Chris Andrews: Your "ice-cube" response was good and proper.
I do understand BF both watching and sharing the video.
I like your single, emoji, "ice-cube" response.
What puzzles me is that BF didn't either: (1) Let the "ice-cube" simply melt or (2) Share opinions about how good the music was. He should NOT have attacked you verbally and personally. BF should not have done that.
You riled over the name-calling. OF COURSE. It was WRONG to call you names. He really should NOT have done THAT.
Yes, you were annoyed about perceived rubbing in of the pretty singer, and that is reasonable and natural.
BF looking at videos of pretty singers is, of course, well within the mainstream.
Sharing it was ok.
But becoming hostile after the ice-cube was not.
I think I would have got the message with the ice-cube and would have done something tactful to break the ice.
Not to call the loved-girlfriend names over it. You LOVE the girlfriend. The singer is an attractive lady, but you LOVE the girlfriend.
That a girlfriend has a temper over insults is quite as it should be. The name calling is an uncalled-for provocation. I am truly sorry that occurred, and your reaction seems reasonable, because I admire a woman who is inwardly strong and has her inward dignity.
He should, too.
Now, Armando is very thankful for his family doghouse, because if it were not for the doghouse, about two of every three nights Armando would have no house at all. After 53-years, Armando is still basically a housetrained puppy, who knows when to slink into his comfortable doghouse.
From your columns, I think you are one with a tremendous sense of humor, and I don't think you are a handful, except in the best of ways for BF.
Usually a man's attraction to women in general is a powerful hormonal motivator for his own deep attraction to the woman he loves. The woman I LOVE, the woman I CHERISH. The woman I love to caress, to kiss.
When BF acquires more wisdom through the relationship, I would think he would realize that the "ice-cube" is only an "ice-cube" and nothing more and turn his attention to you, which is his primary motivator. Really, the ONLY MOTIVATOR!
A real BF wants to ensure he never hurts the feelings of the woman he loves.
And these, in contrast to my joking response, in my FIRST COMMENT days ago, are truths.
I have been 53-years exclusively with Nancy, the woman I love, and I have screen crushes, beautiful singers and the like that bring me cheer, but there is no attraction at all close to the one I feel with her breath or my soft touch of her. The crushes on stars keep the hormones alive to powerfully motivate my attraction to my wife.
Men are highly imperfect, and there are very good reasons for "Men on Pause". Many are NOT the way I describe or would like.
A man who is not with screen-crushes may just have low hormones, I don't know. But that is a fault of men, and I acknowledge that is MY OWN personal fault. And it hasn't diminished. My powerful and sole REAL attraction is to my own Light-and-Love.
This is funny
Whew!!!
Chris Andrews: No man who is in love with his woman EVER, NOT EVER has eyes for another attractive woman. Not even in song or video.
Now, for some more lies . . .
I am still chuckling at this.

I love your comments Armand. Will get back to you tomorrow with more thoughts.
Ha ha ha!
