Antonija  +  205491 Sun, 12 Mar 06 05:03 PM Hello! Which of the two is better? Thank you The woman should tilt her head or lean on her elbow and she should firstly announce that sex in the marriage is not good/is of no good.

	Antonija  +  205525 Sun, 12 Mar 06 06:25 PM Now, I would like to say a few words about nagging, the most powerful weapon of married women. You may not be able to blackmail your already fed up husband anymore by threatening to leave him, but if you repeat the problem ten or twenty times in a low, but persistent voice, you will sail into a grandiose conflict, similar to the big naval battle of the old masters in which you will, visually though, enjoy. There is no more beautiful picture than the one of/that shows  an upset phlegmatic, who every husband gradually turns into. It is particularly appropriate to nag about sex, eternal source of dissatisfaction. You should start nagging as later as you can, when both partners are obviously tired. The woman should tilt her head or lean on her elbow and she should right away announce that sex in the marriage is not good/is of no good. Antonija Marriage

	davkett  +  205614 Mon, 13 Mar 06 12:23 AM already-fed-up of not good/is of no good  (Neither one sounds right.)  Maybe "not so great". also, in which you will, visually though, enjoy is awkward. davkett

	Antonija  +  206438 Wed, 15 Mar 06 02:56 PM Thanks Davkett. ''visually though'' -meaning that you will not speak with your husband, because you will be pretending to be offended but you will be able to visually enjoy the scene (of seeing him, who is usually phlegmatic, upset). I hope it is clearer now  Antonija

	davkett  +  206739 Thu, 16 Mar 06 02:38 PM Then-- similar to the big naval battle of the old masters in which you will find enjoyment, though only / if only visually. or,  similar to the big naval battle of the old masters which you will enjoy, though only / if only visually. davkett

"as late as you can" = maybe better "...start nagging late at night, when ..."
