I vote we change the thread title to "Anyone else made poor relationship choices based on poor research or encouraged by genital imperatives and now having to live with the consequences?" Had it had that title from the beginning, I'd never have read all this spineless drivel!

We all KNEW there would be the predictable PH "well it is all your own fault" post at some stage, but I expected it a lot sooner.
This is very much an english thing where men are often hen pecked and trudging along in the relationship whilst being careful not to crack the egg shells. I've been in shops etc. and seen men get treated like s
t by their OH.
Over time this avoiding behaviour actually erodes the relationship, a bit of honesty would be far more beneficial. Mutual respect is what is required, plus the confidence in the relationship so that each of you can other talk openly.
Another thing I've seen in this country is grown men who are over the moon when they 'get a pass for a night out' once every 6 months - I mean WTF.
YOLO does unfortunately apply here!!!

Agreed. Ridiculous. I went to Essen for 3 days last week to Tecno Classica. No permission asked or granted.she knows I am planning a scotland trip again within the next 4-5 weeks and a wales/cornwall trip later in the year
She also knows I am going on a 2 week euro bike trip in sept sometime.
I allow her to flaff and she allows me to go on trips, It works well.
Well, despite the risk of being marked as bein 'hen pecked', here's mine -
Currently decorating the whole upstairs (at Mrs N's behest I should stress!). She's repeatedly bhed about the fact that she's had the kids constantly as a result. When at home, she's repeatedly called me away to 'help' with stuff. She's now complaining that it's taking so long to get done!

For,many years my wife had no problem with me going away..... but I worked offshore so she had no choice, if she still wanted her new shoes, bags and other crap..... 😜🤣Balmoral said:
Have we done 'Getting ready to go to bed' yet?
I go upstairs, get undressed, climb into bed, it takes about as long as it took me to type it. Other half can be faffing around for up to an hour.
I used to get that after I arrived home from a six week stint offshore.... she would be in the midst of cleaning the house for me to get home... but always be halfway through chaos when I arrived.I go upstairs, get undressed, climb into bed, it takes about as long as it took me to type it. Other half can be faffing around for up to an hour.
Then I'd hit the sack, after 36 hours travel, jet lag, and she'd decide she had to go get ready.....an hour in the bathroom as she showered, scrubbed, plucked, waxed and pampered up........
My girlfriend will loudly state "I'm knackered, Im going to go to bed" to which I agree and immediately turn stuff off and head upstairs, teeth brushed and in my PJs in bed within about 5 minutes. Meanwhile she's still sat on the sofa downstairs looking at cats on instagram and when she finally does move she'll spend 10 minutes in the kitchen faffing and making lunch and then another 40 miniutes upstairs moving st around and washing etc by which time I'm dead to the world and have been for about 30 minutes.
She'll then delightfully walk into the bedroom as if I've just got into bed 2 seconds agp and start talking to me.....waking me up so I'm all pissy and wired and can't fecking get back to sleep again. And all this when I have to get up almost 2 hours earlier than her every day!

Then there's the "Just popping out to the shops/whatever" and I'm expecting to hear the door shut on the way out within a minute or two if not immediately, half an hour or so later "I thought you were going out?" "Yes, I am, I'm going now", and she's still not gone out of the door long after that too.

Yes there's a certain amount of faffing in the JJ home but I must be on the lucky side.. Most of the faffing seems to revolve around height of heels 4" or more, colour, style, and jewellery.. Im not complaining
I have to admit that although Mrs M faffs around about some things she's pretty good about fashion crap...last time she wore heels was our wedding (1985), she has never ever worn makeup or lippy and the only item of jewellery she will put on is her engagement ring!Japveesix said:

That is something I could NEVER get my head round with my wife! She'd walk into the bedroom where she knew I was in bed sleeping, and she sing to herself, as she got changed or showered, or start talking to me, or ask me questions......Or she'd get into bed and then put her hand on my shoulder or arm...which would wake me up with a huge start.
She'd then moan about how jumpy I am and suchforth.
Now when I get up in the morning, go get coffee, and then walk back into the bedroom, the slightest noise of the door opening or closing and she'll jerk awake in shock and horror as if I'd thrown firecrackers under the sheets!!
That's okay, when she does it, but if it is me........

Agreed. Ridiculous. I went to Essen for 3 days last week to Tecno Classica. No permission asked or granted.It's usually Friday for me.
Dinner needs to be cooked quickly as we are going out again. So while I'm off getting ready I discover she has:
1. Taken meat out of freezer but just left on side.
2. Then spent 10 minutes chopping varous pieces of veg.
3. Only now return to meat which has warmed up from -18 to -17.9. Place in microwave. Wait a further 10 minutes to defrost.
4. Sort it all out chopping up meat, putting on tray etc..
5. Only then turn oven on. Wait 10 minutes for it to warm up.
6. Finally get stuff in oven.
The concept of critical pathway analysis is completely lost on her.

I think you'll find that they all do that Sir.
^^^ It should state that in the Owner's Manual. 
The girl I am seeing at the moment flaffs about something awful. When over at hers I went into the toilet and christened it. I thought she occupied but no straight after she went in. She was disgusted and told me that I was absolutely stinking. She then went onto have a wee argument with me about respect and how she would never do anything like that in someone else's house. What a wee princess eh.
We later sorted it out and I promised not to give birth in her house again.
