Things your wife (or spouse) does that make you shake your head

Hey,,, watch what you say about my DeLand High School brother Terrance Trent Darby. He and his little bro were good friends of mine back in those days. Terrance was a boxer too btw. LOL

I'm almost positive that the very last vinyl record I ever purchased was his. The one with the song Wishing Well on it. There were several others on that album that I really liked too. Terrance went on to have way more success in Europe than he did here in the States after that album.

I'm not gonna lie,,, I still like his stuff. I should post a few of his songs in the Song of the Day Thread in fact. Becky is clearly the better judge of artistic talent from what I'm seeing here. Hahahaha

I just read this to Becky. She has this strange sense of vindication.

There are only a couple of things she does that I would say really make me shake my head (or grind my teeth, depending on the situation).

Like a couple of others here, she sometimes seems oblivious to the fact that I might be trying to watch a game/movie, whatever, and continues to try and start a conversation or show me the amazing things she has found on Pinterest. Lately I've started pressing the pause button on the remote when she does this and it seems to help lol.

I also think she believes the time for an activity, like church at 10:00, a movie at 7:30, or meeting with friends at 8:00 for example, is really the time we are supposed to leave the house to go to that activity. This little habit wears on my OCD like a belt sander.

Two things:
1- every damn diet in the world, refuses to work the phuck out then I get the can you tell I'm losing weight bs.
2- we have the same conversation multiple times, my opinion never changes but we still have the same damn convos

Why wife is amazingly smart, hot, and just plain cool chick - married for about 20 years (she was 18 at the time)

But what drives me crazy is that she has absolutely zero subtext, where as I am all about subtext
So beside never having a deep conversation about stuff, I never get satisfaction in an argument

Like if we get into an argument she will never fall for a guilt trip and if I threaten something like "FINE, I'm just going to leave" she will simply say "Okay"

But that's not how it's suppose to work, she's suppose to beg me to stay!!!!!!!

Mine is borderline OCD with cleaning and putting things away. It's fantastic that our place and vehicles are crystal ball clean all the time, but there actually are some drawbacks.

If I leave something like my keys or phone on the counter because I'm about to head out somewhere, but make a quick pitstop in the bathroom before leaving... by the time I'm finished taking a pee pee my crap will be gone. It's maddening. crap will be put away somewhere within seconds. I have a small wooden box out in the garage where I keep things that she is not allowed to touch or move... I had to have a "safe haven" somewhere in the house.

She vacuums the carpeted areas of our place multiple times per day. To get her back for constantly putting my crap away so fast... I always make footprints through her vacuum lines on the carpet as soon as she leaves the room. I literally dance around on the carpet laughing when I'm doing this... and many times I don't even wait for her to leave the room when I do this. LOL

I am SO happy to read this. Our house is all tile - mops it EVERY OTHER DAY. I do like the clean house though, and I have a bit of OCD myself - (if you ain't anal, you ain't an architect:shades,
but what drives me absolutely BATSHIT, is she never puts things away in the same place twice, but anymore I just laugh, (also, two can play that game)
Scatterbrained clean-freak - 27 years now, and wouldn't have it any other way.

what I think is awesome about this thread

a) we could share our "grievances" with our brothers here

b) nearly every person that has listed a "complaint" has been married for over 20+ years


kudos to all !!!!

Do you realize what you just posted? I'm not sure your wife would want a picture posted with that <cough> item in plain view

Back on topic, we have a cleaning lady come to our house every other Wednesday.
Tuesday night is like chaos. My wife has to clean the entire damn house because "the cleaning lady is coming!!!!"

What item would you be referring to? I don't see anything there that is questionable

I understand. I always ask my wife what it is exactly that we pay our cleaning lady to clean. Talk about a cake job... there is no way possible to tell if any cleaning was done other than the sheets have been changed. I get charged for 4 hours of cleaning though.

While Chrissy was in the hospital last year for 6 weeks,had a cleaning lady come in and try to straighten up the house . Spent 3hours trying to answer " where do these books belong" and "where do these go?".

Finally just told her," put it all in the spare room and close the door"

Had to promise wifey I would never hire somebody to try and clean the house because she doesn't like strangers touching her things.'...which was completely different from our first date

 

[CGI_Ram]

We usually ask the housekeeper to do the basics; floors, bathrooms, kitchen.

Leave the picking up to us.

My first wife had her do laundry. I didn't care for that. First wife was really lazy.

I'm just gonna go ahead and tell you guys a yin and yang benefit of my wife's obsession to keep everything clean.

Basically every morning,,, my wife crawls around on her hands and knees in our kitchen and mops the floor by hand.

Nude.
