Not really wanting to start a hugely vitriolic thread, but there’s got to be a few little things that your spouse does that make you throw up your hands and go WTF?
For instance:
My wife complains about me leaving a light on (I’m well trained, but sometimes I forget), but then she leaves the television on all day for the cats!
The car. :mad: :mad: :mad:
My car is a piece of crap, OK? So it’s messy. And he complains about it.
But what does he have in the back seat of HIS 2003 car? That’s right, folks, messy stuff!
I hate that!
I am married to the Queen of the Land Where Nothing Ever Ever Ever Gets Put Away.
And yet I am evil and lazy because my briefcase/backpack gets left in a corner of the family room.
I would have to say: ’ me ’ and then ’ me ’
But I can’t complain 
Mr AFG used to bitch all the time about the house being messy. But he never did anything to help clean up! If I asked him to help, he’s complain about how tired he was. On top of that, I’m the one with the full-time job who has to walk half an hour each way to work every day, but he, at the time, worked only 4 hours a day and his job was literally across the street from our apartment.
That’s one of the things I like about him being gone now, is that at least I only have the mess of one person (well, and a cat, and two lizards and two rats) to clean up.
(the animals may not contribute to the household, but they never gripe at me).
This is about my friend’s husband.
The first Christmas after they were married and had bought a house, I gave them a very nice gift for their home. When the gift was opened, the husband threw a little fit and fumed, “Why does everyone think that just because we’re married, they only have to give us one gift? I’m still a person!”
[ol]
[li]The gift was something they would both enjoy, and it cost more than two individual gifts would have.[/li][li]A couple of months previous, the wife and I had thrown a huge 40th birthday party for the husband, with about 50 guests – and thus 50 individual presents for him.[/li][li]In the years I’d known them, the husband had never purchased a separate gift for me or anyone else. Gifts were always from them as a couple and were obviously purchased by the wife.[/li][li]How unbelievably rude! What a :wally ![/li][/ol]
So, to fit the form . . . Why does my friend’s husband complain about not getting individual gifts when he never gives individual gifts?
