Today, my godmother informed me that the rule of thumb my ex had used for our relationship during a year of cohabitation was taken directly from a Cesar Millan book on "How to train dogs." FML

"Rule of thumb" comes from an old British law that states a man cannot hit his wife with anything wider than his thumb.

Yeah, Wikipedia is TOTALLY inaccurate because "anyone can edit it". Yes, anyone can edit it, but unless it's backed up by a credible source, it won't be allowed by administrators. And, if it is, there is a note that says "This is not information from a credible source" ir "Citation needed". People who hate on Wikipedia for that reason are ignorant.

Humans ARE animals, and it's true that you can train them like dogs. That's how I got my nieces to learn how to clean up after themselves. It sounds degrading, but it works a charm. However, when it comes to dating, that should never be done. Maybe I just have a vivid imagination, but if I thought of training my boyfriend like a dog, I'd feel like I was into ********** for having sex with him every night.

LOL. I know people who do this... =_=

You gotta admit he did have you trained pretty good. Thanks to him you'll make someone a fine wife someday. ;D

A previous owner had severely abused my ex-wife, so really, she was beyond even Ceasar's techniques unfortunately. (I think her third therapist is about to give up on her.)

When my ex was bugging me or doing something i didn't like, i did that "shh" noise Cesar uses on the dogs, it worked most of the time actually...

Well, you know, there actually could be some helpful tidbits in there that you could apply to any situation, whether it be parenting or relationships. and yes i just said tidbits.

Cesar Millan knows his shit. I've used Cesar Millan's dog training skills on children. If you can't talk than you're just another dog in need of training to me. By the way the whole rule of thumb means that men were allowed to beat their wife with a stick no bigger than their thumb. If you've seen the Boondock Saints, you'd already know that and know where i'm going with this. To continue the joke. (Looking at thumb) You can't do much with that. Perhaps it should have been the rule of wrist.

so are you passive-submissive.... shhh
