Thread: What doesn't your wife get?

Here's the place to put down all the things your wife, girlfriend or partner just does not get(understand)

It can be about you, razors, your razors, bad habits, anything etc

I'll start:

The simple pleasure of sitting on the throne uninterupted for half an hour first thing in the morning with my favourite magazine

Have fun,

Mine doesn't understand me when I ask her to reapeat herself.

For example, I'll hear, "Mumble mutter yada yada the kitchen table".

I'll say something like, "I beg your pardon"? to which she'll inevitably repy, "kitchen table ... THE KITCHEN TABLE! What's wrong with your hearing.

I have a great wife! She understands me better than I understand myself most times. She has quit trying to figure out my hobbies and just let's me play.

My wife doesn't understand that while I don't "need" any more razors, soap, cream, hones, after-shave - I simply want more- And by god, I'll have it!!

I get that all the time. And next I either get yelled at or talked to like an idiot. I've tried telling her to just get my attention first, and then tell me what she needs to tell me. The other day I was at the doctor because my ears felt very stuffed, but they didn't see anything so they had an audiologist check my hearing out and I was told my hearing is perfect. I think it goes without saying(since I'm still alive), but I didn't mention anything about an audiologist to my wife.

I get a similar thing from mine BUT....
she is from the Philipines so it can be way worse, like non-words and such.

exp

W- " Honey, you're drifting all over the table!"

Me- " What honey?"

W- " You're drifting!"

Me- " What the hell are you talking about?"

W- "YOU'RE DRIFTING ON THE TABLE!!!!"
Me- " Uhh..."

W- " YOUR CUP IS DRIFTING ALL OVER THE GODDAMN PLACE!!!"

Me- " ? My cup is drifting on the table?"

W- " YOU JUST MAKE A MESS ALL THE TIME, I TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR SPILLING AND YOU JUST STAND THERE LIKE A STUPID SHIT AND GET THE TABLE ALL WET!!"
Me- " Do you mean DRIPPING honey?"

W- "Maybe."

Hey go check out my new razor aquisitions in "razor restoration"

My God are they all like that... I thought it was just mine. Actually after 26 years I don't listen too closely.

my wife doesn't understand what a sense of urgency is. she tells me she'll be ready in 20 minutes or to meet her for lunch somewhere at this time and its always a half hour later. but I have learned to be nice about it. if any of your wifes are like this, just tell them " I cant figure out why your slow. It must be the lead in your ass or the shit in your brains." you will either be on your second marriage (like me), or will be on time for everything.

It's a conspiracy. They make you tune out or mumble stuff on purpose, so they can slip stuff by you like that $2000 dress or the fur coat or that weekend visiting her parents. You can do the same by talking about your razors until she starts tuning out and you slip that 7-day Robert Williams set by her
