30 Times People Criticized Their Partners And Had A Price To Pay

I like this one

Shortly after our wedding, my MIL asked us how I liked getting up early to fix his breakfast and pack his lunch. He looked at her and said "mom, she gets up to get ready to go to work. I make my own breakfast and lunch". 28 years so far, and I ended up having a great relationship with MIL until her death.

Similar. First morning after the honeymoon she was up early with me wanting to know what I wanted for breakfast. I told her I wanted her to go back to bed (she was working a late shift) and I wanted cereal. Married 30 years.

that's nice and respectful. sounds like a decent guy.

That's what I'm talking about.

It's so nice having stories like this to balance out the horrible stories about controlling and abusive partners. Actually, it's a shame they're not all like this.

Exactly as it should be! I have friends on maternity leave who have to ask their partner for money to buy things. Marriage is a partnership & an agreement to share

My hubby has always been like this

Yeah, I have met those married couples who the husband has his money and the wife hers - disgusting and I can foresee divorce in their forecast.

I don't think this post relates to the title of the article very well.

Tbh I wouldn't either of I were her

He would've been wearing it halfway through his "chili lecture"

He told me his mother's meatloaf was better. I said fine, I don't really like to make it. We've been married for 26 years.

My husband requested white chicken chili. I found a recipe and made it, but he said it was too watery. So, I tried again, but reduced the liquid content. Again, he said it was too watery. I tried until there was almost no liquid content in it and then he complained that it was "too dry but also still watery". I asked how could it be dry and watery at the same time and he tried to explain, poorly, but I finally realized that the word he was looking for was not watery, it was bland. I told him I wasn't trying to make new foods for him until he made an effort to improve his vocabulary, but he's sticking to his guns calling bland foods watery, so I'm not trying any new recipes unless it's something I want to try.

Words hurt especially when it’s from someone you love.

Last one up makes the bed!

The bigger question is: Why make the bed at all? So it'll look nice while you're at work? WTF is the point of that?

Someone on here once asked: People make their beds? Why? It's not that someone comes in and double-checks. He had me thinking. Why bother?

I've never really understood making the bed in the morning? I just get up, then sort it out as I want it when I go to bed in the evening.

tell that to my hubby please!

lol. My husband now does all the laundry for the same reason. He tried telling me all the ways I was doing it wrong. I agreed wholeheartedly and left him to it. We are happily married 12 years and counting but that wasn't one of his brighter moments.

Note to future self: when I get married, do laundry wrong so that this happens and I don’t have to do laundry!

Lol my hubby is forever stuck vacuuming now because he hovers over ANYBODY that tries and makes it impossible to move around. My father is stuck doing the dishes because he won't let anyone in the kitchen for more than a couple minutes without asking them to move so here can make something to eat (minimum 8 times a day). My daughter goes through 3 outfits a day and is stuck with laundry detail because of it. Sometimes a simple thank you is the best approach if you don't want to be stuck doing something for yourself every time.

Some people are particular and that's OK, especially of they are willing to do it themselves. Some people are better at doing certain tasks. Husband makes a mean enchilada and pizza, I make the best steaks and soups. I do the business paperwork, he does the car repair. We could easily do both because we both have the skills, but whomever hates the task more doesn't have to do it. Together around 20 years.

Lol. 25 years ago, I told my then bf now husband of 30 years; due to some OCD, if you won't do the laundry my way, don't do it. To this day, I still do the laundry and peace reigns.

Nowadays, I think a lot of us would say, "Well, if it's that important to you, dear, you had better do it yourself."

The military culture part here shouldn't be overlooked... If he's grown up in a military family and then is a marine --- he simply doesn't know the "outside world". In the real world it's not clear how to advance (working hard in an office? Read all the BP articles about the disasters and incompetent managers! How hard, how successful, how long? Once promotes, do you actually get more status versus your colleagues? etc) --- in the military it's exactly proscribed how to reach every grade (how long to wait, what salary raise, what exact criteria to fulfil, how to apply), and upon reaching you get exactly the increase in status you expected (like those who were your equals should and will salute you whenever you pass; and your military family/friends all know exactly what your new rank entails. A world of clarity --- with the USMC having a bizarrely strong focus on the exactly 'right' way of maintaing/folding/organising all clothes and bed materials!! So in his world, he makes a lot of sense and actually helpful... [Obviously, the controlling and career-blocking part, no justification nor reason for that, that's just his character.]

I'd tell him he's lucky I haven't killed him with the detergent and bleach.

He wanted a slave and complete adherence to him as an over Lord. You did the right thing.

Married in 1971, got the same, lasted two years. When I left, in a big hurry I might add, more like escape, I messed up all his clothing in the drawers just to feel good.

This is the reason we should all be really, really glad that divorce is now acceptable, because back in the day, women had no freedom and no escape.
