Virtual world. In real life if something cracked off between you and another female neither would let it go immediately so it would hinder future relationships.

this shows you just how little you know

None of their belongings ever contribute to clutter. It doesn't matter if everything you own can fit in the trunk of a Camry, it's all a problem. None of their stuff contributes to mess/clutter.

I just saw some of your posts in other threads. You are exactly who I thought you were.

Someone who has fun cracking jokes?

Guilty as charged.

It’s ok that we don’t understand one another.

He may think it’s funny, but I bet that lack of communication really bites him in the arse often. And he has such a big brain he’s letting go to waste.

I never said I don’t communicate.

I quickly learned that their love for seasonal decorations is quite serious.

We can't even have a thread bitching about women using too much TP and clogging the drain without all of the internet Karens screaming bloody murder like we just threw one of their 17 cats out the window of a moving car.

It’s probably been mentioned, but whenever she says “We” need to work on or fix XYZ around the house, it really means YOU need to work on or fix XYZ around the house.

I cut our grocery budget in half by offering to do the shopping. Plan a menu and stick to it.

She never came home from the store without spending $300. She went for tomatoes one time and came home with 11 bags.

I buy al groceries and staple items and do 90% of the cooking. I actually go to the store and buy groceries. Since COVID my wife has ordered groceries and had them delivered. paying a tip every time. They deliver crap.

I spend at least 30% less on grocery and staple items than we would if she were doing it not counting tipping the delivery driver. We also do not wind up with a bunch of junk food in the house.

We also do not wind up with industrial lots of things like washing detergent, kitchen utensils, cleaning supplies, paper towels...my lovely bride will buy a package of toilet paper that requires a fork lift and a warehouse to store. We go to the store a couple of times a week....we never run out of shite....but we lose a lot of shite if we have 10 times what we need. She enjoys shopping....and buying. Buying a 30 gallon drum of Dawn is a couple of cents cheaper per ounce but you gotta store the damn thing somewhere.

There was a cup cake holding tray delivered yesterday. She has not made a cupcake in years. Our kids are beyond that age. She has 3 of the things that are identical to the new one. They take up nearly an entire cabinet. Deviled egg trays by the score. Makes deviled eggs maybe twice a year. Makes damn good deviled eggs....and they are immaculately displayed on one of about 8 trays that require a cabinet to store. She readily admits it is a hobby and that financially we are better off with me doing the weekly shopping alone.

She went with me 2 weeks ago. I can buy a weeks worth of groceries by myself in about 30-40 minutes from the time I leave the truck to the time I get back in it. About $250 a week. 2 weeks ago it was nearly 20 hours and $397. At least 3 times, after I had gotten everything we needed, she would come up with a double arm load of stuff that caught her fancy while wondering the aisles. Almost all of it was duplicates of stuff we had in spades at the house. What was not in that category was either junk food or some sort of household gadget that we had lived without for 60 years.
