If you have been married for a couple of years, you have probably gotten the hang of it by now. And if you have not been married for long, here's your dictionary to help you in understanding your man better.

After being marrid for a couple of years, most women realise that understanding men is not that big a deal after all. There are two simple and basic rules that will help you sail through any conversation with your guy. The first rule is that men will do anything for sex. They'll promise you the stars in return for sex. And the second rule is that men have very fragile egos that you are supposed to take care of.

So here's a list of dialogues (and their meanings) that most married women have heard umpteen number of times...

"I need some time to hang out with my friends like before."
"Since I already married you, I don't see why I should be spending a romantic evening with you. My idea of fun is to down some beers with my friends"

"Of course you can choose any color for the bedroom walls honey!"
"It better not be any feminine color and you better take my approval before deciding."

"You look upset!"
"And now you are going to ruin my evening with an account of what happened."

"Yes, your new haircut looks great."
"What? I paid Rs. 1500 for a hairstyle that looks exactly like the old one?"

"I have such a lovely wife, why would I look at other women?"
"I'd rather stare the hell outa them!"

"I came home early today to spend the evening with you."
"India-Pak cricket match is on tonight and I wouldn't miss it for the world."

"I love this dress on you. Even the one you tried before looked great."
"Just hurry up and make up your damn mind!"

"I am no longer attracted to you like I used to be."
"I dunno what I saw in you in the first place."

"Hey hon! Do you need help with dinner?"
"Why isn't dinner ready yet?"

"Darling, you work too hard. Why dontcha rest for a while?"
"I can't hear the cricket commentator over all that noise you are making with the vaccum cleaner."

"I missed you during the day and got these flowers for you."
"The flower girl was so pretty, I just had to!"

"What did I do now?"
"What have you caught me doing?"

And the list goes on and on and on.....
