My Mrs won't let me *anywhere near* the whites, mainly because I'm s

Is she sexist?
Of cause not. That's her choice. Or it could be the old mans trick of 'if you never want to do a chore again, do it badly' t at washing and ironing.Is she sexist?

I may be slightly old fashioned, but I never let my wife do physical labour when I'm (likely) better placed to do so. Such stuff is my thing to undertake.
Does she let you undertake some of the women’s chores?Thing is, the equality thing isnt always evenly applied.
Some women think sexism doesnt apply to them telling men what to do or making assumptions that something is a "mans job"
Despite being male I am quite happy to do the hoovering, its just division of labour, but if you ever ask a female to do it you are labelled a sexist pig.
There are few things that physically woman cant do that men can or vice versa, i think men have risen to a lot of the jobs int he past they wouldnt do, my dad can cook Cheese On Toast and thats about it, I can do a roast and am fairly competent, so in a lot of cases some of the traditional jobs women did have been parmed off onto the men but not seeing much going the other way..
I fully support equality, but sometimes, stuff like the retirement age being 5 years lower, no you cant bloody keep that, its equality, like was asked for so you get the good bits hopefully, and lose the ones you have to bring you in line.
I know chaps who get to do all the traditional male jobs and then seem to end up doing all the stuff their wives no longer do.

Ah yes, SWMBO's quite good at telling me things like cars, anything in the garage, anything heavy or anything that involves getting dirty (don't go there!) is 'man's work', yet should I ever suggest she do something because it's 'woman's work', oh my...Some women think sexism doesnt apply to them telling men what to do or making assumptions that something is a "mans job"

I'd just like to find out who it is that I'm supposed to be having an affair with. 
Apparently it's been ongoing for two or three years now. WTF???
Still, it does explain her strange behaviour.
My wife knows that I am more likely to be perving a car than a woman (and as long as she believe's that Apparently it's been ongoing for two or three years now. WTF???

To be fair I think menopause and naproxen and wine are a dangerous cocktail
Naproxen is a fancy anti-inflammatory (same family as ibuprofen). Her mentalness is very unlikely to be related to that, even if combined with wine.Menopause however, could be a major thing. I've seen relationships put through massive strain owing to menopausal related behavioural changes. Has there been any discussion regarding options for HRT (or equivalent)? I can think of a couple of occasions where it has been a genuine relationship saver!

At least with the naproxen you have the satisfaction knowing that she will be well constipated and literally “full ‘o st” for at least the period she takes them for plus a couple of days after coming off them

With the NHS involved in trying to diagnose her shoulder / arm issues, I'm guessing her kidneys will pack up first. t” for at least the period she takes them for plus a couple of days after coming off themEDIT: Or she'll die from a bleed in the stomach.
Edited by g3org3y on Thursday 23 May 10:09
t. Anyway i dont want to have her die. According to her menopause and pmt are both excuses thst men use to justify the s
t we apparently put them through. I carefully used her sisters sudden flare up of temper to ask innocently, "shes that age where the menopause can cause massive emotional highs and lows, so do you think maybe its that?"
Her mother thinks mental illness is just weakness, and my wifes chroic fatigue is just being lazy, so i thought shed be less dismissive of hormal.imbalances, but hey.

Never had too much of this with my wife or current g/f apart from the eating out thing.
Her: Let's go out for dinner.
Me: Where do you want to go?
Her: Anywhere you like.
Me: Indian?
Her: No, don't fancy a curry
Me: Chinese?
Her: No
Me: What about that nice Italian Place?
Her: No
Me: Burgers?
Her: No
Me: Vietnamese?
Her: No
Me: Fast Food? You pick?
Her: No.
Me: Well where then?
Her: Anywhere you like.
Rinse & Repeat
My cunning plan for when I retire is to open a small restaurant called "Anywhere you like"
You'll have to book a table 3 month in advance because it will be full of blokes taking their wifey out for dinner
I thought the solution was to ask her to "guess where I'm taking you to dinner?", and take her to her first choice.Her: Let's go out for dinner.
Me: Where do you want to go?
Her: Anywhere you like.
Me: Indian?
Her: No, don't fancy a curry

You dont end up with an MV6 3.2 petrol omega
Anyway, wife has a Juke. She needs an auto,
It must be a straight swap, or lower priced. Juke value £5.5 k ish
It needs to have 5 doors, but slightly smaller thsn the juke.
It needs to be cool. And not french.
So not a vauxhall. Or a renault.
Sounds easy right.
Mileage is an issue. Not sure why. She only does 5k a year but anything over 60k is frowned upon.
Has to be petrol.
We had arranged to go and see an old A class A200 turbo and a A200 non turbo CVT
Both woukd result in 2.5 k our way. Which i figure would pay for a new gearbox.
It took 2 weeks to hone 100,000 cars for sale down to 6 in the whole of the UK.
30 minutes in the company of her sister and her niece last night, and there's a further requirement. None of these people have driven an automatic ever.
I need to find her an automatic with an electronic hand brake. Becuase i need to respect her irrational belief that just putting it in park is not safe.
She has an issue with pain in arm and shoulder so using a handbrake results in pain hence needing an auto.
Try that as a search.
In our price range. Top spec astra from 2011 with all options ticked
And a renault scenic. Same age.
Theres 3 cars with 50 miles we can view. It took me 4 hours to find them.
