What's new

Lol I wish! 2 seconds later it's what about...
:mad3::laughing:
Years ago, I had this exchange w/ a girl I was seeing:

Me: Want to go to La Primavera for dinner?​
She: Ummm . . . I don't know . . . no?​
Me: Where do you want to go?​
She: I don't know.​
Me: Are you hungry?​
She: I'm not sure.​
Me: OK, let's start over - I'm hungry now and I'm leaving in 10 minutes for La Primavera to get a carne asada plate. You're welcome to join me and have their camarones that you love.​
Her: Maybe?​
Me: OK, I'll be in my car in 9 minutes and leaving in 10 - no worries.​

She didn't make it out to the car in time and she was sulking when I got home, but my dinner was awesome & she understood that I won't be held hostage by indecisive bullshit

My problem is the wife is ... Picky? No, she just doesn't really eat different things. Very small circle of things she'll eat.

I can find something I want to eat almost anywhere, so our conversation is usually Her asking me where I want to eat, me saying where we go really doesn't matter I'll find something wherever we end up, where do you want to eat?

I don't know, you pick.

Ok, I want blah blah. Fine you get that and I'll get food from here and we'll just eat at home.

And then the kid gets something from somewhere else too.

Wtf.

She pretty much only eats one flavor of boneless wings from bw3, plain cheeseburgers from wherever, chicken strips.

Sometimes steak, sometimes fried chicken (country style)

No seafood at all.

Eating out anyways. We eat more or less regular foods at home when we cook.

That's my fun too. I've finally stopped giving options. We are going here. What about.... nope:laughing: then I'm an asshole
.. I am an asshole but God damn all I want is dinner, lunch...whatever

See, that's where you have to set a clear "this is what I'm doing" and stick to it - at least once, so she knows you're not bluffing. Implied and demonstrated "I love you honey, but don't fuck with me when I'm hungry (or ever, really)".


It's like it says in those child-raising books: "You leave a kid terrified and crying in the middle of nowhere just one time, and that little motherfucker will get in the damned car every time"

. . . or maybe that^ was my Aunt Isabel :confused: - either way, it's a life lesson :flipoff2::laughing:

That should be pretty easy to accommodate. If you want seafood and she wants chicken strips just get some on the way, plop them on the table at Anthony's or some shit and everyone wins.

My wife doesnt eat meat anymore so finding something has become harder. :homer:
 
Brave or stupid, not sure yet. You think the 3 letter agency's can track ya, you ain't been married long enough....:stirthepot:

BTW, my wife is wonderful and I never have a complaint..........

This type of behavior is how my wife got a rug shampooer for her birthday.

She tells me what she wants now. :laughing:

Sounds familiar but it was my wife being dairy and gluten free for ~5 years. I wasn't about to suggest going to somewhere new. I just told her to let me know when she decided where she wanted to eat...
 
Over the years I have become a big fan of Matt Taibbi. A lefty, but with basic principles I share and respect. His speech here begins at 4:02:00 and is very much worth listening to.

so you share basic principles with a lefty? makes sense. even the devil had a silver tongue. I used to work for someone who thought bill clinton was an elegant speaker. he might sound good but hes full of shit.
