Who knows what that lumber will become! It could create a breakfast nook to be enjoyed for hundreds of years. Those kids will only be around for 80 or so, and they won't even be useful half the time.
Load More Replies...Experience has shown me that women are excellent judges of character, and poor judges of lumber.
My mom used to hide Christmas baking in the freezer in containers marked "four cups cooked squash".
This is great. I have to remember to use this line next time my Mom invites people over because my husband would never hide snacks from me, hahaha. But mom? yes!
*screaming thru mega speaker* IS THIS LOUD ENOUGH?!
Load More Replies...For the same reason people in slasher movies never listen to me when I tell them "not there" or "behind you" ;p
My dad always screams at the TV when watching sports. Nobody ever listens, and he is almost sure it has to do with the guy at the TV station.
Wait till the children arrive. Planning needs a calendar, even then with allowances for unexpected rain-checks ;o)
My friend's husband cleverly approached her one evening with 2 Aspirin in hand. He gives her the Aspirin & she asks, "What's this for?" He matter-of-factly answers; "For your headache." She crumples her brow & says, "I don't have a headache." He grins; "Gotcha!" So yeah...she got pregnant that night. ;)
Absolutely! We both travel a lot and joke we have million dollar sex: it only happens when we both stay in the same hotel together!
its like when you lose something and check everywhere, and your mom tells you to look somewhere you've already looked but you check there anyway and find it there
You mom was just f'ing with you -- she stole your stuff and hid it back in that spot right before she told you to look there.
Load More Replies...Why do I get the feeling that being married is like being really, *really* close friends with someone?
Because that's the way it should be. Passion eventually burns out. True friendship lives forever.
Load More Replies...Good advice for men - always look for stuff 'like a woman'. That way you're guaranteed to find it.
My ex-husband used to come home, take off one shoe by the door, then clomp around the house for a while in just the one shoe. Eventually he'd get sick of it and take it off in some random place. Next morning, he can't find one of his shoes. So, I have to find it for him, and he was always suspicious because he had no idea he was doing this, and since I could find the shoe, maybe I was hiding it every day(?) So, so funny....Ex-husband, though.
That's funny, Marnee! Just curious, though, did this idiotic shoe behavior have anything to do with his eventual "ex" status? Lol.
Load More Replies...My partner does this all the time. I'm colorblind! How the hell am I supposed to know these two pieces of clothing "go together" ? One covers my legs, one covers my shoulder legs, they "go together".
"Shoulder Legs" This is now what I'm going to call them:)
Load More Replies...My husband cannot match an outfit to save his life. I've tried laying out his clothes for him, but he ignores that, goes in the closet and always picks out shirts and pants that don't match. Then he gets mad at me when I tell him that his bright green shirt does not match those dark blue pants. I did not notice his lack of fashion sense before we married because he was in the army. He was always in uniform, or wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt back then.
I am convinced that the first inoculation every baby girl receives, contains the phrase, “Is that what you’re wearing?”
I am convinced the inoculation a baby girl first receives contains the phrase, “Is that what you’re wearing?”
I know it's a joke but this does happen a lot. It sounds odd to tell men to be brave and not let the wife tell you what you have to wear. She will get the message if you refuse to let her dictate to you.
Before marriage you probably didn't know to put the seat down but now, bc someone loves you, you do :)
I'm always nudging my husband's arm to let him know--sweetley--that the light has changed.
My friend had received a gift from her relatives in Finland. A small jar of Arctic Raspberry jam. The Arctic Raspberry may well be the most delicious fruit on the planet, it is a small, wild berry that one does not find in any huge quantities so this was a real treat, a gift of love, something to dip the very edge of your spoon into once in a while to make it last. And last it did. For a few days. Then her husband had some friends over for football - and ice cream. They found a jar of jam in the fridge. It went well with the ice cream. Surprisingly, they are all still alive and there is no end to my admiration of this woman's self control.
and there is no end to my admiration of this woman's self control. me also

snackaccident - so stealing this... it describes nearly everything I eat, at any time.
I'm going to use that next time I eat all my husbands snacks! Or better yet, I'll eat his snacks so I can use that!
In the early part of our marriage, while I was cooking dinner, my husband would consume an entire box of cookies and call that his dinner. Yeah, that didn't last long.
Yes!! Explain to us women why do you do this? The things that really need to get done around the house are always neglected, but when the man is in cleaning mood, they seem infuriatingly in favour of storage areas or rooms we barely ever walk into. Why, before I cry? :)
My husband; always attacking the storage room everytime guests are coming over, putting sh*t out of the store so the store looks "neat" and placing all the "s**t" to another room. Why would the guest want to see the store anyways T_T. And why taking out the sh*t and make another space sh*ttier?
