re: Anyone else’s wife wait till you sit down to ask you to do something?

all the time.

Mine will leave me be and not tell me she needs anything or will wait to start anything regarding how long I've been home until she is done on her phone or it dies.

Then all kinds of shite needs to happen.

To be fair..Full disclosure. She homeschools and does it well. House is kept, food cooked, laundry done...

Her breaks come when I get home a lot of times.

She will sit there with an empty glass of wine until I need a refill so she doesn't have to get up.

I spend the majority of my time around the house because either her or one of the three kids will need something as soon as I sit anywhere.

only every wife

You should counter with wife kryptonite: ask her to break down the Amazon boxes before throwing them away (or just out the back door, as if some gnomes will magically take care of it).

All men should be required to read threads like this and listen to some old Chris Rock bits before agreeing to marriage.

Married and bored, or single and lonely.

I want a wife with a 'Pause" button.

We've been married over 50 years, she has watch at least 1 hundred football games and has never learned a thing and peppers me with stupid questions, for example Monday night:

They're both wearing red, which one is Georgia?

I bet the penalty was for pass interference. It was offsides.

Why do the refs wear different hats?


I forgot the last 20 or so.

Mine it isn't so much the living room as it is the bed. She's usually hanging out in the bed, and I'll finish up getting the kids in bed and turn on the dishwasher and finally sit in the bed beside her, and she needs her water refilled, or me to hand her something from the kitchen or bathroom. Every now and then if I'm cranky I'll throw back something like "are your legs not working" but most of the time I head it off by asking if she needs anything before I sit down. She's finally realized to ask for anything when she sees me walk in the room, most of the time. I don't mind since I'm still up and walking around, but every now and then it happens after I'm starting to settle in.

Damn dude! She's laying in bed while your handling kids and kitchen duty.

It’s in the wife playbook! They’ve been studying that since they were in diapers!
