Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love my wife and love being married to her and I haven’t forgotten just how truly bad being married to the wrong person is. Some of the things she does drives me fucking crazy but none of it is even close to making me miserable like I was with my ex-wife and making me want to be single again. My wife is beautiful and considerate but she just has her way of doing things that I learned not to do via some very strict authoritarian parents, it doesn’t make her wrong nor does it make me right, it just is what it is.
I realized a few more things while washing the 1/4 scale model of Mt Everest made from dirty dishes, apparently Cajun shrimp and pasta requires using 3 pans, 2 huge pots, the majority of the baking utensils. I swear this woman could make cereal for breakfast and somehow manage to use every dish in every cabinet.
Places wine glass on the off white countertop without rinsing the glass or the base. Meaning I have to scrub the shit out of the countertop to get the “purple ring of aggravation” off…….then I get snapped at because I’m using the scrubber that we use to wash the dishes with on the counter. THEN I have to scrub the inside of a wine glass to get the purple epoxy that was once wine out of the bottom of a glass that my hands don’t fit into.
Thinks the sink is an extension of the garbage can, gets mad at me when I use the scrubber to clean it prior to doing dishes yet thinks it’s ok and more hygienic to wash dishes in a disgustingly dirty sink. WHAT?!?!
“Recycles” the plastic base that the raw chicken comes in by leaving it full of water in the sink to soak. (See above sink/garbage can combo). This one truly sets me off and I will explode at her for it because I have to get out the bleach “find every cut you’ve ever had on your hand” cleaner to sanitize the sink before doing anything. People around Elgin/Streamwood talk about hearing a random loud boom……that’s the sound of my head exploding when she does that.
She has an absolute mental block when it comes to learning anything from me and has said “I can’t learn anything from you” and will take a class to learn something that I’m a legit expert on and have taught classes in. I told her I would teach her to box, learn basic judo, throws, arm bars, pressure points and a few other self defense tactics just because it’s a good thing to know. I’ve taught HUNDREDS of self defense courses specifically for women and I’ve been boxing and/or studying several styles of martial arts since I was 6. She doesn’t want to learn from me and says she can’t.
Firearms in the house, I want her to learn basic safety and go shooting with me, she doesn’t want to learn from me but she will go to a basic firearms class if I go with her and I have to pay for it. At this rate my 4 year old will have his FOID and CCW before she even touches one of my weapons.
I RARELY lose things and ALWAYS put things back where they belong, thereby making it impossible to lose things if they’re where they’re supposed to be. When I do lose something it’s because my wife decided to move it to a more logical place. You know like putting the screwdrivers, pliers and often used light tools in the junk drawer in a bucket and putting the bucket under a pile of towels and behind an organizer in her bathroom. Makes perfect sense right?
