Me and the Missus are at the National Theatre waiting to go in and see the Pitmen Painters, a play about a group of miners in the 1930s who took up painting, and she is discussing a debate on Radio 5 Live. 'The topic was wives who abuse and bully their husbands and many of the men who were phoning in were explaining how the mental cruelty and constant hectoring and belittling was often much harder to bear than the physical stuff. Many even said that the scars from the mental abuse took much longer to heal than any physical marks. Anyway it got me thinking that maybe I am mentally damaging you in the long-term.'
'It's quite possible...'
'I mean it's obviously not going to change a damn thing but I thought I should let you know that at least now I'm aware of it... There... I feel better for getting that off my chest.'
Business as usual then...
