Thats ridiculous, something which I have not comprehended till now. Sadly inspite of all the open-mindedness we claim to have, most women undergo a huge huge change after marriage for better or for worse.Garden Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729091718644006365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-21865539096531955982007-07-13T13:17:00.000-04:002007-07-13T13:17:00.000-04:00very touching and rational... truly sad that many ...very touching and rational... truly sad that many don't understand these simple expectations...<BR/>thanks for sharing...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-78180718453197410822007-07-13T12:28:00.000-04:002007-07-13T12:28:00.000-04:00Just great...Got to send it to my hubby dear now i...Just great...Got to send it to my hubby dear now itself...Meena Shankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944369111378200863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-22693899791572438062007-07-13T10:02:00.000-04:002007-07-13T10:02:00.000-04:00WOW!!
