1. Regular updates to will, including inventories and lists of all assets. (Just to remind him what he's risking!)
2. Have a pocket full of indemnity forms, saying,
"I, .............. confirm that I have been warned not to ............... and am ignoring that advice entirely at my own risk.
Signed.......
Witnessed........
3. Carry a small picture of a really handsome younger guy in an ornate silver frame and, when he's playing up, take out the picture, look wistfully at it, and say, "Yeah, you're right. Go for it!"
Haha, this marriage business is really tricky. We've been married four years and I'm the one who has to be reined in... sometimes I want to susulk and throw a tetemper tantrum but here's the thing. My husband has never questioned or given me pause when I've asked something sometimes outrageous of him. I like to say he's the voice of reason in our relationship. Somebody has to be, and I can promise it will never be me. Great share, I loved the ending.
I imagine every couple has this same debate every time something falls into the gap between their individual risk tolerances. :-D Ideally, the worrier reins in some behavior that might actually be a bad idea, and the free spirit encourages the worrier to have a couple of adventures, but sometimes we each stand on our own side of the divide, shaking our heads at the other's behavior. (I'm the worrier in my relationship!)
From another 30+ years married person, you can always suggest the sensible thing, but in the end, letting the other one be right, (or think they are,) is what keeps it interesting.
That's hilarious, and answers one of my ongoing questions. I found myself surrounded by a school of barracuda once, while swimming of the coast of Cuba. They looked scary, with their shark-like eyes and shimmering grey bodies. I didn't know for sure if they were dangerous, but I got out of there pretty quick!

Will take ALL of these suggestions.
Hmm, I'm not sure I like ALL of our subscribers...
😬
I was so worried that boat wasn't coming back.
😂😂
At the time, I was too!

Very fair! Yes, the combo is often a very good thing, isn't it? Keep each other excited and/or alive.
“You should see this thing’s teeth.”
“I want to. Where was it?” 😂
😂😂😂
Hey, I've got to be true to myself!
Three decades together! 💖
We got together when we were ten! LOL LOL
😏
I loved reading this. And I would have left that water immediately to never return, lol.
Exactly!
A perfectly valid choice!

Exactly! Very well put. You need some degree of compatibility but I can also be very complimentary.
Totally believe that.
I dove through a school of barracuda because they were between me and the wreck I wanted to see. Didn't tell the Hubster, though. He doesn't dive. 😅
We should dive together! LOL
My lips are sealed!
Sounds pretty fishy to me....
Haha shoulda used that one
...and here I thought you just left it there for us! 😁
I am 100% you in this scenario. I'd be losing my mind. And the title is great although I assume Michael was ok with it lol.
Haha thank you. 🙂
Let's just say there was a "discussion." 😂😂😂
Ha! You did it for the art, right Michael? You're a good artist 😂😂
Always for the art!
Loved this!
Thank you!
Love this!

In the end, there's always a story.
Haha yes ultimately we're all individuals (or should be) and it always does make an interesting story!
Pretty colorful life you have…. Charming
