Trigger Mike Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I was in our room reading and my wife was talking to me and suddenly ran real fast into the bathroom and then came out again. I asked what happened, to which she replied, “I went to do what you already did, take the laundry basket to the laundry room”. it’s rare for me to catch a chore ahead of her. THEN it got better, she went into the laundry room to load the washing machine and came out and said “thank you “ because I had also started a load of laundry in the machine. maybe she will keep me until this afternoon or later.

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 One of the hardest things to learn when first married. There is no such thing as women's work or men's work. Stuff just needs to get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 The most awesome words I heard from my wife almost daily for 51 years were, "I love you." I was always a bit startled by that because, as well as I got to know her in over a half century, I never understood why she loved me. My God how I miss her.

Mine would have yelled at me for not sorting the clothes correctly, washing on the wrong temp and setting it on the wrong cycle. I have no idea how she does all that and will never try to take it away from her. I do run the dishwasher from time to time and even then she says I load it wrong. I tell her it is because she is left handed and she loads it like a left hander while I load it as a right hander. LOL TM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 30 years ago we were going to a State "HOG" rally on the Harley. That morning Ellie was crampy and didn't want to go and suggested I take our neighbor, Kathy. So I did! No one that knew us would come anywhere near us! You could see people looking and kabitsing (sp). It was kinda funny and not a one mentioned it to Ellie later, although they did ask me later about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that ranks right up there with I don't want anything for our anniversary or Christmas. Let me know how that goes when you don't get her something.

Warden Callaway Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Youngest son texted me this morning. Just family talk. Said his wife is off to Portland to visit her folks out there. He's great with that because he hates Portland and politicaly opposite most everyone out there. So to keep peace, he can't be himself. But home alone, he's the master of his on schedule. But he's burdened with his wife calling him and making sure he has plenty of chores to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
