Classic from the Mrs!

[RobbieKB]

Indeed. It transpired that she wanted to go out on Sunday, but presumably wanted to give me the illusion of choice and had a 50/50 chance of it looking like I was in control.

Just one of those things...

On holiday in Sicily, we'd been on a day trip out to a nearby city and had spent a few hours wondering around the shopping mall....

Wandering. Wondering is thinking about something.

You calling his wife thoughtless...?

It like when mine asks "Do you want to go to the supermarket?"

The answer is of course "No"

Does it all the time asks a question when it should be a request or a demand. "Do you want to go the the toilet?" (to the kids that one - I'm pretty well toilet trained nowadays). They are 3 and 4, make them go to the loo before this 2 hour car journey. If you want me to go to the supermarket tell me we need milk.

Perhaps my fault for being indirect, but whenever I ask my wife "Would you like a drink?", she will reply "Yes", and leave it at that, meaning that I then have to ask "What would you like to drink?"

Depends on what she wants.

Tell me you aren't all bleating about the terrible way your wives phrase questions?

Firstly - try TALKING to your wives.
Secondly, try NOT WHINING about such little things if you love her, and she loves you.

(Unless it's funny - but none of these are 'classics', are they?)

[WinstonWolf]

Yes.
Yes.

I was bleating about the terrible way my wife responds to questions.

But that's not so easy for you to get indignant about, is it?

I'm not indignant - I just feel sorry for anyone stuck in a relationship who feels so miserable/powerless that they have to look for sympathy from random Internet people.

Please - talk to her about it (nicely), or leave.

That is an award-winning sense of humour failure.

'My wife asks me if I want to go to the supermarket when really we need to go'.

'My wife responds to closed questions with a yes or no'.

Oh, yes, I get it now - 'coffee meet keyboard!' 'All snakes with tits', 'Women are soooo stupid'.


Better?

I work with people like that "do you have the time?" response "yes".

You're not alone, my Mrs won't divulge information without interrogation. We go in to a restaurant she'll tell them we've got a table reserved and every single time without fail they will immediately ask what name, but it never occurs to her volunteer that information at the start
