She got a fridge from her sister which had half the storage capacity (but twice as much freezer capacity to be fair). If I'd got a fridge which was only half the storage capacity of the old one I'd never have heard the end of it. Why is it that fridge capacity has so long been a flashpoint in so many marriages? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife falls into this category. I'm in this camp. I can, I just don't. Maybe a hangover from when the boys were still in buggies or prams and needed the space at the boot. Yet to see why reversing into a space is any better or worse than driving into a space and then reversing out.

I'm better at reversing in that driving in as well for some strange reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone are the days of handing your pay packet over and getting your pocket money I've got 3 accounts (I need them because I have a 5 figure income). One is the joint account where (funnily enough) the joint bills come out, the 2nd I opened so I could put all my personal bill money in and the 3rd is where my wages go in and whatever is left is my own. I opened my 'bill account' so I could have an account where I knew the money was safe. Too often I would forget a bill in my main account and be left short. We don't have a joint account that we can access as such. It's just an account where our shared bills come out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But reversing in is so much better for exiting, both for you and for anyone else driving down that lane of the car park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 On decorating. We've been here for 2 years now and the place still isn't fully decorated. We did the livingroom a few months back and although it was pretty pain free she still made the odd comment about how much of a mess I apparently make*. I told her if she kept commenting she would be doing it herself. Thankfully that shut her up. The other week I was doing some edging in another room and she came in and started her shite. I ignored it so long and finally had enough. Took all the stuff and put it in the sink. Told her I was done with the decorating; she can live with a half decorated house because I'm officially finished with it. So she can do it herself or pay someone to do it, and when I say she can pay, I mean her. Not a joint payment. I refuse to pay for something I can do myself. I'm actually still livid thinking about it now but I can't be fucked with her criticism. A few days after that she got the paint out and was out edging. Just the kitchen/dining room for her to do now [emoji3]* I'm not a professional, but I'll make as much "mess" as any normal person. As I've said before, she's definitely on the OCD spectrum so any slight thing she notices. Even if no one else does. Seething, heads gone, taken it well etc etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Seething, heads gone, taken it well etc etc I absolutely was. Though I'm now in 'pleasing' mode as she went and did it herself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s going to get ideas about what else she doesn’t need you for. What else she can do better herself.

Ross. Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 She wasn't feeling well last night. I barely got an hours kip as she spent the whole night moving about the bed, trying to find a comfortable position, pulling the covers around, pushing me out the way, all the usual shite. Got a message from her earlier saying how good she feels today and that she hopes I am having a good day in work. I'm walking about today feeling like a zombie struggling to keep my eyes open. Fucking c*nt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rtonfc Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I'm always in the hoose from work before my missus, she then gets in and after about 10 mins she goes "how was your day", I reply almost the same every single time "ayeee was alright, bit busy", she then waits for me to ask her the same question, if I don't she replies almost every single time "my day was fine, thanks for asking". Now this might be nice for some people that your other half asks how your day was but for me it's fucking annoying as most of the time she blabbers on for 10 mins about what happened in her stressful day. In other news, last night I was informed that Donna from her work (the woman she introduced me to last year who I have no idea who she is but nod as if I do) is preggers, WHO CARES WOMAN!

ScottR96 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 It's my birthday next week and she asked what I'd like. There's not anything I really need as I got a decent haul for Christmas. Asked for a subscription to Nutmeg Magazine and got told no as it'll be "too much clutter". This is absolute shite of course, but I went along with it. Then last night she warned I might not get anything if I don't give her some ideas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone are the days of handing your pay packet over and getting your pocket money We don't have a joint account, just our two sole accounts. I pay the rent, she pays the bills. Works out meaning we both pay about as much, proportional to what we both earn. The rest is spent as and how either of us sees fit. She has got me into the habit of saving a fair whack of my spare cash, which is a bonus. Not that I go short on anything else anyway. I should probably save a fair bit more than I already do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
