Maintaining the house and constantly working out, buying cute outfits, and getting your hair/nails/etc. done in order to look like a hot trophy wife is actually quite time-consuming.

We’ve been together for 20 years for a reason!

We were at brunch today with friends and they asked us if we ever cooked together. We both looked at each other and started laughing - there is NO WAY. Even on the rare occasion I would cook something, he would always end up wandering into the kitchen and judging me for my knife skills, or how I was cutting the…

I’m pretty sure it’s because of all the sweating they do. And they are exhausted after being on their feet all day, so the first thing they do is sit on the couch, which is why they take their nasty socks off by the coffee table.

Love how he’s singing out loud and self-edits the word “ass” out. Singing Trap Queen in front of your mom can be perilous.

I hate the, “I picked a single sock off the floor, where’s my cookie” attitude. You her me asking for twenty minutes of praise for washing, folding, and putting away six loads of laundry, making a week’s worth of freezer dinners, and mopping the kitchen floor? No? Because I don’t get a cookie for wiping my own ass,…

Eh, I’m married, no kids and no intention of having any, and am not working or actively looking for work. My husband is happy with this and it’s something we discussed and agreed when my last contact ended.

Mine shoves his dirty socks UNDER the coffee table as if I won’t notice them that way. In his defense he takes them to the laundry at the end of the week but that means there are 5 pairs of horrible, nasty, chef-socks balled up under my coffee table for days. Allowing them to accumulate is part of my self-training on…

My husband will make something like toast and manage to dirty 14 various dishes, 3 pieces of silverware, and leave 5 open jars on the counter. It’s mind boggling. I ask him the same kind of stuff and he says he will make more like yours does, but he gives me a little grin because he’s totally lying and knows I know…

Thank you! I am getting my degree a class or two at a time, and will work part time after that. I am lucky to have a great support system. I was extremely active, fit, and career driven before this happened. 11 years later, it still sucks, and is still hard to accept.

They totally don’t. I’m the worst about passive aggressive cleaning, but no amount of slamming cabinets or loud sighing while scrubbing will get through to him. It’s more for me, at this point.

It’s comforting to know that all relationships are similar at their core.

“he wants sooooo much credit...” oh god yes. Like a fucking beagle (not to pick on beagles) waiting to be praised for being a good boy for wiping the fucking counter. YOU’RE AN ADULT PERSON, JACKASS.

Have fibromyalgia. I'd rather be working.

I think you’ve hit on something there - ‘clean as you go’ types, vs. ‘clean time’ people. My partner will decide once a week that it is time to clean, the problem is there is nothing to clean, because I clean up everything as we go along. Example: the deal is s/he who cooks does not clean. I end up having to scrub…

Either that’s an addict whose severe caffeine shakes require that grip, or her delicate lady hands can only barely lift a cup of coffee.

dear lord THIS

That’s me. I haven’t worked for about a year now. My husband makes enough money to support us and our lifestyle. And we have no intention of having children, although I do help my sister’s family out by picking up her kids from school and other errands of that nature. Otherwise I spend my day doing typical home/life…

We have a similar issue with underpants. Specifically, underpants which must come off so he can ‘breathe’ in bed, but then end up just being sort of tossed to the side of the bed. I would routinely pick them up in the morning to put them in the hamper. Then I got really busy with school and one day I lifted up our…
