    Beer + football game = my kinda night.

    Then what follows....

    Victory sex OR angry-my-team-lost sex.

    Either way, you get the three essentials-- BEER, SPORTS, SEX-- in one evening. :drinker:

    Life is good.

    Fin.
    Awesome, you are full of awsomeness

    OKAY>> WTF?!?!

    Are you SERIOUSLY complaining that your man is doing the dishes wrong? At least he is doing the dishes!!!

    Complaining that he is folding laundry wrong? At least he is folding laundry!!!

    Complaining that he grabs your boobs? You're right, he's not supposed to like them..

    Complaining that he wants to watch football when it's on instead of have sex RIGHT then? Become a ****ing lesbian!!


    UGHHH seriously.. Y'all need to pick your battles.. Is towel folding and dish placement really that important?

    What ever happened to just hanging out, enjoying each other and not nagging over EVERY little thing?

    Yes, there might be towels on the floor and the clothes might not be hung up, and we may sit down and have a beer while watching football and having sex AFTER.. but hell, I have NEVER had a bad relationship and have always been treated like a queen.. why? Cuz I don't give a **** about the petty stuff..


    Have you ever lived with a boyfriend??

    My boyfriend doesn't understand why I clean so much..I let him know if I didn't do it no one else would, and the house would become condemned. This quiets him until he forgets and asks again. :laugh:

    ETA: This doesn't make him sound too swell, but he does pick up after himself and helps when I ask. I'm job searching now so I'm around more to take care of everything.

    After being married for30 years, my husband and I have figured out that most of the things that people argue about is just to petty to matter. I still get irritated by little things like him not cleaning the sink after he shaves. (He cleans but not the way I would like). There are many things that we could argue over. But life is just to short!

    Edited to add: I do not take my husband shopping for anything except groceries! He could never understand why it takes me hours to pick out a pair of jeans! I don't think the poor man could handle it.

    I don't think most of us are really complaining, I know I'm not. I was pretty sure this thread was all meant in good fun, and that's how I responded.

    I thought it was simply some of the things men and women see differently, and not necessarily things in a relationship that people fight or nag about.

    For example- My husband doesn't get that I think there is a "right" and "wrong" way to load the dishwasher. I think it's fantastic if he loads the dishwasher, however he does it. But sometimes we will be doing dishes together, he'll put something in, and I'll say "that goes up top" He rolls his eyes, moves the dish, and we move on. It's not a fight, just a quirk of mine that he finds confusing.

    Same for the boob grabbing instead of a hello. I don't mind that he finds me attractive, we just see differently on what constitutes a proper greeting.:laugh: Usually I'll walk by, he'll grope me in some way, and I'll tell him that doesn't count as a conversation. That leads to some leering, eyebrow wiggling, and his promise that "we'll have a more thorough conversation *later*" :bigsmile: :wink: :devil:

    I've had female roommates too and it is ALWAYS drama and bull ****.. they are never happy and nag and complain about everything.. this thread is the perfect example.. it always has to be a complaint.. women are not happy unless they have something to complain about. It's something that they think is "bonding" and strengthens social circles or something.. I will never understand..

    The only thing he doesn't understand since I'm not a huge girly girl, is why I wrap a towel around me and go into the room and dry off there rather than in the bathroom like he does. But I need room to flip my hair around to dry it and that bathroom is tiny. :|

    yep.. high horse, that's me ;)

    I didn't make my statements to make friends.. I'm a *****, it's a known fact.. But at least I know how to treat a man and appreciate him.

    Grab a beer, kick up your feet and chill the **** out..

    :)

    Jenina, I so agree, they so need to. I think the problem is that most women think its fun to complain. The other women and men tell jokes and funny stories. I think jokes are more fun. Maybe its just me but then again, ill never understand women.

    Wow... this thread really went awry. Listen, men and women have quirks.... I believe the OP started this as a way to joke about those quirks. Me? I don't care HOW my husband folds the towels, does the dishes, etc.... I appreciate that he does.... lol, but yeah, in the end - in my head, MY WAY is the right way.

    The shampoo and conditioner thing? So many of us women are guilty of that... it's a quirk and I'm sure it kinda drives my husband bonkers... but he loves me, and he deals with it.

    Jenina, I prefer to be around men more than women too.... but seriously, you came in to a fun-loving thread and doused a big ol wet blanket on it. No one was actually "COMPLAINING" about their SO. Ok, well maybe I was last night a bit... dammit, I really wanted my apple! LOL... but hey, he saved me the calories.

    I'm married to the most amazing man in the world, who after 6 years of marriage and 8 years together still completely rocks my world on a daily basis. We revel in each others quirks! Shoot - we find constant humor in it... we're constantly flipping the toilet paper roll around on one another. Because I like the toilet paper to come over the roll, he likes it to come out under. He's 6'3 - I'm 5'2 - he doesn't understand the way that I've arranged our cabinets... but then again - he doesn't understand that it's like to have the top shelf be a complete waste of space. On the good side... he can hide all of his junk food on the top shelf and I'll never know it's there. LOL. Differences are fun - and laughing at them is fun - it doesn't mean we're complaining!
