My husband, preoccupied with self

Wife: Sweetheart, the plumber didn't make it on time to fix the leak by the gas cooker cylinder today.
Husband: uh, uh-huh.
Wife: so because the gas cylinder leaks there was fire ignition and explosion as a result of Gold trying to lit the gas cooker.

Wife: the plumber finally came for the fixture on having knowlege of how worst the gas cooker's condition was he said that he was excited because he can now double his bill. And now he can also afford to go on vacation. I was upset with him.
Husband: aren't you listening? i said i am hungry! Get my food!
Wife: And Henry, i am leaving you. The plumber and i are traveling to maimi tomorrow morning.
Husband: This is one trouble around here, nobody ever listens to me. Can you please stop all this blabbering and get me something to eat and wine to quench my thirst?

Reasons why opposites Attract each other

Is there anything opposite than male and female? Yet they still attract each other after so many decades. In fact, the future of the race is dependent on such attraction. But unfortunately they fail to realize that their physical differences are only symbolic of the many other differences in their nature, the most significant of which are " temperaments ". Good to know, a negative is never attracted to another negative and positives repel each other in any field.

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.
