Todd_is_God Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Insisted (despite my repeated highlighting that we'd be better waiting 1 day to avoid having to queue / distance because of restrictions) that we should go to IKEA today as "it makes more sense" Guess who's now in a huff cos she's soaking and I'm not talking to her... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Against a backdrop of her constant huffing that "this hoose is always a bombsite" and other tidiness whining, I iust discovered aswell as a shitty auld storage box thing, shes also took a cast off massive bean bag off her maw, which we have no place for and is not filling the wee cupboard under the stair. Literally all this thing that someone else didnt want is going to do is waste space until I have to take it to the cowp.

She simply cannot admit/recognise the fact that she's a hoarder. Her work sent her a foodie gift box thing the other day & part of it was a kitchen apron with company brand embroidered on it. After she ranted about how pointless & waste of money it was I told her just to bin it. The apron is jammed in one of the overflowing kitchen drawers now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 If she loses something in the house, everything comes to a halt and I'm expected to help her find whatever she's lost, and I'm also expected to know where she last seen it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will still return home from visiting her Mum with 4 eggs that are within 48 hours of their use by date, because “her Mum won’t use them”.

The line 'fancy dress' should never be used as a descriptive term for your wife when you're on the way out the door. Reminds me of a work night out when I publicly complimented a female colleague on her "costume". Christ knows why I said that instead of outfit. She was furious. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Any time we used to visit the wife's parents, we'd get laden with assorted tins, packets, and boxes of food to take away with us, like we were refugees from the local soup kitchen. I found it a bit offensive, but I bit my tongue as the wife told me "it's a Jewish thing". Thinking back to the jars of gefilte fish, out-of-date matzo mix, and bulk-buy Ramen noodles, I think it was more of a "we're running out of space in the pantry and the bins are full" thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 She's been on a FB video call to a friend in England for over 2 hours, and I can hear her from upstairs, with all the doors shut. I've tried pulling her up for talking too loud the other night, but I get accused of trying to belittle her. She's not the one that's up at 5.30am and can't get to sleep for someone talking too fucking loud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
