^A few weeks ago I pulled out one of my blue suits that had yellow stripes in it^
I don't think I'd go out with you if you dressed in that.

I have an identical twin and for years our mother dressed us alike until we were almost in high school
Well you didn't grow up having to dress like your sister for years all day every day so you don't understand

If your twin is a sister then she's not your identical twin.
Identical twins are monozygotic and always the same sex.

Try a bit harder next time, 4thtwin

I said that to mean that if my wife had to dress like her sister. Yes, we looked aliked and dressed alike for years and I've told my wife not to color coordinate with me like that because I don't like it but she does it anyway.

Any comment, OP?

"How hard is it to get a group concensus on where everyone wants to eat and call the restaurant and put us down for 15 or 20 people at a certain time? "

It is very hard and complicated to achieve that goal. Are you kidding me? If it that easy, you do it.

Do you love your wife? Do you like her as a person?

Run to marital therapy and she is a saint for putting up with you

I did and 2 phone calls later everything was set. So no, it's not difficult.

this is a long winded wind up...

"how do you think that's gonna go over with her when I only cook enough for me?"

Playing bingo now

She's sent out for a takeaway

Mmmmmm. Onion Bhajis, Lamb Rogan Josh, Basmati rice.
I can smell it now.
Cheers 🍷

Or - perhaps not bother?

No, we hope!

That was to Calli.

Or - perhaps not bother?

TBH, if I were her, I'd be gone by now. That is not a happy woman.

I really don’t believe that anyone checks FB while driving at 70mph.

Crikey. It’s all coming out now.

Sounds to me as though she’s become addicted to gambling and needs treatment. Have you considered that? The more you nag her about the cooking the more she’ll retreat into her gambling habit. If she’s doing it while driving or in church that’s pretty serious.

It is but anytime I even bring it up to her she gets on the defensive. I'm in the passenger seat watching her driving 70 mph checking her facebook. This is about my safety too. In other words I just shouldn't say anything to her about anything. She's a grown woman and if that's what she wants to do then I should have no problem with it. People don't get married to still act single like they don't have to answer to anyone.

Not forgetting she doesn’t “listen to the message” in church.

The further this story goes the less I m buying it

If your wife had such a severe gambling problem I think that would have been your original post not some drivel about her not being a good cook You mentioned she was often on her phone but not a word about gambling

This seems to be growing legs with each posting She’ll be a multi murderer in the next post

Perhaps your marriage has had its day You haven’t said ONE good word about her
She can’t cook
She can’t do housework
she can’t clean or dust
She can’t even chop an onion or prepare a veg
She takes 6 hours to cook a frozen lasagne
She’s a dreadful gambler
She s breaking the law constantly driving whilst on the phone etc etc
Doesn’t sound a loving and lovely marriage does it ?

What do you think of the feedback received so far?

I'm being roasted but I guess I expected that. I'm a guy and a guy shouldn't complain about anything his wife does or doesn't do. "If she won't do it then you do it or just accept that's just the way she is."

Many have suggested I should just cook for myself but how do you think that's gonna go over with her when I only cook enough for me? Suggestions are fine but you also have to take those suggestions one step further to see how they could possibly play out.

This is definitely not about cooking.
I don’t think we are qualified to deal with your marital issues,OP, have you thought of relationship counselling?

Could she possibly hint ANY LOUDER ?
Take her out to dinner for goodness sake!

😂😂😂

I'd go on my own if I were her!!

Yes, I think a man is having a joke here and enjoying winding us up. It is indeed a very long winded post and I can visualise a couple of bored men sitting at a laptop having a good laugh at us grannies clutching our pearls

Trust me, this is no joke. I assure you all this is true.

And even right now we'e in the mix of an argument. We changed cell phone carriers last week (Thurs) and I got a brand new Samsung S22 Ultra and she got the iPhone 14. I had my phone for 3 days and Sunday the mother board in my phone crashed so I lost all my photos, contacts, and everything. Let me tell you I was livid so now I am without a phone until Samsung can possibly fix mine and of course AT&T doesn't have a replacement S22 Ultra at any store in our city. I'll be without a phone for a while. I was more upset that given the 3 days I was able to use the phone I was still logging back into my different apps and things and since I wasn't expecting the phone to crash 72 hours later I hadn't gotten to the point of logging back into Google photos to back up my pics. All my newest granddaughter's birth photos are now gone. Yes I was angry last night that the store nor Samsung seemed to care about all the data I lost but my wife took it that I was yelling at her. So now she wants to keep coming into the bedroom where my work station is located and she wants to talk about how I treated her last night. I told her I wasn't mad at her but I was mad at the situation but still she took it personal. Now my wife will always say how behind she is on her work but at any point in the day I can hear her in the kitchen doing Bingo games instead of working. If she's not doing a game she collecting money from people so that she can host the game hen she does get enough people to play. We watch the baby a few days a week but my wife loves to blame her being behind on work on the baby. She's almost 2 now and she just runs from room to room with me and my wife. She plays with her toys and we have her on schedule to feed and put her down for naps at certain times. However, my wife keeps coming into the bedroom where I am wanting to talk about last night. Look, between working hours we're employees and must work. We can discuss last night when we're both off work. Plus she has a big flat screen TV in the kitchen with her and she's always streaming Netflix or Hulu so that could be a reason she's behind on her work. My wife wants to blame everyone else for her lack of whatever.

We just have issues and the more I discuss them with her the more I'm coming across as a nag.

I have an identical twin and for years our mother dressed us alike until we were almost in high school. I made the decision then to never dress like or match anyone else. Now when I pull my clothes out for church on Sunday my wife will always pull out a matching dress so we can be color coordinated. A few weeks ago I pulled out one of my blue suits that had yellow stripes in it and within 10 minutes my wife pulled out her blue and yellow dress. I waited until she was dressed then I changed suits. She got angry with me saying I just don't want to match with her. Ive told her time and time again that we don't have to match our outfits but she refuses to listen to me. "I think it's cute." Well you didn't grow up having to dress like your sister for years all day every day so you don't understand.

My wife wants to go on vacation but she wants me to plan it. We just got back from TX a few weeks ago. I told her that if she really wants to o come up with a few places to go, places to stay, and some plan on how to pay for it and do you know she refuses to do that. She wants me to do all of that. I'm suppose to take "her" on vacation. "Honey, pack a bag and take a week off work, we're going to FL."

Last week her mom sent out a group text to say that our nephew, her sister's son, was having his baby, our great nephew, christened at their church and she wanted all of us to attend. I told my wife to see if they all wanted to go out to eat after church because I know how her mom is hen the family gets together especially for an occasion like that. She told me she wasn't going to do it because the minute she did her mom would expect her to plan it. How hard is it to get a group concensus on where everyone wants to eat and call the restaurant and put us down for 15 or 20 people at a certain time? My wife hates to do anything where someone could possibly criticize her over it.

lemsip

is your wife on gransnet too?........ if not how did you find the site?

This is an odd post. Why would you think a man would be incapable of finding "Gransnet"? Technology isn't so sophisticated that only females can discover Gransnet and any gender can post also Gran could be a diminutive of Grandpa or Grandma.

No, notgran the question is why would you think OP would go looking for Gransnet?

Could she possibly hint ANY LOUDER ?
Take her out to dinner for goodness sake!

Again, we'll be in church and instead of listening to the message she'll be on FB lining up players for her next game
And some sermons can be soooooo boring.