My husband always cleans the yard...yet the kitchen will be messy. The yard must always be perfect.
my husband is usually the one moving my glasses, he sees them and thinks they are in a bad spot. When I wake up I need help, because of him!
I agree! I had to call someone over once, because I'm extremely shortsighted and couldn't find them. After breaking two vases "feeling" around for them I gave up and called in the cavalry.
My husband knows that before every meal he has to look for my glasses and bring them to me. I didn't make the rules, it's just the way things are. 🤣🤣🤣
We've changed a few things in the living room last week and we still haven't stopped congratulating ourselves on it.
Omgosh and then the different things you could put on those shelves?! It’s a life changer!!
It's true. Now my paint and car stuff isn't just laying around on the floor
Wait till you put something on them.... lawyers round the corner in the shadows ;o))
Hope she doesn't have a chip on her shoulder after that.
Load More Replies...Perfect! My bestie and I are planning on killing her husband with cheetos so we can just marry each other. Her husband completely approves.
The salt and powder of the Cheetos will help stop the bleeding and eating some of them will help you from going into shock.
Without fail, my father will fall asleep to ANY movie that we watch.
Real love is understanding and accepting that you WILL fall asleep on any movies played after dark.
my grandfather would fall asleep sometimes during the hockey match. my brother and I would change the Chanel to Ed Sullivan then he woke up he would look at the screen then change it back..
That is funny. Should not read them at work. Boss looks at me with a face: why the hell are you laughing when drafting a contract.
Somehow I think this is one of the reasons behind the surprise of so many men when their wife has finally decided she can take it no more and she is going for divorce. "But we were fine and then, out of the blue, she wants a divorce, I don`t understand."
Wife: I want you to rake the yard today Me: Should I get you the rake?
if we say we will do it, we will. you dont have to remind us every 6 months...;)
My Dad came home from work once and said I got the thing, for the thing, but I left it at the thing! My mom knew he meant: I got the part for the washer but I left it at the office !
Load More Replies...Hubby did that to me the other day, about a work trip he was on with a coworker. He's telling my parents the story and pausing when he can't remember city names or places and waiting for me to fill it in. No idea what he was talking about as I was not the coworker, but I managed to fill in all the correct town names he needed. Sometimes we just know what the answer is to "that guy in the movie that said that thing to the other guy"
And “where’s my thingamajig for the frammityframmah” from the guys.
OMG - so us. We have shorthand conversations like that all the time. We're huge movie buffs, so we also speak to each other in movie quotes.
I think that way so much, “hey, buddy, you gotta do the thing at the place with the thing.” I feel like I’ll know what I mean if I ever time travel.
It's all in the WAY it's said, if you ask me "What's the name of THAT guy from the PLACE who DOES the THING?" i would understand.
Funnily enough, if it was an Italian word, it would be pronounced like that.
Ours is a little more depressing...well not really. We usually exchange days coming home to let the dog out to pee on lunch. Oh ignore my first sentence, playing with a puppy on lunch trumps the "quiche" (also ignore that I said trump, I can't believe I used that in a sentence, what a terrible pres).
What you have to do is use the 5,2,1 method. One partner suggests five (or more) places to eat, the other partner chooses two, the first partner chooses one of the two.
Though many stereotypical "wife-isms" don't apply to me, I am SO guilty of this. Even more infuriatingly, I only ever seem to know what I DON'T want, as he's desperately coming up with ideas.
I always thought it'd be funny to open a chain of buffets called "I don't care", "I don't know", and "Anything" as in I'm up for anything. :)
I once helped a cooking student in his plan, he needed to design a menu and name his restaurant. I didn't show him before I printed out the page "NOWHERE IN PARTICULAR". As in "where do you want to eat?"
This is why I just tell my husband when I want him to notice something. i.e. "I got my hair cut and colored today. You will notice and appreciate." Saves a lot of drama.
Let me guess...the penis appeared on his face right after he failed to notice you got a cut & color? Fairly done...
Of course he noticed, but if he’s worried he might say the wrong thing. “I noticed you had your hair colored.” “What? You don’t like it.”
I never understood why some women drag unhappy men around the shops. Just go by yourself, it's much more enjoyable.
If you drink lots of vodka before going to the mall with your wife, then lay on your back and point up the dresses of all the mannequins, she won't let you shop with her any longer. Worked great for me.
There is a Uniqlo in Shenzhen that has massage chairs outside. Perfect.
