Men,
If you want to maintain a healthy marital relationship, do not regale your beloved over lunch about the good times you had before you were married.
Specifically don’t talk about liberty in Okinawa, the red light district outside Kadena and bar girls. More specifically don’t say anything like the following: Boy, I could have married that girl - mmm hmm.
Because that would be what is referred to as a mistake.

Uhhhhh, do I take it you did exactly that?
Bad Brian, bad. That’s gonna cost you some overpriced colorless rocks, baubles, beads and perishable pretty plants and at least two nights on the couch for penance…..
OTOH…maybe you listened once too many times to “50 ways to leave your lover” and figured that was a way to start. But remember on the left coast its 50/50. “She gets the house, you get the mortgage. She gets the car, you get the car loan. She gets the kids, you get the support payments.” And thats just to start. (as my wife tells me :^(
Maybe a tour on a foreign adventure for a couple of months will help certain parties forget the indiscriminate talk………..

Brian, as a Marine I would have thought you’d learned the first rule of holes. When your in one (that realization should have hit when finishing the Okinawa story), stop digging.
I have a Miss Kim lilac bush in my yard that Real Wife planted after I recounted a story many years ago of a visit to Itaewon while on a business trip in Seoul (nothing bad happened, but what may seem innocent to us guys is, at the very least, fodder for the missus for a long time … a very long time).
I bring this up because the lilacs are blooming, again. And again I am reminded of the first rule of holes…
