I am aware that many men do not share the results of their work days with their partners and that some men find it distasteful for their partners to do so with them. If this is you....Stop reading and go look at boobies...


If not, I have had a completely terrible day today...and there is no Gravy to provide me solace...I am still at work...taking a small break so I can giggle a bit and I just needed to tell someone that my day has fucking sucked.

You should go look at boobies now.

is that an offer?
Some days suck, but they end and new days start. If all days rocked, no days would rock. You need the sucky days so you can appreciate the rocking days.

Good for you for getting those sucky days out of the way so you can enjoy the rocking ones!



I have problems with talking to my spouse about work because she works for my company. Either, i am soo done with listening to my own companies bullshit for the day i am in noo mood to hear about her day, OR the shit that fucked my day up i can not tell her as it would effect the way she thinks about work and i cant put that on her.

The worst is when she vents about her day and something at work that went wrong, and i agree 100% with her direct manager and not her about the way to solve it....took me a while to just learn to keep my mouth shut and nod..

Yep. Smile and nod. Women don't want you to solve heir problems. They just want to talk about them. And if they ever try to trap you into a "what would you do?" Know it's a trap. Gently say "I'm just here to listen". If you give your advice, you are fucked. And not in a good way.

That was always the best. Women have a different approach to work in my experience and every little small thing they'll take as spite against th em. I often found myself agreeing with her management.

I think it is really hard on a marriage. Food is one of those things that should be a non issue. Like drinking water...it's very rare that someone "needs figi" or "would only be seen drinking smart water" or "only drinks from the tap from mountain water states" but with food it's common.

Deciding what's for dinner is a horrible chore. Breakfast is even worse. I'm horrible at cooking, trying seems to make no difference and I don't enjoy it. Food sucks IMO. I'd rather a feeding tube than to ever have to deal with the gigantic everyday issue that is meals. Husband loves big meals.

I think people don't understand metabolisms. People maybe think "I have a fast metabolism" means I eat whatever I want and I don't gain weight. I think it means my body is hungry all the fucking time. My metabolism is so slow. I just eat a handful of this or that all day long.

I think successful marriages have partners with similar eating habits. He's so into trying new things-- I
a.) see it, know I won't like it and don't want a bite
b.) read about it and think I won't like it and don't want a bite
For reasons unknown this is an attack for people trying to get you to try something like black rice and mangos.

I don't like food like that, you don't like guys sucking your dick. It's not a big deal

I've found with food that if there's something I don't like, I can generally develop a taste for it over time if I care to put in the effort. I used to hate bell peppers, my dad loved them and always had the green ones. Had a gf at one time that often put red ones in salad, which I got used to and worked by way back up/down to green.

My wife's family is Korean, so there were a lot of pretty strong and different flavors that I've gotten used to over the years and now enjoy quite a lot.

I'll try pretty much anything except for that Vietnamese partially developed baby bird in the egg thing. And feet, not much interest in giving that a go.

May God have mercy on tyens soul

Deciding on dinner should never be up to a woman to decide unless everyone wants to eat at 1230 at night after the woman has cycled through 40 various meal choices and decided the first was "fine"

Welp! Someone needs to go to the Wife store and get an exchange, because mine? New meals every night right around 6:00 like clockwork. She loves to cook, is a great cook (Too good actually) and man do I have it easy. I pretty much get free reign of the house. Well, at least I think I do. Maybe that's her little trick.

Yeah our biggest arguments are deciding what to eat. Its always a trap question, but we play the game anyhow. She asks what we should eat. I offer two options. She gets pissy and says pick one. I foolishly do. She says my choice was stupid and we should do the other one instead. I basically just ignore this stupid game and play along now for the sake of détente.

On Mrs G's thing, the hardest lesson I learned in a decade of marriage is that women love to bitch about work but they want no real interaction (other than agreement) when doing so. Trying to actually suggest fixes to problems she was having resulted in fights. Nodding and not saying shit? Smooth sailing, beyond listening to about an hour of grumping at the end of every day, but you learn to tune that shit out with time. It has been said here before, but women do NOT want their problems fixed, they just want someone to vent at. It took me far too long to fully embrace that reality. And if your wife is smart enough to catch on to the fact that you are basically tuning her out, just toss in a question about a female co-worker and they will swallow the hook to go off on a tear, completely ignoring the fact that you are in your happy place and basically just nodding and ignoring.

I've been in engaging in a giant social experiment for the last 5 years where no member of my family actually eats the same thing for dinner. Everyone chooses what they want (my son doesn't get complete freedom of choice, but gets options) I cook it, then we sit down together and eat it. Sometimes my wife doesn't really eat dinner but still sits with us. It works out well so far.

We go grocery shopping as a family so we plan out dinners pretty well. We have pur wildcard/pizza/dine-out nights built in too

We are in the stage now where we have to plan out meals just for the kid. Sometimes it's the same as us, but a lot of times not.

I've eaten Kraft Mac n cheese with the kid more than I'd like to admit due to laziness.

You know what bothers me most is when kids today are entitled to their own food. (This isn't directed at you)

Back in my day, I ate what was on the table, or I didn't eat. We coddle too much these days. Hell, I even had to eat Liver and onions when I was a kid because that was my dad's favorite. Once a week. :(
