if you clean and tidy as you go along it never builds up, that's what we do

harsh but true

You could always say "if you do the cleaning and tidying I'll let you suck it"

ROFLMAO at Stuey

I think it's called the Princess Syndrome bud. Mine has a tendency to suffer from it at certain key moments - I think they all do

true.

Anyway...Blip - does your girlfriend work? If she does, then she needs spare time too, but it seems to me that you work, then you play. She works, then comes home to the housework.

Seems a mite unfair to expect her to do it all.

Squizz

Stuey - write the ad out properly and give it to your lady.

CarpetCleaner

Like I say, the dream bird is the one the plays along like this

"Ok love, do the housework and I'll let you suck it"

She thinks for a minute

"I'll do you a deal, only if you let me swallow"

I know its a little off topic but does anyone remember a program from ages ago about Women drivers. This woman had a red Escort Cosworth with one of the hure whale tales on the back and when she and her boyf went out she drove everywhere. This woman was a little butch to say the least and the guy was as skinny and pathetic as they come (sh*t hope she doesn't frequent this board !)

Instantly thought poor hen pecked f*&ker.

fitzscoob

dont forget, she has a flat head so you have somewhere to stand your fresh pulled pint of lager

what_is_thematrix

Oh obviously hen-pecked if his gf drives him about

^Qwerty^

I've had a couple *moments* with the Mrs, where basically she said she'd had enough of me, etc. etc.

So I sat there on the last one thought for a few seconds and said, "well if you don't like me how I am, and you have known me for long enough, then it's time to call it a day." I was upset, but I didn't see the point in trying to be the person I'm not, as it would only patch things up for a few months at best, and then our relationship would be terminal.

Don't think she was quite expecting that one.

Be fooked if I'm going to be out of the house 12 hours a day, Mon-Fri, only to spend the weekend doing cleaning, DIY, cutting the grass, doing the garden etc. If it came to that, life wouldn't be worth living anyway.

So now, as long as I spend time with her and James, which I actually enjoy anyway so that is not a problem, then I basically do what I want. However she says, she lets me do what she wants, but makes me think that Im doing what I want.... (that's a woman thing)

I'm happy, she's happy, James is happy, so everyone's a winner.

Bravo-do you ever do any work?

CC, nearley mate but not quite, this was last week, went something like this -

Me:
You know that saw you were going to buy me im B&Q last week?

GF:
The electric one for £90?

Me:
Yes, well I've seen one on Ebay, its a bit of a beast - it retails at £580, and he'll chuck in 80 quids worth of transformer.

GF:
How much?

Me:
Brand new it would cost about £650 and its nearley new.

GF:
no, how much?

Me:
£325 - its a bargain! - Will you go halves on it with me?

GF:
Yes, go on, but you will have to pay me back in sex.

ME:
errr, o.k.


ha!, that was last week, and I still havent kept my half of the bargain - more fool her for falling for my shallow empty promises of passion.

Women eh? thick as pigsh1t, but good at driving the hoover.

Its simple, just say your not able/willing to do the 'chore's' requested and get someone in to do them. I remember we had a big blow out on this stuff years ago and my GF then said well lets see you do the ironing,cleaning etc. I said fine I'll make sure all the ironing and house work is done, if you don't hassle me about anything else. I hired a cleaner the next week and a guy came over and picked up our ironing on a Friday and delivered it back on Sunday afternoon. Initially she was pissed off but came round eventually, and it became the norm.I got a bloke to sort out the garden too. then bought a diskwasher, sorted, married 10 years.
Just ask whats she wants, then get it done, it doesn't mean YOU have to do it

CarpetCleaner

she got the painters in

Stueyb

Hmm, ok ill rewrite if you all send me grapes in hospital

Bought my girl a rocket.
"What the bloody hell's that for?"

Sorry, back to thread ...

scoob_babe

If you're both working then you both need time to chill out.
When both of us worked a fair distance from home, it was whoever got in first did the washing up / cook etc. When I worked local and he didn't, I did all the shopping/cooking etc
Now my job entails me driving the Heathrow stretch of the M25 every day whereas the other half works local i.e. 30 minute walk so now its his turn!
We get someone to do the cleaning and have had someone to sort out the garden so we can actually enjoy the size of house and garden without it turning into a chore.

PS - tidy the garage - mad woman!!!!

I don't understand why some couples spend their whole lives trying to get their partner to happily do something they hate.

I love flying and hate gardening... guess what?

After work, I enjoy a pint and hate going to the gym. Yep, right again Well it works for us, as we both go and do what we enjoy then the time we spend together is without conflict and is true quality time.

Freak

Pointless doing something you dont enjoy/like/cant stand

Get someone in to do the cleaning, and she will moan about that
Get someone to pick up the ironing and she will moan
Ask her to do the above- and you get moaned at.

just another symptom of madcowdisease-AKA. F.E.M.A.L.E syndrome

Rule no 1- you cant win.
Rule no 2 - remember rule no 1

Anyone else get this? Woke up to another 'heavy' chat this morning!

GF struggles to comprehend why I don't enjoy doing DIY/gardening/house stuff/etc at the weekend, and consequently look/act miserable when doing aforementioned chores. She gets annoyed that I can't 'pretend' to enjoy this stuff more (for her sake), but then says she would be able to tell that I hate doing it anyway because I'm a crap actor!!!

In truth all I want to do when I'm not working is PLAY - enduro, mountain biking, surfing, etc. - preferably with my mates. I'm crap at doing the 'adult' thing - hate domesticity, routine, chores, serious sh*t, etc. But working hard all week means there is so much pressure at the weekend to fit everything in and keep everyone happy.

If I go out playing then she has to do all the house/garden stuff (and I look selfish), if I stay in and help with the house/garden stuff I get grief for not looking happy enough. Grrrrr!!! I can't win.

This is starting to become a big issue between us as the harder I work, the more domestic sh*t there is to deal with, and the older I get the more precious those moments of pure childlike fun become to me.

I'm 34 (she's 30) - could this be the early onset of a midlife crisis Or am I just a selfish pig??
