extremely sparse along the "right" coast—even in major metropolitan areas, which I find strange. Hope this improves one day, 'cause I'll definitely sign-up!

Wait a minute...you mean I can't comment purely on your title?? What the...? ;) All kidding aside, I do appreciate your comments, Dave. I fully admit that the title of your article is what hooked me—and you are spot-on that I did not give the article my full attention, before going off on what turned out to be a…

"Is it cold in here"? - Austin Powers

I can attest to the merits of a healthy diet and regular exercise and their positive impact on female sex drive. Sadly, my wife only stuck with the new routine for 2 weeks. And that was 2 years ago. It was a fun 2 weeks though :D
