rule number one, the wife is always right, rule number two, when the wife is wrong refer to rule number one… of course in my house it’s mom we follow those rules on. :}
It’s not necessarily the key to a happy marriage but can definitely lead to a peaceful coexistence in a marriage. Sometimes, you take what you can get. However, there are some battles in a marriage that have to be fought, and that will happen in the future in their case….
When our son married, my hubby advised him that he only needed to know 4 words for a happy marriage: " Yes, dear, you’re right". Worked for 38 yrs with us.
Brutus should be happy there’s only one woman in his household (ok one woman and a female thing). With 3 daughters and 2 granddaughters to go along with a wife of 42 years I keep quiet (hard for a lawyer). We even have 2 female dogs!

Rule 1: the woman is always right. Rule 2: if she isn’t right, rule 1 applies.

I wonder what it feel like to be right?

I am always right. I am also not married. That is alright with me since I have no Ma Gargoyles invading my home every couple of weeks.

Kind of ironic that yesterday Gladys was calling Brutus fat, and here today Gladys looks like she has put on an extra 250 pounds over Brutus.

So let the sun shine in, face it with a grin.

Gladys you’re getting like that Old battle axe of a mother. Better tone down ! Maybe if you get a job you won’t have the energy to fuss?

They’re not arguing, she’s just explaining why she’s right and he’s wrong

Brutus has a: job, not so good; wife, meany; mother-in-law, likewise; son, fantastic. The son trumps all.

Some men do the Gladys routine. All that is missing here is the finger my ex liked to shove in my face. Thus, ex.

Has Gladys taken lessons from Vebblefester or vice versa???

If, during the course of an argument with your wife, you get an inkling you may be in the right, apologize immediately.

Brutus, you can’t reason with an unreasonable person, which appears to be the lesson you just learned.

Hang in there Brutus, between the Wife, the Mother-In-Law, and the Boss, don’t be tempted to take that Train to Willoughby.

I don’t when I’ve ever seen her that angry. Wonder what he did — aside from arguing with her, that is.

Brutus’s remark in Panel 3 sounds like it comes from a man who speaks from experience.
