So do you have to "approve" everything he does? Doesn't he see how crazy this can become? What if you stop approving of the kind of underwear he prefers? Make him switch from boxers to briefs, or vice versa? You have some say, you have to wash them. Married life is like spaghetti, you can't pick out strands like this! I think I'm having a better reaction this time to a husband's pout - I'm not taking myself off to a nunnery!
