She met a French couple that are friends of friends of ours. She invited them to hang out with us sometime before they leave. We are sitting here just now watching football and she just blurts out "do you think they think we're swingers". "Uh...what?" "Well they're French and I know French people are weird. I invited them over and I don't know how they took that." I havent been able to stop laughing since and I think she's getting annoyed by how much I'm enjoying this.
You absolutely should have leaned into it and said yes. She would have spent hours agonizing over how to either cancel the plans or politely decline an orgy as soon as they walk in the door.
Pregnancy brain is real. Her: the oven is not cooking these very well. Me: let me take a look in a minute Her: nevermind, I fixed it. Me: what was it? Her: nothing Me: no really what was it? Her: I don't want to say Me: you put it in the wrong oven didn't you Her: shutup We have a double oven and I have done this too but she doesn't know that
When I bought the new house it came with double ovens. Had planned on replacing them. Now I'm not sure how you single oven heathens can live with yourselves.
Until just now I never knew a double oven was a thing you could have. Apparently I'm pretty poor. Sounds pretty sweet though.
what's he look like? congrats on now knowing your wife has thought about what it would be like to take his penis
Wife has her clock set 8 or 9 minutes fast or something similar in her vehicle because she lives her life 15 minutes late. A week or so ago we got to something early like I always want. Looks at me angry. "What time is it?" "10:38" "We're 7 minutes early?! I could have gotten other stuff done. I hate being early." ""
My wife has hers 7 minutes early. I’ve never understood the reasoning as much as she’s tried to explain it. I just don’t comprehend.
I do 11, 22, 33, 44 etc because I am either too lazy to move my finger to another button, insanely efficient with my efforts or on the spectrum. Not sure which, maybe a little of each.
I actually love this idea. Heard it a few years ago. 80% of the combined income goes into a shared pot and 10% into each fun fund Now everyone tell me why it's dumb
Ugh yes this is me. I never focus harder at any point in my life more than when I try to mentally process what time to set the Microwave down to an exact count of seconds. I have no fucking idea why I do it.
I think it’s a good idea for couples who may get annoyed at the other’s spending habit. It’s annoying to track IMO.
Doesn't seem that hard. Direct deposit into the same account. We make X per month combined after tax. I set up automatic transfer for 5% of X each month to both accounts every two weeks
Didn’t say it was hard, it’s easy to set up. It’s annoying to track purchases and separate pools of money, at least it was for me. Wife and I did this for a bit but I eventually stopped it since everything is commingled. And we don’t nag each other about stuff we buy.
For those wondering, one is for bills, one is for other spending and the third is for all of my porn website subscriptions.
My wedding is in a couple weeks. She wants to just send 100% to my checking account. I told her about this idea and she literally said “but I just use my credit card when I need something. I am bad at math so I am not sure what 10% will be”. God bless her as she isn’t really that bad at spending but I can imagine this is going to be a work in progress.
do y'all not use budgeting software? big reason why having multiple accounts was superfluous to me is I use YNAB.
Us too. She pays some bills, I pay others, and nobody cares or inquires about the rest. Although we did open a marcus account to consolidate cash for a house down payment.
to be overly general, modern jewish people trying to live kosher to this level is one of the more mind bottling things to me. Like I get that poor southerners like their jesus and all so follow some old customs. But most of my jewish friends are highly educated rational people who bend towards atheism but for some reason they still do this kosher thing. Any hebrews in here feel like shining a lil light?
It’s a good idea to have multiple accounts in the event one is compromised and you need to freeze it.
i feel like we can skip the ibs part though. more hot stripper sex. less ibs is a rule i try to live by.
Was reading this comment thinking to myself, hey, that's how my wife and me do it. Was also thinking how it seems to work pretty well, when at that exact moment I get a gmail notification of apple airpods being ordered. Some background info is just yesterday she asked if she could borrow mine for a while so she could listen to training videos at work with them, no big deal, I don't hardly use them. Apparently she couldn't find them last night though so of course it makes sense to just order another pair...
We have the $100 rule where there is at the very least a text message communication about the purchase prior to buying. That works for the most part.
Jew-adjacent here; my wife’s Jewish and I’m an active member of our synagogue. It depends almost entirely on where you fall in the spectrum from (least to most strict) reform, conservative or orthodox. To your point, many college-educated Jews - especially who started reform or conservative - wind up agnostics and not strict adherents to things like keeping kosher.
i mean, i get that. I still celebrate xmas with the fam. I'm just more confused be Kosher seems an extremely limiting and out of date life strategy. It just strikes me as odd to continue on with something that dramatic after dropping yaweh.
