Nope. This isn't one of Jakjak's smart quips. This was mine (not quite smart though), after being given the silent treatment. Like I said, fatherhood is not just about being a father to a child, but being a husband to a wife as well. A balance in this world is on an indent order.
Couples fight, disagree, debate, and come to an agreement. As far as I'm concerned, this is normal. In fact, if a couple has never once got into a disagreement of some sort, I'd start wondering if they at least talk to each other.
The key thing, is the last part. Agreement. We may have our separate view of things (which is good) and we may not always agree which color is best for underwear (again, this is good), but at the end of the day, it's sleeping peacefully at night and having clear expectations that matters (along with polka-dot boxers). So, yes, we do tend to disagree on things and we do get into petty quarels. We have our differences and we compare and we debate and we learn from each other. Instead of allowing indifference to keep us apart, we try to find ways of using it to pull us together instead. It gives us each our freedom and yet unifies us at the front.
I've given up my polka-dot boxers.
I now own Cookie Monster printed ones.
