Howdy,

:tab This is a hilarious read for those that enjoy relationship humor.

Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About (http://www.thingsmygirlfriendandihavearguedabout.com/)

Adios,

That's a hoot, Scott!

I thought this incident was very telling:

Our sink is blue and we're not talking about it. It happened over a week ago; I was leaning over the sink, brushing my teeth, when I noticed that there was a sort of lazuline patina that had seeped over most of the surface. Margret hasn't mentioned anything about this. Why she hasn't is that she's obviously tried to clean the sink with, well, I don't know, some fluid used for stripping entrenched cerriped colonies from the hulls of submarines or something (they were probably offering three bottles of the stuff for the price of two at Aldi). She is waiting for me to mention it. But I am a wily fox, and will be doing nothing of the sort. I'm no wet-behind-the-ears, naive youth anymore, not by a looooong way, and I can perfectly see the spiked pit the seemingly innocent words, 'Did you know the sink's blue' are covering. It would go - precisely - like this:
Me: Did you know the sink's blue?
Margret: Yes. I did. I used a jungle exfoliant produced by the Taiwanese military to clean it, and it discoloured the surface.
Me: Oooooooo. K.
Margret: Well maybe, just maybe, if you cleaned the sink once in a while...
You see what she did there? Now I'm facing a whole day of 'When did you last...?' Well, not this canny fellow - not this time, my friends.
Our sink is blue and we're not talking about it.


I suspect these two fully deserve each other. :eek: :mrgreen:

However, I really, really hope that it's all a tongue-in-cheek effort by a guy aspiring to be some kind of a humorist because if it isn't, I feel sorry for this couple's children having to grow up in an environment where the hostility between their parents is so thick you can cut it with a knife. That would be very sad. :(

Howdy,

:tab I get the feeling they really do argue but that it is not really hostile. It seems like the guy has simply resigned himself to living with someone that he will never be able to totally understand. But that is not really a bad thing. At least he will never get bored and there will always be something new to keep him challenged, hehe.

Adios,

I hope you're right, Scott. On a similar note, sometimes the bitter remains of a failed relationship shows up in the oddest places:

Good Lord!! :eek: Someone actually paid $860 for that crap! Hehe, I would definitely say that guy is bitter :lol:

Adios,

At least he can spend that $860 somewhere useful like Home Depot. Tools are SO much cooler than beanie dolls. :wink:
