Is anybody else's spouse like this?

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

You are joking right?

I offered that education free of charge by way of contrasting what it should be like. We could ignore each other. Ladies first.

My marriage is not like yours but my relationship has lasted 20 years. Don't blame feminism for the failure of your earlier relationships and marriages. Most people with hyphenated names, wives who make good dough working at jobs they enjoy and husbands who cook because they like it and are good at it do just fine without your "education". They may even be doing better.

Why is everybody always picking on Gary? If you keep doing that, he might not think he is welcome anymore! Sheesh!

Perhaps could be ON TOPIC to pick on Abdul's wife? Just saying...

You mean you like being abused by women?

I have not been abused by any women.

Purely speculation. Ignorance is bliss.

I agree, especially when it comes to your "lessons." No thanks!

The chefs are paid. They are men making money. Making money is a man's job. where is the contradiction?

And every day I am glad I married a Ukrainian. especially at lunch time.

So let me get this straight. A man in his house shouldn't cook because that's the woman's "job" (who isn't getting paid). But if he's cooking elsewhere and getting paid for it, then it's right because it's his job to get paid.... c'mon?! Nonsense.

I'm not glad that I married an American, I'm glad that I married the love of my life. But... good for you.

feel free to ignore them

As long as he gets paid I do not think it matters where he cooks.

That's not the point....

Just for the record, I'm not picking on you or anyone, I'm just in total disagreement with what has been said about women and cooking.

On another note, I find it funny that everybody keeps on going back and forth but Lord knows what happened to the OP.

Gary wants you to believe that by only subscribing to strict gender roles will you be happy and successful.

His posts are often filled with anger, so taking heed to them would be like taking driving lessons from a blind man.

Also, he seems to feel insulted pretty easily.

I showed my boyfriend this thread. He wanted to share his rules for my proper deportment and behaviour around him. It's handy for the other ladies!

• I demand that you lay prostate at my feet and look up at me in an adoring fashion while I play WoW
• There must be constant adulation of me as the King

• I demand that you keep the toilet seat UP when you finish going potty

• My food must be cooked to perfection

• I demand 5 star service

• When my glass is empty, you must refill without me asking.

• When my plate is clear, you must ask if I want a second portion or if it is okay for you to take it away

• You get to eat in the kitchen

• After I'm done.

• You are to read to me the daily news, without interjecting any comments

• You must cut my meat before you serve it to me

• You dare not insult me with inferior food

Abdul, remind her that the way to a mans heart is through his stomach. It sounds like she's forgotten that.

I won that battle without firing a shot. She grew up with brothers. They trained her well.

can show him Post #1, again, then ask him to offer up advice to Abdul on what he can do to get larger food portions? I fear Abdul has died from Starvation already.
