All of you Married folks out there!

[sparks19]

You women are never happy... LOL

I love my wife as Christ loves the Church. Still...

She can be a little messy from time to time. Most of the time it is just something to laugh at. Our running joke is whenever we stay at a hotel, it just seems her bags BARF all over the room not 5 minutes after we have been there. I just like to have things a LITTLE organized.

That being said, Tanya (Sparks19) is truely my soulmate. We have so much in common it is uncanny. 2-3 times a day, we finish each others sentences. Really.

LOL you MUST be talking about some other wife OK OK I admit.... I am very messy LOL.

I say the only thing that gets on my nerves sometimes is when he doesn't listen. I will say like 5 sentences and then I get a blank stare and a "huh" then I repeat myself only to find he is not listening again LOL.

BUT other than that I can't really say there is anything that really grates my nerves or anything. I really am one of the lucky ones. My husband cleans... cooks and pampers me daily LOL I feel like I do nothing for him but he assures me that I do lol.

I am divorced now but years later I realized how far down I was on his list of priorities and the problems that resulted from that. Everything and everybody came before home and me..

OK OK I admit.... I am very messy LOL.

That would absolutely be Stuart's biggest peeve with me! I am messy and I don't give a hoot about changing it! It is far more important to me that my dogs' yards are clean than if the top of my stove is wiped off!

Mine with him is his complete inability to throw anything out because he might need it someday; he might be able to build something with it; he can come up with 100 excuses for keeping junk!! He goes to the dump and comes home with almost as much stuff as he left with! Now that his shop is finished, he can keep all his treasures out there! He's going to be gone all summer/fall. That will give me a chance to take any remaining junk in the house to the SalyAnn!

the least he could have done was set the table, or at least got the kids dinner for them!

Did you ask him to set the table?

In all fairness, people aren't mind readers - and don't say "he should know better" - like I said, he's not a mind reader.

Also, how old are the kids? Can they set the table? If they are fairly young, get some indestructable plastic or corell plates. I set many a table when I was young. If this task is done before dinner is ready, then the problem should go away.

Next time he grabs one plate - give him the rest of the plates, give him a big hug, tell him how wonderful he is, and ask him and/or the kids to set the table.

It is something he has done since we have been married, and we have discussed it numerous times! It is not something he just did this one time! Hence his Nickname "One Way" .My kids have set the table numerous times. The setting of the table wasnt the real issue, the issue was that he thinks of himself first, and foremost, and that is not okay with me, and he knows it. The kids come first.

I'm not married, but the 3 of us act like a married trio (the guys are married, I'm the single third wheel lol).

Andrew grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, so he has NO cooking, cleaning, or common sence skills at all... He thought mopping the floor was putting water on the floor & moving it around with the mop.. no cleaner, just a huge lake on the floor

He said he wanted to help me cook KD one night... I knew his skills & asked him to boil water.. he got the biggest pot & FILLED it... heres the kicker... he didn't turn the stove on

My only issue with Chad is when I have to wake up him.. today it took me 20 mins! I was jumping on his bed, play punching him, sitting on him, tickling him, poking him, back rub, pulled his ear, flicked his nose, waved the blanket to make him cold... What got him up was when I was jumping on his bed.. he was laughing, then grabbed my calves & I fell on him.. that got him up lol ok its a lot of fun waking him up, cause I love jumping on his bed, but 20 mins is a little long When I have to wake Andrew up, I walk into the room (praying they are wearing undies at least!!), then slap his leg... He gets up really fast cause he knows when I wake him up, he slept in (hes not late for work, just later then what he wanted) lol

Men
ok ok ok I know they have a huge list on me, but its all good fun
