3. Footrubs. Make the wife give you every day and within a week you'll be single again.

These tips are coming from a relationship guru who ended up buying the spouse an 85" tv a week ago as an apology for being a raving bitch. He wanted to work for money, I wanted to blow up a wall so naturally since it was a friday and all, I felt like he destroyed my life with his phone conferences and fucked off to the cabin for the day.

I know... I should publish books on the topic.

When I have things that require attention that can actually be handled early, I do wake up around 4am sometimes. Absolutely zero time for naps considering I'm doing everything I usually do plus a lot of the household stuff because the wife is due within a week or so. Besides, I'm an ON OFF kind of person.

About footrubs, I've actually been giving her some because they're all swollen from the pregnancy.

To be honest, we're not like having major fights or anything it just seems like everything is getting under her skin with the trifecta of fuckery.

Typically, we actually get along quite well though. We've been married for 5 years this year and been together for over 12. I've worked from home since I've owned my own businesses going back to around when we got married but before the first kid she worked full time and now with the baby she was working part time.

Obviously with corona she was home for a couple of months too but now that shes in the home stretch shes home for at least the next 4 months.

I think things will be easier and less tense once we have the baby and she is more mobile and less agitated about everything lol.

My answer was meant as a joke, sorry about the execution.

You're doing very well on your own but if the wife flips, before shouting back at her, know I'm here to shout at.

We seem to get along pretty easily, though. I thought it was - at least in part - because I traveled all the time, but I haven't been on the road for nearly a year and it's still pretty much the same. We even went though a renovation during the lockdown - 6 week project turned into 5+ mos.

Lucked out, I guess.

Hi, Lups!

People like you .... I wish you both have bad hair at least.

Good seeing you around, old friend.i tried answering you previously but I was in my zen forest with bad reception.

[Hawkeye]

Man, I had heard rumors of this hitting relationships hard but seem to be doing alright myself. Everything is pretty normal but we also aren't as locked down as a lot of others are. Did about 2 months of work from home before we came back into the office and didn't really have any issues thankfully.

[UncleWede]

We're getting the 80s hair band back together Lups ? Dang, I just shaved, even my back


Wait, this is confessions, right???

Finding my shortcomings is easy. Most of those also end up being stories our kids will share with their kids when explaining what not to do.

But seriously, I could hot wax his face tonight after he falls asleep. He can buy an AR tomorrow and I'd just figure out a way to build a car from what ever lands in my yard.

So the but:

You know how ridiculously bad people like you with real problem solving and writing abilities make us whiners like me look like? Fuck you too.



Good seeing you around, old friend. I've missed you!

Yeah, I was meaning to send you an email for a while now to make sure everything was ok since you weren't posting and I failed on that front. Mea culpa. Hope to see you posting more, the banter is always fun!

An Alfa would be one thing yes, but if you really want to be annoyed, I'd select a product from JLR. Electrical gremlins are especially prevalent, but could be mechanical too - the surprise is all part of the spice of ownership. And yet, I do like both Jag and LR's. In spite of their many shortcomings.

Nope. You poor soul. Is this your first, or have you forgotten?

Post partum is at least as bad as pregnancy. That's when all the leftover chemicals and what not come out to play. And they fight dirty. And its worse, because you are sitting there thinking that since the baby is out, you should have the woman you knew back.

This crap lasts for at least 6 months, if not a year. I think it is exacerbated by the sleepless nights in some fairness to the woman. But yeah...chemicals dude...makes them not themselves for a post partum stretch.

Wait...you shaved your back?? Did you at least donate the hair? You could have provided wigs to many deserving individuals.

If you didn't (you inconsiderate cretin, you), then here's a link for you to consider next time, yes?

Yeah, the companies here, none of them want the guys back in the offices again. The guys got raises for staying at home even. The attitude is that they're not going back. Seriously.

If that happens, then from a complete noob investor to a seasoned investor, I have the following question for you:

Is there a way to "short" Finland? Like, as a nation?


Because if what you say is representative of how other women are feeling, I'm forecasting a sudden shortage of engineers and a corresponding increase in incarcerated women serving murder sentences...

Maybe I should call the tire shop now and place an order for some Hakkapeliittas to make sure I'm first in line for what should be some reduced production.

Thank you very much, the thigh rubber family did LR's for the first 7 years we knew them. The thigh rubber is a rally bloke, even in his sixties can beat me on any surface. Not even close. They combined have enough mechanical skills to drive an alfa to a garage near by, and sadly that's beating us by a wide margin.

Yeah, the body might bounce back in a week or 5 years, hormones will even out but neither of the parents will be the same. Not the wife, not the hubby. It is ridiculous to think the person you knew before it all would return.

I'm more worried about msft moving back in to my city.

We have this weird justice system where I can go and do some mild murdering and be out of jail before I hit 43 (5 years) but I'll be walking out of jail with a cow petting profession or a doctorate of something.

I do believe Canada is basically doing the same as we have when it comes to covid but also when it comes to the immigration policies the us is barking about. I do believe your prisons will be as empty as ours. We here in the north seem to make people productive again.

[ragingpanda]

I want to go through life without ever getting divorced. So my plan is to never get married lol.

[floridaorange]

Marriage is doing great - celebrating 11 yrs in Nov.

Here's a tip - know who you are - know what you like - know what works well with you - know what doesn't. Expect your mate to see things differently from you and appreciate it, that is the POINT!

[upstatedoc]

Lups I didn't read your whole diatribe. Are you single?

Aside from OPs hearttaking story I must admit that some parts had brought me to giggle a bit and I wont anger you Anna.
Wifey and me have had 7th marriage anniversary this July, this was long past COV19 start and even some of you would not believe that, this had not affected us at all. In my relationships I had never spent so much time with someone as close as now together, but we both start to miss the other a bit in that second when the front door closes. Into Nov this year we would have our 13th year as couple and I was never as happy as now into my life to have someone like her.
Good luck to all of you, that your partnerships however would survive this.

[Nachbar]

Wow these stories in here
I just learnt, I have a boring life. Married 5 years and two little kids. Marriage goes great. I even think better, than before.

My marriage is going fine but I would like to learn a strategy to make my wife want to give me footrubs

I'd suggest the same way we teach you to give them. Patience and rewarding good conduct. Also shower occasionally and you'll be more likely to score.

That good conduct thing might be a little hard to manage.

There is one thing, though. Quarantine has triggered some really bad insomnia in me. She, on the other hand, rolls right over and falls asleep. It really irritates me so i find subtle ways to wake her up by bouncing the bed, making noises, turning on the light, etc.

This morning I’m reading BPost in bed and she wakes up, stretches, smiles at me lovingly and said “i had the most interesting dream...”

I said “oh yeah, hunny? What was it?”

“I dreamed that i murdered a man who kept trying to wake me up”

[Lups]

The man is shaving. I'm not getting my hopes up just yet, the last time he did that, he gave himself the Lemmy Kilmister moustache. I cried that day.
