In my 7 years, 3 months, and 20 days of marriage, I've become aware of a strange phenomenon. Maybe you've picked up on this, too...
A boyfriend can do anything. Especially if its a new boyfriend. A new boyfriend can cook you dinner, fix your flat, paint your toenails, and recite Shakespeare. But as the relationship progresses and becomes more comfortable, men start to degenerate. They begin to lose their superhero powers. For example, a long-term boyfriend can suddenly no longer remember the name of "your song." Should you become engaged, a fiance can no longer retrieve his own beer. Once you're married, a newlywed husband suddenly loses his ability to operate a washer/dryer. And as the marriage goes into longevity, husbands seem to lose a whole slew of super powers, like seeing a pair of black socks in a drawer full of white ones, or remembering that groceries need to be placed in pantries and refrigerators rather than being left on counter tops. And cooking? Fuggedaboutit! That's far too complex a task for the common husband to tackle! After all, each of their limbs has limited mobility upon crossing the threshold of the front door.
