What man on his right mind would obey orders to sleep on the couch or leave?

On television, Youtube and commercials there is this meme of men sleeping on the couch or in the dog house. Then there's the "Odd Couple" where two men are told to "get out" by their wives and compliantly obey. Why would ANY man do this? Let the woman sleep on the couch or get out if she is not happy. It just seems so obvious. If a man obeys an order by his wife to "get out", he loses access to important paperwork as well as he is abandoning his children. Courts even see it this way. Yes, I know that the woman has the power to hit herself in the head with a skillet and accuse her husband of being a wife beater. Once a woman orders a man to "get out", it's important to understand this as a declaration of war and to gather evidence with that in mind.

It's a marriage, it takes compromise from both sides. Neither should be thinking about beatings or evidence. How about when there's a fight, and maybe even if someone ends up on the couch for the evening - the thoughts be of fixing and making up?

A declaration of war? Bad haircut boy in North Korea claims we have declared war on them. Both sound kinda nutty, IMO.

I must be weird. SEND ME to the couch! No chick flick, no snoring or farting, no eating in the bed something crunchy during the aforementioned chick flick to ensure I can't sleep through one agonizing minute.

MAKE me go downstairs and light a fire and fall asleep to some old, GOOD B&W film without the "Paul Harvey" on the movie. "SEE YOU IN THE MORNING DEAR! HUGS! (yelling cuz she's upstairs )

Yeah right. My wife has insomnia issues and will think nothing of turning on the Ipad and watch Netflix at 3am, just so she can turn the volume on and light up the room, because apparently it must help her sleep. Does wonders for my sleep too.

The couch, the recliner, the spare bedroom.... not always bad places!!

Here's mine: "You need to study for your license". I come home from work and devote and hour a day to studying for the test. She gets home around the same time, walks into the kitcchen, gets on her phone and gabs forever with her foghorn voice. But it's my fault I can't study.

And don't let it be the last two minutes of any game or movie I happen to be watching. Oh Hell NO. Daughter, granddaughters, used to be wife, AND my mom get right in line to make sure I miss it. If the doesn't work the cat will puke But interrupt "Jphnny Loves Janey Who is Dying of Cancer?" Unfeeling brute
