Women -vs- Men!
 

My husband actually complains because I ask him what he wants to eat? He says " We eat the same stuff all the time just pick something!" Well than it ticks me off cuase hes such a damn picky eater that if I cook something theres a chance he wont it so we all drive each other nuts!!!

LOL, that's funny......... I get that sometimes too. Then if I say something like, "well, we're having chicken" then he will roll his eyes or say, "anything but that"........... Sheesh.

I love that one too when I ask what do you want for dinner and he says I dont care you pick and then I pick a he gripes about it I could just strangle him for that one! I am just going to start cooking enough for me to eat and then he can eat whatever he wants!

OH! Thought of another one........ He says it drives him nuts that when I'm involved in a movie, say like on Lifetime, etc etc, that noone can talk in the room. He says that if he's watching Football, boxing, etc, and trying to listen, that it doesn't stop me from yakking. I disagree. I respect his tv time too, but he thinks I don't. But he's right on about me wanting quiet. Don't you hate that if your engrossed in a movie, and he picks up the phone and starts having a lengthy phone conversation when your trying to watch tv? UGH!

Are we married to the same man??? He horseplys with the kids when Im trying to watch a good movie (which I am not able to hardly do) but than whines if I say a word or talks to the kids during his t.v. time.. I am now at the point where I tell him if you dont like it go upstairs to the full cable tv upstiars.. Our kids have their own apt upstairs without the kitchen. theres x-box, tv, cable, couch..you name it he can just go up there!!!

My faults (so he says lol):

1. I harp when I get upset: I have a very bad tendency to drag on arguments. :eek: But recently I have gotten much better at not doing that because I recognize it, tell myself to shut up or just get to the point and express why I am upset instead of bringing up everything under the sun. :rolleyes:

2. Unforgiving to his family: Due to cultural differences, I had (still do) a lot of 'airs' about who is right and who is wrong and why. (of course I was always right :p ). However, just like number one, I recognize this tendency and work on CHOOSING to not let that stuff affect me. :)

3. Being emotional: Yeah so the monthly comes around and I am little more sensitive to crap but who isn't??? Are you with me ladies??? Cause there aint no amount of Midol changing that!

(Basically I have a running theme of this being a New Year, so I am living a heathier emotional state of mind and spirit. Hard work but worth it. :) Those who know my situation a little better can appreciate that! Thanks again to you all for being my rock last year!)

I'm laughing here, hard!!!!!!

I get told that I take things around the block and not across the street. Sometimes, he will make it a point to go sit-down, and giving me one of his looks like "I know this is going to take a while".....Makes me mad sometimes, but also at times makes me laugh.

I do tell him that at least I don't repeat a story that I already know about, 10 times. He will say something he done with a buddy or something, and act like it is the first time he's told me...........LOL Look, I feel like I was there with you, since you've managed to tell me that same story at least 10 times! geez!

:eyetearss :eyetearss :eyetearss Holy Moly so much alike....My husband is Jeff how about yours?? He tells me these stories all the time and im thinking damn, i have heard this like 20 times and he'll say what! You dont like my story thats not nice so than AGAIN I have to explain I have heard this like 20 times i feel like I was there! :eyetearss :eyetearss

3. Being emotional: Yeah so the monthly comes around and I am little more sensitive to crap but who isn't??? Are you with me ladies??? Cause there aint no amount of Midol changing that!


I know exactly what you mean I get really emotional at that time the other day I wanted some ice cream and I asked if he would go with me to get some and he said that no we really didnt need any bc it was 9:30 at night and we were getting ready to go to bed so what do I do start bawling bc I thought by that he meant that I didnt need any ice cream bc I was fat!! He just looked at me turned the tv off and said GO TO BED!

:lol tears I swear it is a man's disease... They all do it. From my man, to my father, even to a male co-worker. Men cannot help themsleves... :lol tears

Ooooooo that is just wrong! :eek: I feel you sister! :thumbup: I get emotional cravings too.. and yeah we do take things out of context but its not intentional, we cannot help it. :( lol

Maybe we should start a PMS thread that we bond in and offer support whenever "that time of the month" is happening...

this thread and many others prove my points that i'm about to make.

You ladies talk and complain wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much. Hahahaha


you notice why we don't say much here? because its not that big of a deal. So what if the Toilet paper is out. We will change it when we need it again. Why make such a bid issue out of it and have th arguement drag on for days even.
so what if we drink from the carton. its not like you haven't swapped spit with us.

And its true about tv time. you ladies interrupt when we watch games and what not. We don't expect you to watch it with us but you expect us to watch romance movies with you guys.


thats why Men are better then women. We don't sweat the small little things in life.


sorry if it doesn't make too much sense...i have to get back to work...
playing turbotanks.com atari classic.

wooohoooo.

That's another thing that irks me....Men complaining because we complain that they don't do ANYTHING but whine, moan and play those stupid video games...see up top hes playing games on the computer...... ;) ;)

sorry but its call working. I'm getting paid to do things and so it happens i'm gettign paid to play this game. don't get your panties in a bunch please.
:D :D :D :D


off to lunch....man what a hard day at the job...i need to go home and play some games.

