There was an article in the newspapers sometime back about a British husband who walked out on a 38-year marriage because he could not stand his wife obsessively moving the furniture.<\/p>\n
John Turner filed for divorce, complaining he was sick and tired of his wife Pauline shifting chairs, tables, the television — and anything not fixed to the walls — every single day of their married life. \u201cMoving furniture about was just something I did and I always will do,\u201d Pauline says. \u201cI suppose everybody has their little obsession.\u201d*<\/p>\n
I suppose that we might term that a little obsession — changing around the furniture every single day. I suspect that would bug your mate after a while.<\/p>\n
Some of you husbands are thinking, \u201cPoor man.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some of you wives are thinking, \u201cLazy husband.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s rare to read about someone who is addicted to change. Most people are quite resistant to change. Particularly in today\u2019s rapidly changing world. In fact, many of us find change rather scary.<\/p>\n
