A typical conversation with the wife...

The other ones that drive me nuts are not wanting foor or drink when I am making it. Then eating mine. Also shouting to me from the top of the house expecting me to either come up and talk to her or bring her something. I refuse now and have made it clear if she wants to talk to me I will ignore her shouting and she can come and find me rather than expecting me to find her.

It's only avoidable by spending the rest of your life single or becoming gay :p

And yeah, I always go for the (marginally) safer option of buying a gift (although it's still inevitably wrong in some utterly insignificant way e.g. "I wanted the sky blue one, not the duck-egg blue! You don't know me at all!!")

That last bit is awful.
If you've genuinely made effort and get picked at for it I sure wouldn't buy something again.
How selfish
 
My wife said to me again the other day we're not doing Christmas presents for one another. Which is fine by me, we never really do for Christmas and I haven't died yet.

We've agreed not to do presents for each other this year, then on the weekend I said something about needing a new wallet and she turns around and says 'oh don't get one.'

So I say 'I thought we weren't doing Christmas this year?'

'Oh we're not, but the cats still need to get you something'

basically my missus and me at dinner :p

i always say what i dont want because its always what we have in the end :D
 
So much truth on here.

The one I hate as others have said is the old classic

her: "oh your going to play the computer or work out in the gym???? I thought we could spend some time together"
Me: ok what would you like to do?
Her: Just sit and spend some time chatting and watching TV maybe a hug on the sofa.
Me: ok ill tell the lads I wont play the game I arranged or gym session tonight

Sits on sofa queue worst TV know to man soaps, don't tell the bride and other crap.

Me: This storyline is a pile of crap, that doesn't happen in real life... Oh you cant afford the bills but can spend every night in the queen vic.......
Her: cant you just watch the tv in peace
Me: Ok cool how was your day anyway......
her: shhhhh I missed that bit now
me: ill rewind it back for you.....
Her: oh Ive missed that bit now....

Queue not talking while she hugs me texting her friends and looking at facebook on her phone not watching the TV


Her: falls asleep on husband
Me: "inside head thought" oh spend time together what a great evening

Generally now we make an evening were we watch something we both like and then the other evening do what we both like so the other person doesn't get pee'd off. I cant be force to sit infront of the tv each night would drive me mental. Thank god I can get out and walk the dogs for an hour of peace by the lakes

This one in particular drives me flipping nuts. The misses says I never listen to her, which in a way is true. Part of my brain does sometimes have a tendancy to turn off after about 5 minutes, but 99.9% of the time, she has mentioned something very very quickly under her breath whilst facing the opposite way or upstairs in another room without raising her voice.
I then get an angry "I did tell you about this".

If she emphasised things like "oh we have to be there at 5pm ok!!" instead of saying blah blah blah blah so and so said this, blah blah blah so it's at 5, blah blah blah. I would have a much better chance of remembering.

I think my wife is a rare woman who understands her mortality, we are spinning on a rock in the middle of nowhere and that it's probably better to just crack on than waste energy and time on nonsense arguments.

With food, we set out what we are having as we buy it in the supermarket. So we both know what the crack is. Whoever gets in first on an evening starts the tea.

Can't believe no ones's had the classic:

Me: what do you want for Xmas?
Her: nothing
Me: you sure?
Her: yeah, don't worry about it, just get something for <son>

*Christmas day*

Here we have one of 2 possible scenarios:

Didn't get her a present:

Her: can't believe you didn't get me anything, you're such a ****
*argument*

OR did get her a present:
Her: can't believe you got me a present when I told you not to, you've made me feel guilty for not getting you something now!

*Sulks for the rest of the day*

This has reminded me of a classic one from my mate:

All year his gf kept going on about an expensive set of GHD hair straighteners. Every time they went shopping these GHDs would crop up in conversation. So, fast forward to December and my mate asks her what she wants for Christmas and she says "ooh, surprise me!".

On Christmas Day she opens her present from him to find some perfume (I think) and a huge look of disappointment on her face....

Mate: What's wrong?
GF: Nothing...I was expecting something else...
Mate: Like what?
GF: Like those GHD hair straighteners I've been hinting at for months?
Mate: But I asked you what you wanted and you said make it a surprise. If I'd got you the GHDs it wouldn't have been a surprise because you were expecting them.

I think he still has the bruises...
 
Some of these posts are really sad. Even though they seem small if a lot of these partners are like this all time makes you wonder what is the point of the relationship. (not saying they arw).

The dinner conversations ones aren't so bad. But the spending time together and then on the phone and ungrateful for thoughtful gifts.
 
Have similar, but we understand eachother so its fine and normally funny, like last night we were walking through the food court finding a restaurant

Her "Oh this soup looks good"
Me "Ah I fancy th-"
Her "no I really want this soup"
Me "so you're saying you want the soup, but want to share as you cannot finish it?"
Her "yeah, pretty much. But if you don't want to soup you can grab something else"

Yeah...yeah sure I can :p :D
 
Or better yet when they say "well, what do you think?"

The decision to them is already done, irrespective of what you think :p

So. Much. This.
 
Thankfully my gf has good taste in tv/films/anime :p

When it comes to indecisiveness with what to eat, we always default to Mexican. Always. :D

The clothes/outfit thing rings true though, the decision has already been made, they just want your affirmation, and if you disagree, it is irrelevant.
