Do they ever listen

[stevewool]

Life has been very good since being married to Ems , but sometimes you think why have I bothered saying anything, take food and eating for instance, eating home made soup and it’s great but what’s that funny taste , is this pumpkin in the soup Ems “no it’s ginger” I hate ginger Ems , yes but I thought you may like it , fancy a sandwich , yes please cheese will do, next minute it arrives , yes there is cheese, ham, onions , tomatoes, lettuce and loads of mayonnaise just too much that it all falls out , Ems I just fancied a cheese sandwich, yes but I thought you may like this , I could go on and on like fat left on my meat , can’t stand fatty meat but still I get it served , I’m thinking she is cooking and making all this food for herself knowing she will have the lions share .

And now there is the listening to what I am saying , well she chooses to listen what she wants too, but it’s funny when you are with friends and as us men are talking together then the wives are all ears wanting to know everything , would I change her , not a chance

It's a good thing they aren't stubborn and bossy Steve.

...And this is one reason why I prepare and cook my own meals (and wash up afterwards).

Selective hearing not just a Pinay trait. I believe it applies to all woman. 🤣

Yes I do to. Sometimes she washes up.

There’s only room for one of those in my marriage and that’s me

I think I've already asked you this, she's not my wife's sister.

My wife no longer asks me what I want to eat.  I ask her "what do you want me to eat for lunch"?   Saves a lot of time and frustration for us both.

Neither my previous nor current wives are guilty of asking me what my preference was for meals and then ignoring what I said - they simply never ask what I want anyway!
