However it's my fault. During the snow a few years ago it slid into the kerb, apparently I must have bought one with a broken 4wd 
you cant expect her to actually learn to drive in snow? whenever i see a car stuck spinning its wheels going no where on 1mm of snow, its some ditzy woman driving sat 1mm from steering wheel and a look of fear in her face. in the last snow i was overtaking loads of stuck 4x4s driven by
s in my stty FWD car on summer tyres.

She curbed one of alloys on my car...and was annoyed because I was a bit hacked off.
Also she was annoyed with the width of the estate roads, the road sweeper coming the other way...but I had stopped listening by then.
To top it off she said she’ll pay for the repair...it’s not like we don’t pool our funds...ffs
Women are the danglies at curbing alloys. Also she was annoyed with the width of the estate roads, the road sweeper coming the other way...but I had stopped listening by then.

I love looking at all 4x4’s they drive, they seem to be able to get all 4 alloys matching perfectly
I had already done it, but it was less than half an inch. Wasn't really visible.
She did the WHOLE wheel basically.
At the time she was in pieces. But after a few days she turned her attitude to little lamb to attack dinosaur, apparently it was OK because I had "already damaged it".
I gave the comparison to the small chip in her windscreen on her car, and if I took a hammer to the screen and cracked it, would that be OK because it was already chipped.
She said no
I just opened a bag of those large cookies you get from Morrison's, a very nice white choclate chip. I only wanted a half and left the other half in the bag, took a corner from it and offered it to Mrs F, which she took (of course she would).
She retreived the other half from the bag and suggested we warm them in the microwave. 'Ooh' I said, 'Good idea', as I popped them on the microwave plate.
Gave them 10 secs on full, took them out and gave Mrs F the first half, me taking the second piece.
Apparently I'm selfish because I took the larger, second half that she took from the bag. I had to remind her that she ate the piece that's missing on the smaller piece and I hadn't had any yet!
I'm still selfish though.

Don't worry, when you are 3 stone overweight, due to excessive consumption of white chocolate chip cookies, it will be your fault for not being responsible for your own health.
Similarly when she suddenly realises that she's a bit tubby, it will be your fault for forcing unhealthy snacks on her.
Todays, paid the decorator as he was done, invoice was £4.46 over the anticipated amount, all itemised so all good, checked it and transferred the cash.
Let him know I had sent the money. She pulls me aside and said she had heard me saying I had made the payment but we hadnt discussed it. She had been busy and he had been around so didnt want to discuss and not much to discuss anyway. One way or another I was paying him the amount.
But, told off for not communicating, and my pleas that I was going to update her when he had left fell on deaf ears, thing is I paid for it anyway so not sure why she cares how much it cost !
I was paying it quickly as it is good to ensure people are paid in a timely manner, but also as if I left it and it wasnt paid until next week, would have been told off for making him wait, so in heading one moan off, I got another.

You discussed getting a decorator and his quotes before hand. It's like going to the supermarket, buying everything on the list you've jointly put together, and then ringing your wife from the till.

she got caught speeding because I had upset her so she was distracted.
Whereas actually I had been at work all that day.
She was so desperately upset that the very clear photo shows her with the roof down laughing / singing, definitely not unhappy.
To get such a clear picture she must have been right beside the camera, but of course never saw it.
Nor the speedo either, which is so hard to read anyway because I chose a stupid a car with a digital read out

I work 50-55 hours a week plus any unpaid overtime and often don't take much of a lunch, so I'm a bit tired. We are on annual leave this week, not doing much due to Covid. I've slept in till about 9:00 a couple of mornings, lovely. Wife doesn't get it. If I'm not out of bed by 7:30, or 8:00 at a push , usually there's a bit of contention 
Maybe she'll come round when I inevitably burn out.
Similar here. Maybe she'll come round when I inevitably burn out.
I do six on four off. Two early shifts, two lates and two nights. The early shifts kill me. In falling asleep on the sofa from 6.30 normally.
The first rest day after my night shift is a right off. Ill have a few hours kip when I get home and just doze on the sofa for the rest of the day.
She hates this. Always wants me to do something around the house.
This is on top of cooking if I'm home for dinner. Sorting the washing out as she has this f
king annoying skill of putting the towels away when they are still fking wet! Hoover ing
Cleaning the rats cage out
Washing up and drying up
The look I get when I ask her to help do something...'but I'm tired'...yeah same here.
I'm refusing to do the washing up this weekend...i know come Sunday evening when I get home from lates all of her washing up from the weekend will be there still.
Oh also in the dog house as I asked her to move over in bed when she was asleep just now. She was sleeping corner to corner!
And breath...

Oh don't even get me on the "I've moved so everyone else must move and do something schtick".
Oh yes. There’s me, on the sofa, watching back-to-back Bangers and Cash, chilling after a 60+ hour week. But oh no, ‘’don’t be so lazy’’..., apparently we need to go for a walk / take some exercise / sort the garden out etc. etc. A comment of ‘’you’ve had all week to do that whilst I was at work’’ is, it would appear, not all conducive to on-going marital harmony.Whenever I decline a polite and thoughtful invitation from my wife, quite naturally she gets upset. Would you like to hear an example of one of these "invitations"? They generally go like this. "Would you like to rake up the grass I cut in the field last weekend?" Because finishing off someone else's half-baked job is something I might very well like to do. She is in fact sacrificing the pleasure of doing it herself by offering to let me do it. Would I like to unblock the shower drain? Would I like to go fill the log baskets? Etc, etc. If you need help, ask for it. If I need to do something, tell me to do it. Don't pretend it's a bloody invitation. And if I gently try to point that out ...

Very similar here, my fault for having a car that’s too fast. Also when I challenged her that she should have been looking at both the speedometer and the camera van, she was ‘busy talking’.Whereas actually I had been at work all that day.

Todays moan was for not shutting the door on the shoe cupboard, I left it slightly ajar as wasnt sure on whether the paint had fully dried so thought would give it until moaning, sorry morning.
1. My wife left my daughters birthday presents in the kitchen. My fault.
2. I took the afternoon off to do some outdoor jobs. In her head I should have prioritised emptying the dishwasher, which finished at an unspecified time this afternoon. I just have.
3. Apparently I didn't put enough water in the saucepan for the fresh pasta. So my wife topped it up, with a litre or so of ice cold water. This extended the cooking time from 3 remaining minutes, to about 15. I don't need to say who's fault it was the garlic bread and chicken were slightly dry.

My wife left the back door unlocked, and her keys in the door.
Apparently it was entirely my fault and I should take our security more seriously.
Mine was annoyed with me because I locked the door on the way out, and she had to unlock it when she needed to go back in for something she forgot.Apparently it was entirely my fault and I should take our security more seriously.
