Theroadlesstravelled Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Owns enough clothes to dress a small African city. Some of it has been in storage for over 5 years but we can’t get rid of them cause she likes them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Organises a "sometime between 12 and 6" boiler service visit for one of the weekdays that she isn't working from home anyway (she has two set WFH days every week). To make matters worse, I waited in all afternoon yesterday (just back onshore, itching for a wander) and the f***ers never turned up at all, giving the classic "sorry, we won't make it" phonecall at 17:55. She now gets all pissy about my request to fit the rescheduled with her being at home, which is the only time when either of us has to be in the house.

When I point out that half of our fitted wardrobe is clogged with clothes I hung in there, when we moved in in 2015, and have never moved since, I get hit with "they've never been used because you never take me out" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Shaker Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Sunday... Mrs S - what are you doing Saturday? Me - Working til 12, football til 5. Why? Mrs - Can you pick me up in Aberdeen just after half 5. Me - Fine. Tuesday... Mrs S - You still good to pick me up at 5? Me - I'm busy til 5, as I said. I can be there for half 5 at the earliest. Mrs S - Oh. Wednesday... Mrs S - You still busy until 5 on Saturday? Me - Yes. Mrs S - [No audible reply, but I can hear the body language without even looking up] And so this week-long dance goes on. An attempt to do me out of a few horizontal hours in front of the TV will continue, the unsaid line from her being that as I'm not actually at a game and instead sat watching Stelling or updating scores on a laptop, I'm not actually busy. This will no doubt receive another going over on Friday, almost certainly with no reference to the first episode of the series as it's been stricken from her memory entirely. Naturally, I will arrive at whatever kip she's drinking in on Saturday only to find she's not fucking ready anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last few weeks we've been in a cycle of her moaning because I'm not helping with the wedding planning, me offering to help with the wedding planning and her refusing because whatever job she gave me I wouldn't do it right.

Jimmy Shaker Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I’ve to pick her up on the way to something we’re both going to after whatever event she’s at in the afternoon, unfortunately. Half five will leave plenty o’ time to get to it, however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Everything bought for the bairns Christmas about 3 weeks ago. Now the WhatsApps begin. "Oh do you think she would like this meaningless piece of cheap shite? What about this I found on ExtremeCouponing? I think she might like this (something she stopped liking 3 years ago)" Phone switched to silent and put in the drawer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Another hour of Whatsapp. "Oh the vrigin box isnt working again" "Cant get this channel, cant get that channel" "Whats wrong with it?" "Tell me what to do" A whole string of fucking messages. Me: 1 second google, Virgin Media major outage in UK. Send her the screenshot. "Oh, what should I do then" Phone off again, back in the drawer. Fucking hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she says "what should I do then" just give her a list of pointless things to try, anything that wastes her time. She'll eventually stop coming to you for assistance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did consider asking her to try putting it in the fridge as it was likely to be overheating but she probably fucking would have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been feeling like shit for a few days now. Either a stinking cold or some kind of bug. She has asked me on at least 4 or 5 occasions whats wrong with me, to which I've replied that I'm not feeling great. This is apparently the incorrect answer as I know that the next time I give any outward indication that i'm not firing on all cylinders, I'll be asked whats wrong with me again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
