My wife's the same way. She's a nurse, so she's always trying to get stuff like that done quickly.

I'd say it's going to the grocery store. She makes me feel like a kid "Grab a cart." "Don't wonder off" "Don't just throw something in the cart." "You're not getting that"

Eh, the mall doesn't bother me that much. Usually she'll treat me to lunch for putting up with the bs, or let me follow her into the dressing room :thumbup:

You are not even scratching the surface of questioning your manhood, wait till you are sent to the store to purchase tampons, pads and douche.
Haha....early in our marraige I was doing the weekly shopping (I always do the shopping because frankly I'm better at it) and on the list was panty hose for my wife. Not a problem. I picked up what she wanted and went to the checkout line. The girl behind the register quipped, "Are these for you?' to which I responded..."No, they are for my wife....I'd need 'queen' size.":laugh:

Seeing chick flicks in the theatre enrages me. I don't really mind if we watch at home. I once had to drop $14 a piece to see fucking UPTOWN GIRLS. :thumbdown:

Off the topic for a moment.... How are things with you and your neighbor, the one with the barking dog and daughter that was dating the creepy serial killer who parked in front of your house?

Listening to her

Live in a fucking pig sty, because she is terrible at picking up after herself. Least tidy person I have ever met.

No. I'm just more dramatic about the "pig sty" thing, b/c before I met my wife, I was an extremely (OCD) tidy person. I'm pissed about it b/c I've gotten to the point where I just don't care anymore, and that drives me nuts that I don't.

I wouldnt consider myself OCD about being clean and such but I do like to keep stuff pretty damned clean. I tried to let the wife and adult step daughter to accomplish their chores and such but it got to the point where it was just disgusting so I do it. I cannot stand dirty dishes or a dirty shower/bathroom.
Doing dishes right after you eat is a win-win. It looks better, and it is easier so why not?

I tried to be subtle and do teh stuff myself when they were in the room, tried telling them, but nothing works. I remember growing up that if I saw mom doing something I was supposed to be doing (like dishes, take out the trash) because I forgot I felt guilty.. But not them.

They all love going to get ice cream. Sunday I whipped together some cream cheese lasagna to be made for dinner on Monday. Afterwards only one of them, my stepson, actually did his dishes after eating. So I took him to the DQ and when they asked whey they werent asked I told them why.

So, you're saying you make her do things she doesn't want to do.

There are these remarkable inventions called books. Just because you're in the room doesn't mean one has to stare at the idiot box.

Put up with clutter- My fiance isn't terrible, but she does like stuff. Before meeting her, my apartment was sparse (couch, bed, computer, bookshelf and books), and I only owned one plate, one spoon, and one drinking glass, which should have made it very clear to women that it was not a place to nest... Now our house is packed with all sorts of little trinkets and decoration (which I call clutter) and enough plates, cups, silverware to feed an entire village.

Watch crappy movies- Typically I control the TV, and when I'm not watching something she puts on music. There are one or two terrible shows she watches, but I just read when they are on. However, once a week we watch a movie together with the cell phones and computer turned off, we rotate who picks the movie and her taste in picks is pretty bad. Lately it's become a war of escalation- the bigger the chick flick we watch, the more bloody/violent movie I pick the next week. Last week we watched that Sex and the City movie, this week I'm thinking we'll watch the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre...

Sleep in a bed with 5,443 pillows. I will never understand this. I owned one pillow in my apartment, now I have to spend a few minutes every night moving pillows so that I can find the actual bed...

There are things she watches on TV..and I don't. There are things I watch on TV and she doesn't. There are things we watch together.
Further, There are things she does that I don't. There are things I do that she doesn't. There are things we do together.

Then we go have sex later that nite.

No relationship will survive it either party is 'forced' to do anything regularly. If you are being forced to do anything on a regular basis...you are PW'ed..get the F*&^ out now before you lose all sense of self respect. If you are forcing/dragging you significant along on sh*& that she doesn't want to do...expect that one day you'll wake up and she will have left you for something better.

I hate shopping. Period. I don't do it.

My woman doesn't make me do anything. Nor do I make her do anything.

I am guilty of what she does. I have 5-6 pillows. But, my wife does have 2 or 3. I can never choose which pillow I want each night. I also sleep with two at a time, minimum -- one under my head and one on top covering my ears/eyes.
