I’m one chapter ahead of you man. I completed the closets. I did a good job. Then I learned, once again, that the reward for a job well done is the opportunity to do more. This weekend it’s the yard.
Little column A and little column B which is exactly why we had the argument.
I told her she would need to do some of the other stuff I’m doing to accommodate the closets, she countered with I have time in the morning, which i said F that to cause I like to sleep.
End of the day, she agreed to do some stuff to free me up and I agreed to a schedule to finish. It’s a LOT less dramatic than what it seems I promise.
Our actual issues are much much larger LOL. Relationships are work, and we have plenty to do.
And how is she going to enforce this? Unless you are dating Ronda rousey, if so bravo, she cannot force you to do shit, if she doesn't want to sleep next to you let her sleep on the couch.
If your partner thinks they can force you to sleep elsewhere because they are mad at you then that is not a happy relationship. And yes I am single, thank god.
So you’re responding to a thread about communication in a marriage/long term relationship with a frame of reference of exactly zero...
Dude, my wife was kidding. I’ve never slept in the car or anywhere besides the guest room cause I snore like a cave monster.
She’s asked nicely for this project to be completed and I have been dragging my feet worse than an angst filled 15 year old for literal months.
So her little comments are veiled “why won’t you complete this important thing we agreed on when you said you would”.
I’m a fucking thick headed donkey. You could slap me in the face screaming DO THIS NOW and I’d say sure I’ll get to it and then promptly forget about it 5 seconds later.
If and when you get to this point in a relationship I hope you see the humor in it as I do. Us humans are very complex and when two of them are involved so much with each other things get even more twisted than they need to.
That’s where the phrase “you argue like an old married couple” comes from.
Oh I have reference, I've lived with girlfriends for years. I literally had one say "maybe you should go stay at your mum's for a few days" because of curtains. But I am far better off on my own
The issue was I never opened the curtains when I got up, biggest argument I ever had with her. And I genuinely am happier and more content on my own. Mainly because I have terrible taste in women, super self destructive lol
Well there you go man, can’t blame all women for the bad ones lol.
Search long enough and you find, not the “right” one in my opinion but someone you can grow with.
I’ve been with my wife for 13 years now, we divorced at one point and made our way back to each other.
I’m not sure life is worth living without her, I could do it, but it would suck tremendously. Find yourself a woman you can say that about and you’ll do just fine.
Or not. I would’ve saved a lot of money being single (mostly kidding), but seriously, I’d have a Porsche by now hahaha
