Like I said, I try 99% of what she orders when she offers. Just like she does to what I order when I ask. But there are times when both of us say no. There are certain foods I don’t enjoy, and there are foods that she doesn’t like. When that happens, we both say ok and go about our meal instead of acting like toddlers and asking multiple times.
Wife didn't put a lock on her kindle. My 3 year old loves playing with it. She somehow managed to buy a book today, which happened to be
We were at my in laws yesterday with the kids, and took separate cars since my wife had an appointment with our daughters prior. As we (6 year old son and me) leave the neighborhood and watch my wife almost tag a curb, then get 2 tires on the grass, my son asks in a joking manner, "Daddy, wouldn't it be funny if you an mommy got in an accident?" Well, son, let me tell you a little story...
Vindicated She has always stopped at yield signs no matter if another driver was there or not. I never said anything since it’s not something I cared about. But tonight I came to a roundabout and no cars were coming so I just went on through. She comments at how I didn’t stop at the yield sign, I say how I only have to yield if someone else has the right of way. She didn’t believe me so she googled it and begrudgingly admitted I was right
Wife is on a girls trip in Orlando. Last night she was telling me how they found this great deal for so much off park entries if they just went to some presentation at a hotel this morning. I thought that sounded like a terrible idea because I know what those sorts of things are and told her I'd just pay full price if I were them. But hey, it's them. She has been messaging me all morning about how awful and drawn out this presentation is, how pushy they are being, and how they just wanna GTFO of there and go to the parks. Who could have predicted this?
Sitting through a timeshare presentation or whatever during a girl's trip to save money reaches a level of frugality that I've never seen in a woman. Assuming she doesn't take the bait, you did good kid
She is fairly frugal compared to other women I dated before, but I don't think she'd have decided to do this on her own accord. Pretty sure this was one of her friends idea and she didn't wanna rock the boat.
My wife made some instagram crockpot teriyaki chicken bowl recipe today for dinner. Spoiler We had Chick-fil-A for dinner.
The water dispenser on our fridge is broken, so I bought a Brita dispenser to use until we can get it fixed or get a new fridge. I asked my wife to fill it up while I was doing something else. Happened to glance over and saw her take the part with the filter off and just fill up the tank, sans filter. She had watched me fill it up numerous times before.
MLS is relatively cost conscious regarding the household but this conversation did remind me that she had a filter system installed so our bathroom and kitchen tap water was filtered (I don't think it was a crazy expense but we also had to pay something monthly) - we proceeded to not renew the lease and move out like two months later. So congrats new tenants on the purified water in the bathroom.
I happen to live in an idiot Texas place that banned fluoride in tap water so had to give our kids when they were little the most disgusting fluoride drops so they didn’t get meth mouth. Shit was foul
We bought my wife a car and she bought one of those car wash memberships. She gets rear ended and car is body shop for a few weeks. I had the rental washed 1 time and they deactivated hers and said next time she came thru they would give her a new sticker. They did. 3 years later she still won’t ever use car wash unless I say something “bc she never knows if it’s gonna work”
It's a female with a girlfriend that's back and forth from Jackson Hole and West Hollywood, I'll re-emphasize the "relatively" pretty heavily here. But in sincerity she's pretty solid with her budget but she has a hard on for water quality. Our Evian outlay and her needing to tip asinine amounts everywhere would probably be the two immediate cuts any decent forensic auditor would demand.
Last week we're at a very average bar downtown because I had a meeting nearby and I had to take a phone call - by the time I got back to the table she has exchanged numbers with the server (not attractive) and they're planning dog play dates. Tips $100 on like a $45 tab because she was "really sweet" and "her dog is adorable" This same woman will spend 3 hours on the phone with Spectrum or Blue Shield in a heartbeat to debate a bill.
I only added that aspect because otherwise the assumption would be we were trying to bring her home. A $100 tip for a couple of shots is insanity.
Also no hate on the new Land Rover whatsoever but we’re sure as shit not buying one. Lol. I left town for two days and they’re hammered at 6am on a Sunday - no shaming.
Girls will call their Lamborghini Urus, Range Rovers, G Wagons, etc. fancy jeep. I'm not justifying it - but it's frequent.
