I agree with you completely and aim to compromise constantly, but her idea of compromise is not to engage with her re my feelings about anything and just accept her point of view and her inconsiderate actions re everything, so there is no compromise on her part is my point. I can’t express my...
Very fair! Interesting. I do things like make her tea, turn on the porch light, put the key in the lock for her, (so she doesn’t have to rummage around in her bag) make a hot water bottle, light a fire, put on the heating, light the room how she prefers, get her a dressing gown etc etc, she...
It’s both haha
AMEX ‘is’ expensive for the merchants they bring the most value to. Their pricing is very varied and yet very fair, depending upon what customers they bring to the table, the frequency and the atv is understandably different. AMEX is hugely corporate and/or high spending. So for...
Don’t get me wrong, you’re right, it’s not, and I’m def not suggesting that it is, ‘yet!’
…re ‘check again’ I mean, I think a lot of consumers are in the habit of not trying/asking to use their AMEX out of habit in a lot of places that actually accept now. It’s changed enormously in the last...
BINGO!! That is the dream! I’d take that. FYI I agree with everything else you said and think that is exactly it. Neither one of us had much of a ‘conventional’ upbringing unfortunately and so in a frustrating number of basic issues we are polar opposites!
THANK YOU for taking the time. Really appreciate all of that and sounds very much like you have experienced very similar. Nice to know I’m not alone as stupid as it sounds. Drive myself mental sometimes trying to get her to understand my perspective and always convince myself it’s me that’s...
Check again. It’s not as bad as it was. Infact it’s considerably better. Most of the places it’s not accepted I don’t tend to use anyway tbh and it’s only gonna get better and better now as more and more (small) merchants finally cotton on to the fact AMEX is now the cheapest option, has finally...
Oh god!! Don’t go there. I’ve completely given up trying to explain ‘how’ the dishwasher should be loaded so to avoid half of it having to go back in again!! I’m just grateful she loads it at all tbh. (She literally won’t be told ANYTHING! EVER! I sometimes wonder if she thinks I have any sense...
Really appreciate the insight of a woman; thank you! I’m not sure what’s worse, to be as unfathomable as a woman, or as simple as a man, haha …personally I aspire for balance in all things and truly believe that any extreme is, well, extreme.
Yes ‘I’ would. Hopefully that sufficiently corrects...
…said the same to my buddy the other night haha. I would probably get more respect and consideration from a lodger. I’d def get some help with the bills.
After 40yrs on this planet and endless relationships I think I’m finally beginning to realise that I expect too much and can’t keep judging...
She doesn’t shout, she doesn’t swear, but my gosh does she have an INCREDIBLE talent for very eloquently saying and doing all the right/wrong things (always and only ever behind closed doors…spot on!) to infinitely make me feel so needy and demanding re things I think are so basic in any...
Haha, yea, of course ‘the truth’ is definitely what I was referring to and I know just how to record a video of truth haha …I definitely didn’t assume you meant sex, I mean, how shallow would that be!? Truth over sex all day long! Absolutely. No question. Obviously. No competition. Give me the...
You’re not far off. If only it were that simple. (It never is!!) Cause she is ‘capable’ of being so wonderful and making me so happy, everyone else adores her, she makes sure of that, but I’m realising that it’s always on her terms unfortunately and I have my own ideas about what happiness and...
