Is anybody else's spouse like this?

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

Maybe it is a culture thing. I grew up feeding farm hands so I am not a weight watchers serving type of person but my husband likes to use mixing bowls as personal bowls. We go out to eat and unless it is all you can eat he fusses about the tiny servings.

I see where your ol man is coming from. I use a mixing bowl for a cereal bowl and those all you can eat joints are always at the top of my list.

Holy Ganja! You eat your joints? We gotta have a talk.

I think the dispensaries call them 'edibles' these days

You could always cook and eat and clean up when she's not there, or when she's sleeping.

What are your thoughts?

And what about other women's work she doesn't do? He has to do that when she is not there also? Where does this end Darnell?

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

Sounds like an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) symptom. Look into that. I was married previously to a similar type.

"Previously" being the key word here.

Oh, I'm thinking it ends about 3 seconds after they sit down and have a meaningful conversation about all of this. I'm guessing (right or wrong) they've not done that, yet.

Iv'e posted about this before but they used to sell shirts up here and they listed 10 ways to romance a woman and then it listed 1-10 starting with bring roses and candy, compliment her hair, eyes, etc... and went on down the list. Then underneath that it had ways to romance a man and it listed only two things; 1) show up naked, 2) bring food.

Item 2 is optional

My wife is so stingy that is bothers me so much. We are at the table and the servings she makes are super small.she is not calorie conscious.i have told her many times to make enough food so that the person at the table wants another serving they can get it.she never understands that.she hoards food and saves everything to be eaten later.you only get one serving,period.it offends me really.i have told her about this so many times but she repeats the same thing over and over.she buys something special from the store and tell me i will put this away for now. we can use it at such and such occassion.i have never seen anybody like this before.please heklp.

Does she think you're fat?

[paojack 41]

[Sayha or bust. 71]

My wife is always shoving food my way and makes sure there's plenty to eat. I'm a big boy and my wife's a beanpole.lol

Sounds like my husband. He uses those for cereal too. He can eat like half a box of Cheerios easy, and he's like 150 lbs. soaking wet.

I do the vast majority of the cooking but I have to say, my husband has mastered the art of making egg sandwiches. What can I say, I get spoiled on Saturday mornings.

That's not good. Like others have said, maybe seek counseling.

Aha, S-Bone! I knew that you were a typical gringa. The very sage advice of Mrs. T-B.'s grandma, in Quito, rings in my brain. After she heard that I was a good dude, she told Mrs. T-B., "Serve him! Serve him well!"

(Perhaps in anticipation of becoming a gringa through naturalization, Mrs. T-B. didn't listen to Grandma much, no man. By the way, I tripped over the rag-on-a-stick while coming into the house yesterday, uff man.)

Well my mother-in-law always tells the hubs to be nice to me, 'specially cause I'm pregnant. After running around like a lunatic all week, working, cleaning, cooking, taking care of the kids, bribing them to do their homework, scrubbing marker off the floor with magic eraser (thanks to the baby), the least hubs could do is make me an egg sammich & coffee on Saturday. Besides, he's kinda proud of himself that he makes something I'll actually eat.

You still haven't gotten rid of the rag-on-a-stick?
