So you're level of tolerance for everything/act/trait that you have ever experienced has been EXACTLY the same your entire adult life?
quote:Actually, it's precisely because I'm north of 40 that this is easy to believe. I've matured.
From posts that you've made in the past, I got the impression that you were north of 40 so I find this hard to believe.
Petty assed shite that NEWLY bothers me is quite obviously MY problem, not the problem of the other parties in my life who had nothing to do with my revised version of annoying.

But if you just say flat out "you knew about this already so I have no obligation to change", that just seems unnecessarily rigid.
I mean, if my wife suddenly said, "I really don't like swallowing anymore", we're gonna have issues and I most certainly AM going to say, "um, you knew................"

I think he's more getting at the idea that the contents of the package were known prior to purchase, so bitching about how much it annoys you seems asinine. For example, you bought the GI Joe with the kung fu grip. That's what you wanted and that's what you got, out of all the GI Joe's, you went with kung-fu grip. Then, after you play with it for a day, you start bitching at the GI-Joe for not having f*&king laser cannons. Well no s&%t he doesn't have laser cannons, you specifically, knowingly, purchased the one with kung-fu grip! If you wanted laser cannons, then you should have bought one with laser cannons instead.
Or, you go to the hot dog stand. You have the choice of a hotdog with ketchup and mustard, or one with chili and cheese. You get ketchup and mustard, but after paying and eating half of it seemingly happily, you start getting mad at the hot dog for not having enough chili and cheese. WTF!? You said you didn't want chili & cheese! That's why you bought me, right? Because you love mustard, who doesn't love mustard?
Bottom line, a kung-fu grip will never be laser cannons.
Mustard and ketchup will never be chili & cheese.
Know what you want and appreciate what you have rather than complain about what it's not.

I'll sit down to pee or pee in your shower.
but since i don't get to have that.... i just want the seat down.
for me.. it's like if your roommate got a super, awesome new car... and then parked it in the garage making your old, crappy car sit out on the driveway...
not fair
a. that you get a new car that lets you drive anywhere you want...
b. AND you get to keep the garage the way you want it... NO FAIR!!!

Yep. And I'm not an arse if I point out that you're not going to get Chili & Cheese if you bought Mustard and Ketchup. I'm not an arse if I don't TRY to be chili and cheese. Here's a thought. Maybe I find it annoying to be chili and cheese and had you said you wanted chili and cheese at the outset, I'd have said frick you, I'm gonna find someone who likes mustard and ketchup.

The moment she gets married, many women commence to changing!! Man wanted mustard and ketchup. FOUND one with mustard and ketchup. Said, "AWESOME, I'll buy it" and then, the fricker starts slathering on chili and cheese" and saying shite like, "if you loved me, you'd support my wants".

Also, bringing it up after marriage creates distrust. It creates the perception that either one's affinity for mustard and ketchup was a ruse the whole time or that their SO is now acting irrationally, to which there is no appropriate or logical response.

Yep. Poor guy is thinking, "damn, I finally found a woman who loves me for who I am, and then I marry her, and turns out, she didn't love THAT me.......she loves this other version of me I don't even want to be".

Here is a good example of love and sacrifice from real life. we moved into our new house 2.5 years ago. three car garage, but the 3rd area is really more of a storage area.
we starting accumulating so much crap for the kids, bikes, scooters, strollers, stuff that needed to be kept in the garage and takes up the 2nd spot. so reallly our 3 car garage is a one car garage with a lot of storage space...I'm fine with that. I let my wife have the garage parking and I park my car in teh driveway.

Understood. I guess we'll just agree to disagree. I see it as I'm here for her and she's here for me. So we help each other with our problems regardless of where they reside.

Definitely. I'm not talking about become a Muslim or selling the house and living off the grid. Just the small things.

Alright.. We'll make a deal with you girls.. We won't leave the seat up.. We will just pee with the seat down. Trust me I don't like touching the seat either.

To make matters worse, if you decide to actually "man up" and be that chili cheese dog she wants you to be, then, suddenly, she seems not to really want the weiner that much anymore. She's tired, she's stressed, she has a headache, she has to get up in the morning. You try to be supportive and BE that perfect chili dog, until you catch her red handed eating some other mustard and ketchup hot dog and think WTF!? You made me go through all that work to become a chili cheese dog just to do this?
Life is tough for all those wieners out there.

I see no issues with any of that. Did you think I would?

No offense, but you're the Dad.
That's not a sacrifice, that's what you're supposed to do.
(I know you get this, emphasis for others)

That's the thing. I'm not talking about bitching. I'm talking about your SO mentions something that she would love to see changed and you do it because it costs you nothing and would mean the world to her.
I'll admit, it's hard to bring up a grievance without making it sound like bitching and it's easy to interpret an honest request as bitching, and I'd be lying I said I wasn't guilty of doing both occasionally.

what if she wants the chili but hold the beans?

Notice that I'm not talking about the toilet seat, or clipping toenails. I'm talking about real identifying qualifiers. Think a harley guy who's wife makes him sell his bike after they're married. Or a big sports fan who gives up his season tickets because she doesn't like going to the games anymore, when she went to every game with him when they were married. I'm talking about altering more than just hygiene habits or doing chores. Those things always require give and take whenever two or more people are living together. I am talking about women who really want to change their man's personality and hobbies, the things that make him who he is.

Which goes back to my much earlier point. It is EXCEEDINGLY rare for me to bring up some petty thing my wife does that I might find annoying. Why? Because "it costs me nothing" to tolerate it. Fortunately for me, my current wife shares that approach in return.
You know why so many marriages lose their passion? Because the people involved in them COMPLETELY stop acting like they did when TRYING to have passion.
When you first find a guy attractive and you head up to his apartment looking to get laid, you don't pass the bathroom with the toothpaste cap off and bitch about it as you massage his cock. You get on with it cause IT'S NO BIG frickING DEAL.
Then, you get married. He stops making moves and you start treating him like an overgrown teenager. You wonder why he's not that into you anymore. Well, he'd have "not been into you" if you'd have started that shite week 1, why do you think he's going to be "in" to you when you do it now?