You are well within your rights to divorce him. He knew what he was doing. He has to pay the price
cause who in their right mind would buy ice cream with f***ing RAISINS

Load More Replies...Please start referring to him as your "current" husband. (Or maybe "currant").
yeah, my hubby was looking for a bowl, he spend about a minute looking. me: what are you looking for? hubby: a bowl me: they are right here, where they have always been. hubby: well they where not their 8 years ago me: no, but they were there 7 1/2 years ago.
My husband has no clue where anything in the house is and what spices we have :D
When my sweet husband asks: “Where does this go?” My stock answer: “Where it’s been ‘living’ for the last 18 years.”
After emptying the dishwasher for 5 years I still don't know where it goes
...and never will. That's where you hide the secret snax, or wine. Whatever works
But the Tupperware bottom does not know where its lid is either so they’re even.
Husband staring into frig: "Don't we have any _____?" It's right in front of him. Literally.
Him: where's The Thing? Me: Did you look in This Specific Cupboard? Him: Yeah, it's not there. Me: *opens Specific Cupboard door, moves a thing an inch to the side, points to The Thing, looks at Him* Him: ...thanks.
Right? We've lived in this place for (almost 2098 days as a matter of fact) and every once in a while HE unloads the dishwasher. Without fail, I will find 2-3 items sitting on the counter because he doesn't know where they go. They go THE SAME PLACE THEY WENT LAST TIME, dear.
My ex used to tell me HE was clearly the more intelligent one in our marriage. And I agreed because HE had the good sense to marry me and I married him. Only took me 23 years to smarten up.....
Haha, my dad always says that he married her a*s and her personality(after realizing he might die he apologizes).
That shows the great depth of love for you and compassion for the waiter.
Or he actually wants to eat before the place closes.

before going on vacation i printed all the menu's from all the restaurants we would possible be visiting and presented a file to my wife so she have 2 months to decide what to eat
That's consideration! My wife STILL doesn't know if she wants pickles with her Big Mac!
Well. since garage shelves were a "game changer" guess you won't be needing the counter space for sex so, Yeah~ Go Hog Wild!
Sad fact - I had this same exact discussion, but with myself. And the cats.
Cats are nice Rebekah. You need another one. We all need another cat.
Load More Replies...Toaster ovens are always worth it- think of all the pizza bagels you can make
I am single and have that same issue. I went ahead and bought it and gave it away a few months later. It wasn't worth the loss of counter space.
I got a huge bargain in bed linen at the weekend. My husband gave me a huge hug............. we're in our 60s. Is this good or bad?
There is an ancient Chinese proverb: If a vegan does CrossFit, which do they tell you about first?
I was born left-handed, but my mom trained me from start to be right handed for the precise reason you mentioned. As a result, I'm a right handed person who draws lines and writes characters in opposite directions, prefers to start pedaling with my left foot, starts swimming with either arm.... Heh, I think it's funny.
Load More Replies...I became right-hand because of a stroke at 53. My left shoulder out of socket and nerves messed up. Am now 64!
wife: are you trying to change the subject or are you just ignoring me?
all the seasons of Downton Abby, 3 seasons of Victoria, 3 seasons of the Crown, 3 seasons of Versalles, and 8 seasons of Game of Thrones.
and a couple seasons of The Vampire Diaries thrown in there.
Load More Replies...Don't you have 2 tvs. For togetherness to work you have to be able to watch your own programs on your own tv sometimes with no judgement.
My boyfriend and I were watching Riverdale together and he now watches by himself because i missed the last 3 episodes because I've been sick and he couldn't wait for me haha. It's actually not a very girly show so i think you're good on that one lol.
Ow much do I love my husband, and knew he was the one? A movie called CLERKS and feigned my interest, and then find out later he hated it, but watched it for me! So I love him lots!
That's REAL love. However, I'm up to 20 years of the Mother-in Law. I win.... ;)
Hey Stone, don't forget to watch the final episodes this week with Luke Perry's final performances on them.
You know, everyone makes fun of me for having a tape measure key chain on my keys until they need it.
Peak married married is turning to your spouse after visiting three separate home furnishing stores and saying “See, I told you the first one was perfect”. And then returning to the first store to buy the first damn thing you liked.
Only to find out that they sold it while you thought you could do better.
Load More Replies...So, I did that at age 22 before I got married. What does that mean?
Yeah, I make the hubs measure the space, after the time he wanted something and I said it wouldn’t fit, and guess what? It didn’t fit. I can eyeball it and he can’t. So now we measure and then he goes and looks and measures so it dits the space!
Some were funny.. but pretty much just the same people posting over and over.
My wife married someone she thought was normal. 20yrs later she is blessed with someone who is Autistic. She thinks she has problems with anxiety, back at her.
This was sorta good, but I would have liked it more if it didn't end on a sad note and that most of them actually made sense.
