Why do you guys live like that?

Serious question...

Live like what? Please clarify....

EDITED: sorry, wrong thread!

 

[lowatter]

Suck it up and give your wife a big hug and a kiss and tell her you love her. Life is short and is full of hard work, disappointments and strife. I try to not drive my lovely wife crazy and dump more stuff on us that we are already bearing. I'm blessed that we found each other and that we endured this crazy life for over 21 years. She puts up with my crap and I with hers. I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

[P Thought]

Too late, I'm twitterpated!

Reading your OP (I am a connoisseur of fine whines), I was wondering whether you're bragging or complaining.

 

[Tenderfoot]

Hope the misses doesn't read your post But if she does, just tell her you were bragging and not complaining (suggestion based on P Thought comment).

 

[P Thought]

BTW....remember me saying I'd met an attractive lady at my last gig?
Well, I called her....got her voice mail.....and four days later I still haven't heard from her.
Did I just get my first "ghosted"???????

Same's TD, I can't tell whether you're bragging or complaining, either!

 

[P Thought]

Do the words "not now" not exist in your vocabulary?

That is best handled as a "tacit understanding".

 

[P Thought]

This topic is one that either has no wrong answers, or it has nothing but wrong answers. I can't figure which. Great thread, TD, and hatsoff to you and the missus. I love this place.

My sweetie is my sweetie. Whatever she wants, I'm really only too happy to do my best to make happen entirely to her satisfaction!

Well, technically, that is and answer, maybe not the one you were looking for, but I think it was a good answer as far as answers go.

Well the other granpa would turn off his hearing aids during the fresher instructions on what was expected of him , eventually german grandama caught on whooops, he was sooo busted, she ignored the hint.

I'm sorry you married the wrong person, but Mr. Toto did not mean this to be a depressing thread. He's making compromises because he likes being married. That doesn't mean he is 100% happy about all the compromises, but looking at the sum total of all the experience, it's worth it. Life is not all Telecasters and Twin Reverbs, though those are cool too.

I know about some of the draw backs of breathing the fresh air of life, a little bit. And it's all part of living to make a mistake and take corrective action, to put thing aright. It's still a tender topic , having loved and lost.

Well, what did Jung say?

Jung said he ,Sigmund is a good chap, Theda is a lot of fun, but she doesn't like Sigmund kink.

Hmmmm?

 

[Tonetele]

Happy wife
Happy Life.
Keep up the good work TD.
Methinks she's workin' those pounds off you that you're worried about.
Mrs. TD obviously cares about you.

Keeps getting longer! I don't know exactly how this came about, but every time I think I'm going to do a little automotive work, and put a rearend in my recliner, here she comes. ALL week she's had me doing chores, if I'm not doing chores, I'm taking her shopping (she never stops) and hauling things home. I'm not sure what she does with it, looks like we'd just run out of room after a while.

For Pete's sake, I'm an old man, I supposed to be sitting out on the porch waving at the neighbors as they go buy, and whittling. She did something to the lawn, and told me not to mow it on Monday, my regular day. I couldn't mow it Monday anyway, she had me cleaning the carpet! Today, she suddenly says, "you didn't mow the lawn, get off your lazy behind and get on out there a mow, and don't forget to edge it!" I had planned on going to Dick's Sporting goods today, but I'm plumb tuckered out from honey dos.

Wednesday was her golfing day, she said just because you've been doing stuff around here, don't think you're going to weasel out on taking me golfing! We went golfing, when we got home, I vacuumed, and put the furniture back in place, then she says, don't you be heading for that recliner, the dog's need walking!

Bless you, mate, but I could not put up with that. No way.

 

[Flyboy]

the ideal is if I have a day off and my wife is off with her friends. the dog and I just recline and enjoy the quiet. usually no tv, no music, nuttin just quiet.

No dog but recently separate. The TV stays off.

Sounds like it's too late to right that ship. Now you know why men don't live as long as women.

Thank god my wife is just as lazy as I am.
We both worked hard all of our lives....it's time to relax some.

 

[Martian]

I don’t mind a list. In fact I need one. If left to my own devices nothing will get done. But this? This is…Just. Not. Right.
Knowing absolutely nothing about your situation, my guess is that there’s something about you which she envies and which she therefore finds annoying. And for that you will pay. It’s the only explanation that makes sense, damnit!
Ps, if she gifts you with an apron for Christmas, game over.

 

[Martian]

I wouldn't have wanted to have missed a single day in my wife's and my continuing days of our lives' episodes. If I wasn't doing this, no telling what kind of trouble I might be getting in.

Exactly!

My sweetie is my sweetie. Whatever she wants, I'm really only too happy to do my best to make happen entirely to her satisfaction!

TD, did she just make you say that? Is she there now?? Making you repeat that mantra, again and again?! If you can’t talk just blink, once for yes, twice for no.
We’re here for you! I mean not all of us, obviously. But some of us. Some of them. (Personally I’d love to help but I’ve got a list in front of me that you just wouldn’t believe.)