Well most men dont have that as a job so your off the hook but I wish my husband would get paid to do it because than hed make so much money I wouldnt have to work!! :mad:

La---------------------------La, la, La, Blah, Blah, Man:

Thank you so much for your imput, we do like to hear male responses. However....... You men complain that we watch "chic-flicks", "romance movies", etc etc.......But, how many times have I heard from other women that regardless of how you complain, half the time you sit there and moan about it, BUT WATCH IT WITH US!!!!!! Yeah, I'm right!!!!!!!! It's true!

Not doing the toilet-paper-roll-changing, and the drinking-from-the-carton-thing, is just two words: PIGGY-LAZINESS.

Men expect for us to just do this and do that, including up to going to get all lovey-dovey when the need hits.......like everyday of the week if it were left up the male specimens of the world. We women cannot downshift that fast. We need love, attention, and occassional compliments to let us know that we are needed, other than being your brood mare/laundry doing/dish washing/supper cooking/treating you like a 2 year old when your sick/making the bed daily, just overall CARING for you in general. What do we get in return? We get the "when's dinner, what are we having for dinner, where is this? where is that? Wanna go get "nekkid" (trying to keep it low-key), why didn't you do this? why didn't you do that"....Shall I go on? Naa, I think I covered most of my bases.........

*slapping myself on the back with glee here!* What do you say ladies, am I right?????

Oh he would say without a doubt, that I'm WAY too Anal, everything in it's place, oraganized, everything planned, If I say I'm gonna do something I do it,, UNLIKE him!

*highfive* :eyetearss :eyetearss you go girl!!

Everyone that has a job I'm sure have been known to goof off here and there, so there's nothing wrong with that, to an extent.......
But, what is it with men and video games???? I don't get it. Mine plays too, and he's 38! I guess it's a second childhood or something......

My husband says its fun but the big thing is it's a stress reliever..yeah right!! It's just so they can sit in their little world while us women slave away to make their lives easier!!

High-Fiving Everyone in here!!! Right on! On a different note...... I got my Gabby about a month ago....... And he's carrying on that we didn't need her, he's not getting attached, etc etc etc etc........What a big dork.....He's attached to her already. Doesn't take care of her....never offers to fill her water bowls, give her treats, etc.....But will lay claim when someone goes on and on about how pretty she is, etc etc, then he's all about being her owner. *rolling eyes here* He's been calling her "Roger"......Have no idea why, other than I started yelling at him not to call her that, so he does it now just to aggravate me. Comes home from work and says "Hi Roger"..... There's not a Roger that either of us know, but he thinks it's funny. But see, I laughed the first time he said it, and he took my laugh, and ran with it. The first time, it's like ha-ha. Then you start getting mad, and they agg you on and the madder you get......

Can you relate here? They do the STUPIDEST things that they think are so hilarious, when you know they are being the biggest idiots.

Rhonda, nothing wrong with wanting things in proper order at all. What would he prefer, cleanliness, or a house looking like a complete dump?

Oh I know, from what I have learned his Ex-wife was messy, laundry piled high, etc,, so I mention that every now and then,,, Which would you prefer? He always picks my way. :D

Ewwwww, I have been in very close-friends of mine homes, that are without a doubt, screaming my name to come inside and clean. I cannot for the life of me understand how people can live like they run a garbage dump, but people do.......

I'm not a perfectionist by any means, but jeez, it sure is nice to go home to a nice, cleaned-up homey atmosphere!

Which, of course, I take complete 110% credit for maintaining! *L*

BTW, I love every single picture of your sweetie doggies!!!!!!! I looked at all in this thread, and I wanted to mention that! I will get Gabby on here within the next week or so for sure!

my boyfriends complaints would be

1-I don't let go of anything. If it tweaks a nerve I bring it up and up over and over agian.

2-I don't make enough home made meals. (I'm learning to cook and am doing a really good job at it.) so far he loves it.

3-He hardly ever see's me due to work circumstances.

4-when I'm sick, I don't like to be touched when all he does is want to help.

5- I don't clean up after myself (dishes and household wise) as much as I should. (I've been improving on this in my defense.)

6-I always wear my hair up.

7-I never know what to make for dinner.

8-My insecurities.

9-He hates my job.

10-I always try to kiss him or hug him when I say something I know will get on his nerves.

and last but not least. but by far the worst:

I question his motives.

I can relate with some of what you said.......

I feel bad now because it seems as though I'm bashing him, and I'm really not trying to sound that way! Here I post on how we met on the other thread, and I go on about things in this one! LOL

All in all, I love my husband dearly, I really do........He's my best friend in the world, and I wouldn't want to live without him, ever. (notice I didn't say "couldn't"...*L*) He just gets on my nerves a lot. But like someone else said in the other thread...."concentrate on the good points"..... *sigh*

I guess after 17 years together, one can blow steam about the other person on some points, right? Right!
