an interesting correlation between a husband's happiness and a wife's misery.

Something I've noticed recently is an interesting correlation between a husband's happiness and a wife's misery.

You can call this the 'happiness scale' ( ya i know its not very original)

The more a husband is happy the more the wife seems to be miserable

and

The more a wife is happy the more the husband seems to be miserable

Its interesting, very funny, how that happens. So you see,over a long period of time, most wives compromising on their happiness so that their husband will be happy and 'fulfilled' , although they would never admit it.

the wife is holding the baby or sitting at home or at a job that doesnt meet her needs while the husband is on top of the world enjoying life and achieving his dreams...

Does it take some one else being miserable for you to be happy?
