Re: Does this sound like your wife?

True confession:

There is nothing like a passive-aggressive, unannounced laundry strike that is noticed the morning before school/work to solve that problem. Teens (at the time) involved.

I only had to do it once.

Somewhere out there are two future spouses of said teens who don't know how grateful they should be .

Re: Does this sound like your wife?

It's really a two-way street, isn't it ?

We both have our jobs around the house. I maintain her car and do all of the home maintenance/repairs ; as well as 90% of the cooking. Any woman who did not take care of the laundry would suddenly discover that I was no longer interested in her needs.

Woman: "What are we having for dinner tonight ?"

Me: "I've already eaten. Cook whatever you like".

Woman: "My car won't start"

Me: "I've already looked at it. I don't know how to fix it. Better call a mechanic."

Back in the day when I had a room-mate, I expected nothing from him and he expected nothing from me.

If a woman wants to act like we are room-mates, then so be it. But, ultimately she will begin to call upon my physical strength, and my skill sets. When that happens, is when a division of labor quite naturally follows. As in: "Honey, move the refrigerator so I can clean under it".

Exactly!

If Mr Glanny's dirty clothes don't go in the laundry basket then they don't get washed, simples!

If she can not shovel the snow out from around her own car, then it does not get shoveled. Simples !

If she can not jump start her own car, which has a dead battery, on a freezing cold morning, then it does not get jump started. Simples !

If she wishes to be a totally independent person, then so be it, but be careful of what you wish for. Simples !
