I'm relatively new at the whole marriage thing, and I love my wife dearly. But there are a few things that have really started to irk me.

- Without being asked, she washes, dries and folds my laundry, and brings it upstairs to the bedroom. But she doesn't put the clean laundry away.

- Over the holidays, she made five different batches of cookies. But she didn't make my favorite kind.

- Before she leaves for work at 6:30 a.m., she always takes time to kiss me and tell me how much she loves me. But doing so wakes me up from my sleep, every time.

- She doesn't always instantly know where I have misplaced my cell phone or glasses, meaning I have to wait for the item while she tries to find where it may be.

- We both love books, and are voracious readers. Sometimes she'll have upward of four or five books out that she intends to read! But rather than reading all of them promptly, the books sit on the coffee table, her desk or her nightstand when instead they should be properly filed away in our bookcases, like all books not currently being read.

- On the weekends, she brings me breakfast in bed, consisting of all sorts of goodies -- pancakes, donuts, etc. But not once has she brought me bacon.

- After placing dirty dishes in the dishwasher, running the dishwasher, and emptying the dishwasher, she'll leave some dishes or glasses out for me to put away because they are stored in higher shelves she can't reach on her own. But that's why I bought her a step stool.

    She sounds like an amazing woman. You need to really look at these "problems" and realize she is doing everything right (except maybe the bacon part). Consider yourself lucky.

    Your wife sounds a lot like my husband.

    I share your misery, sir.

    She'd be more amazing if she cleared off ALL the snow from my car, instead of just most of it. :-/

    Thank you. Hopefully our spouses realize the errors of their ways one day, and get their acts together.

    I'm getting tired of having to add extra jalapenos to my serving of the casserole she cooked because she was worried cooking the casserole with the extra jalapenos would make it too spicy for her.

    Oh, GOD. You want to bring THAT up? I was so embarrassed wearing that Batman onesie over to my in-laws for Christmas morning. I mean, the cape was grey! It should be black!

    Good thing that happened after we were already married...otherwise they probably would have pulled me aside and said "how can you marry a man that doesn't even wear the right colored cape!"

    I'm relatively new at the whole marriage thing, and I love my wife dearly. But there are a few things that have really started to irk me.

    - Without being asked, she washes, dries and folds my laundry, and brings it upstairs to the bedroom. But she doesn't put the clean laundry away.

    - Over the holidays, she made five different batches of cookies. But she didn't make my favorite kind.

    - Before she leaves for work at 6:30 a.m., she always takes time to kiss me and tell me how much she loves me. But doing so wakes me up from my sleep, every time.

    - She doesn't always instantly know where I have misplaced my cell phone or glasses, meaning I have to wait for the item while she tries to find where it may be.

    - We both love books, and are voracious readers. Sometimes she'll have upward of four or five books out that she intends to read! But rather than reading all of them promptly, the books sit on the coffee table, her desk or her nightstand when instead they should be properly filed away in our bookcases, like all books not currently being read.

    - On the weekends, she brings me breakfast in bed, consisting of all sorts of goodies -- pancakes, donuts, etc. But not once has she brought me bacon.

    - After placing dirty dishes in the dishwasher, running the dishwasher, and emptying the dishwasher, she'll leave some dishes or glasses out for me to put away because they are stored in higher shelves she can't reach on her own. But that's why I bought her a step stool.

    Pfft...thats all crazy talk. Next thing you'll tell us she loves Pearl Jam and rock shows. And Beer. If she loves beer, its all over.

    I would respond with a "that's what she said" but I don't like the new forum

    What you say is true Jonny...I love Pearl Jam, rock shows and beer.
    I try to make sure our fridge is stocked with a variety of yummy beer. Kw particularly likes Irish Stouts...His favorite is Murphy's, but the last couple of times I went on a beer run, the store only had Guinness..so that's what I got instead. I'm not sure how he's been able to put up with me for this long... :P
