This morning

Wife: Why didn't we have sex last night?

Me: *stops what I'm doing* Huh? I didn't know you were in the mood.

Her: Well I invited you into bed to watch TV with me.

Me: We watch TV every night.

Her: Well this we different.

Me: Huh? How?

Her: Just forget it. *walks out of room*

Me: Huh?
My wife is like this too. She was standing in the door way saying some obnoxious crap to me while I was putting away some dishes. She stormed off after a minute and when I asked her what was wrong she said I didn't get the signals she was sending out. Not sure why women insist on mind games. If I want sex I either a) have a boner or b) ask. Sometimes I'll just be "manly" and try to take it (in a non-rapey way) and it usually works, but damn women are mysterious.

I'm telling you, it is all the TV that they like to watch. Watch any show geared towards women and look at how many conflicts in the show could easily be resolved with even a cursory amount of communication. Plus I think women feel like their lives should be more like the televisions shows they like so they manufacture these conflicts purely for the drama.

Oh here is a genius theory. Like women are the core demographic for How I Met Your Mother.

No it isn't. According to this feminist genius, all the catty superficiality and backstabbing that women flock to watch each night is due to "patriarchal privilege", not the fact that lots of women inherently enjoy it. This woman seriously rustled my jimmies today.

And people didn't like Skylar's character in Breaking Bad because she was a women. That's the only reason. Get with the times, people.

Posted about this before, but I can't figure out why my wife's parents are still married. They sleep in separate bedrooms, they eat separate meals, they buy separate groceries, watch TV in separate rooms, argue all the time. It's nuts. I imagine they're only together for the adult children that live at home and probably all the complications with finances that would come with divorce.

The real kicker is we found out the mother is going on vacation to Florida for 10 days. During that time is their 35th wedding anniversary. Didn't even consult the father. He didn't say anything, but if I were that dude I would be gone when she came home. She then told him (told) that he could take her car in for service during the week. Guy makes $110k+ a year, and she makes about $10k. I don't get it my Kangs. I don't get it.

He's waiting for some time to pass since he bought the 2 million dollar life insurance policy so it doesn't look so suspicious when he kills her.

I say this with all seriousness, I wouldn't blame him. The shit that man takes from that woman would drive anyone else to kill her.

If he forgets to buy her yogurt or something, all hell breaks loose. I forgot to mention he buys the bulk of her groceries because she can't afford it. And she makes him go shopping alone.

Grats on marrying her daughter. Odds are she will turn into her.

They're probably just old and co-dependent at this point after being married for so many years. My grandparents had separate bedrooms, separate TV's, and basically just used snarling as communication, yet remained married to the end. Part of it was cultural (divorce was just not an option), but even if it was they NEEDED each other, even if both were miserable.

He sounds like a gigantic, beta lapdog. He deserves his misery.
