To be fair, that is a reasonable assumption when dealing with you.

My wife and I have these same issues, just like every couple. I don't work all that much, but when I do, it goes in intense bursts that can be very all-consuming for me, and I just want to crash when I'm not working. My wife works, too, and her work is also very demanding. Throw in a bunch of kids, and figure out who does what. It can be shitty, and we can get snarley with each other, but kids still have to do homework, practice instruments, get driven to practice, eat, be dressed, and so forth. So, there are things that we have merely started to assume with each other - I do laundry on Mondays and Thursdays. Always. The kids help me fold it. I do the bulk of the cooking, because I like it. My hours are generally more flexible than my wife's, so I end up spending more time with the kids over all. She does almost all of the cleaning. She does everything she's able to, given her time.

This is an adult relationship. Shit's going to get uncomfortable from time to time, but that's where communication helps. And if you decide to bring kids into your relationship, you better be willing to alter your routine. If not, you're a fuckwit, and you should have kids. It really is that simple.

You kidding? I have trouble lasting two minutes, let alone 10 hours.

Having children just sounds exhausting, does anyone still question why my ex and I broke up over this difference of opinion?!

Remember how the rules of this subforum were that trolling wasn't tolerated but he openly admitted to having us fall into his elaborate ruse yet there is absolutely no punishment for it? Good times.

It probably would have helped them, they were together for 15 years before having kids, after having kids they were divorced in 5.

Two weeks?! Try one day, and that was after everyone started freaking out about me going on vacation.

Shit, I try and offer the guy legit advice instead of making fun of him or calling him an alcoholic and all you guys do is ignore it and try and shit on me.

I love the response "I'm tired, I worked all day!" Bitch what the fuck do you think I did for 10 hours today? Played with my dick?

The best one is when they spend pointless time arranging things in the house or cleaning something or decorating something that literally nobody in the world gives a shit about but them she's doing things "for the house" and so it's not "fun time" in the "you watch the kids so I can have my fun time" conversation. And its like, what the fuck. I wish you wouldn't do that shit, much less give you credit for doing it. Just stop.

Also, do ya'll needle your wives over time spent getting ready in the morning? Haha I push that now and then just for shits and giggles.

I honestly don't know what the fuck my wife does in the morning to get ready. It takes her like 45 minutes to get dressed and eat cereal. I shower and eat in like 3 minutes. She gets all mad that I shower because I somehow make her late.

My impression is she sits around bored as fuck watching dumb TV shows all week and is looking towards her husband to entertain her. He'd rather drink and be entertained as opposed to be the entertainer. I suspect most of us on this forum are similiar in that we can entertain ourselves for hours with a computer and broadband internet. I know if I don't "schedule" that appropriately with my wife then it causes tension... not so much that she gets naggy but she gets obviously bored and lonely and that in itself influences my "fun leisure time".

Yea my wife takes like 90 minutes in the bathroom and then "comes downstairs" and tries to count that as the time she left... then spends 20 more minutes in the kitchen "getting breakfast and packing her lunch"... lol

Women are fucking slow.

The part of the morning routine that takes the longest is shaving. And that takes like.. 3-5 minutes tops.

I don't understand how anyone can be that slow. I mean, sure, I kinda get it. They have more clothing options and the choices are more important. But...

not that important.

If she has to wash her hair that does take a while. The blow dry phase alone takes 10m+ if she has long hair then she has to straighten it.

Dude my wife takes like 40 minutes just in the shower. She has like 10 pounds of camel thick hair on her head which she does some kind of special cold rinse on, shaves, and then sits and dries the shower stall because water causes mildew and its cleaner if its dry. Haha. I can't really complain about a clean house it's a first world problem for sure, I just don't count on her going anywhere with me on short notice. Which can be a plus in itself...

I usually am laying in bed in my boxers when my girlfriend gets ready then she starts nagging me for not getting ready and I ask "are you ready?" She says yes and so I get dressed and ready in a minute and then have to sit around for ten more minutes while she just "finishes up".

Yeah in the morning she takes an abnormally disgusting pregnancy shit and then starts getting dressed. I usually wait until I hear her start brushing her teeth before I get up but the whole time she's going "I DONT HEAR YOU GETTING UP"

BITCH I CANT DO ANYTHING WITH YOU IN THERE
