Yes, I love winter too. I can bear the coldness but can't bear the hot weather.

Haha, someone hates summer for another reason. Yesterday, my friend's husband lost his iphone 5 on the bus. My friend was very angry because she sent it to her husband as birthday gift. Do you know how she punished her husband? She asked him to kneel on the keyboard with his duck-down jacket for half an hour. He was sweaty just in 10 minutes. It's too hot to wear a duck-down jacket in summer.

It may be a joke, but she shouldn't do that to her husband because to me it is not wise. He may be careless, but with this kind of little things, it may grow to a bigger problem later. Would you do that dear BBQQ to the one you love?

Wan,

I would be definitely angry if he lost it. But I will alway keep in mind that every man is born to be chauvinist. If I asked him to kneel on the keyboard with duck-down jacket on his body. He would hate me. He should be regretful. All I need to do is comfort him and think about if there is a way to get it back. It's no use asking him why he lost it.

Neither I or my wife will do that. It seems like a child, if someone does mistake then he or she should be punished. We are living in a world of sharing that will bind the life possibly until one dies. The phone may cost RMB30000 or more, but I am sure it can be replaced but once a wife or a husband feels being belittled by her/his own spouse, it's not easy to erase from his/her mind.

You have good attitude dear BBQQ, your attitude and behaviour will make your married life more meaningful.

Haha, thanks for praising me, Wan. If you want to establish a good relationship with a man, you have to understand his characteristics, habits, shortcomings, advantages and everything about him.

I can't say that all men are chauvinists. But many Chinese men are. As a wife or girlfriend, you have to learn to save his face. At home, you can ask him to serve you like the servants at the restaurant. In public places, especially in front of his friends, you should make him feel proud. For example, you can get food on his plate.

Anyway, learn some secrets to establish better relationship with your boyfriend or husband. You will benefit from it.

Everyone has his or her own perception from his/her life observation. Thus when you said men are chauvinists, I never take offence as they are true from your eyes. Later you clarify that many Chinese men are. I have my own life experience.

Life is really a journey that you need many things such as plan, capital, and of course knowledge how to navigate. You can't have two captains for one boat or ship. Sometimes, like in a movie, the ship goes through rough seas and tidal waves but with good command, he may be able to steer to safety, and there are also smooth sails.

A good and experienced captain will always discuss things with his next of command in order to make a safe journey. To safe his face, you can't say a rough journey will be a smooth sail.

A captain and a sheep. This is a permissible metaphor. No matter how skilled the captain is, he also needs excellent crews. Without their help, he can not make a safe journey.

A man as a leader is associate with a shepherd to a flock of sheep as in the biblical stories. A shpherd is important as the sheep will follow the directives from the shepherd.
