Wives and girlfriend complaints

Jump to new

your not alone on this, so many of my opinions and advice goes straight in one ear and out the other, yet as you said if the advice is from work colleagues or family then it must be the right advice.

but i have actually found a way to turn the tables around by doing reverse psychology seems to work sometimes and i find just listening to the complaints instead of giving advice work wonders

read a fwd email a few years back about how a mens store differ from a woman's store, where a mens store only had 3 levels of needs and wants versus a woman's store that went to 4th level 8th level 10th level and just kept on going and going, which means no matter how much you try you just can't give them enough, the needs and wants are endless.

"Do you know the difference between a wife of ten years and a job of ten years ? - What is it ? - After ten years, job still sucks."

That's actually not so crazy! Fights are a normal part of a relationship, and I believe it can be indicative of passion. A relationship devoid of passion, and a lack of individual thoughts and opinions can often be quite empty

absolutely fights are part of a relationship, you have to let things out instead of just bottling them inside. there is no such thing as a perfect marriage or relationship once you have accepted this, then things will be bearable.

This part happens to me a lot ... I get told what I really think after my inner thoughts have been analysed. What I say isn't what I really think, that would be far too simple.


Now I'll wait for natashia to tell me what I really said just then

incest what?

my young perspective suggests girls are only useful for a few things... hence the planting seeds approach

The way you structured your comment suggested that your intent was to have relations with said "seed" - or, in the very least, to look for younger girls in 20 years time?

Either way, I find it quite distasteful :
 
wife says - when are you going to finish building that deck you started 3 weeks ago ?

husband says - you wanted me to put in your new kitchen bench 2 weekends ago , so that it is in before christmas and last weekend you wanted me to dig the garden so that you could put in your new plants.

wife says - that's no excuse , when are going to finish that deck??? #!@%
 
I am very lucky to have a fantastic wife.

but an ASF relevant complaint

she does not understand that in order to manage large investments, requires a lot of time in front of the computer.

Especially if one desires to actively trade, learn new methods etc.

There isnt too many shortcuts available, and I treat it like a job.

I decided to actively manage, instead of passively, and be bled for fees, so had a steep learning curve that never seems to end.

Have tried numerous times to explain, even the basics, but her eyes glaze over completely even on compound interest, taxation, drawdown etc let alone more advanced concepts.

Even though she is extremely intelligent, and has a well paid occupation, she takes no interest whatsover in matters such as superannuation, tax, or even saving. I have to do all her super, BAS, tax return, investments etc.

its very frustrating...she simply wouldnt lodge a return or contibute to super, unless I did it.

I do insist she has her own bank account, and luckily she is not a high maintenance gal, the other bonus is that it looks like she might earn more than me this year

ps, she simply will never check the oil level in a car either, or notice that she is driving on a low pressure tyre, until it is wrecked
 
Wow. I feel sorry for most of you. I have the greatest wife in the world. I have no complaints at all - because we always sort out our differences before they turn into simmering issues. It wasn't that way early in the piece and it took time and effort and plenty of arguments to reach this point. Been married ten years and wouldn't give away a day of it. As a bonus she's hotter now than the day we met. I wouldn't change a thing about her.

There's no way I can say this without it sounding preachy but I did it myself: the only way to improve a relationship is to change yourself, because guess what...you're not perfect either. If your partner genuinely loves you, they will notice and respond positively and it cycles upwards from there. So be a man and take the initiative.
 
Going into my 5th year of marriage I found myself much wiser than before. There is now a simple rule that I follow...when you find yourself discussing with your wife anything to do with emotions, NEVER offer reason or logic as your response.

Try it...it's illogical, but works like a charm in my experience.
 

Well said. I've happily married thirteen years now.
You don't have to understand them, just love them!

My GF is a great friend also.

But you have to admit even your best mates **** you to tears sometimes, i know mine do...

Aye; however the key is to talk about it and not let it simmer away.

We do pretty well (apart from directions in the car) and she rocks my world.

Happy days.
 

This problem is easily solved.
Just bring your mates home for drinks every night until she gets the message.
Or say you are going out to do your own circuit classes, but neglect to tell her your circuit is actually a pub crawl.
Of course you know she will want more than half of this thread when you get divorced though.
 
Re: Wives & daughters complaints drive me crazy!

Just some of the mind games they play with you, really f#$k's with your head. Why do they do that?

As others have said on this post. You could be trying to prove a point, and correct it is, but if it doesn't fit in their answers box, your s%$t out of luck. However, a colleague might say they same thing as what you said last week and it's perfect repsonse.

WHY DO THEY DO THAT?!?!?!

Why do they close their eyes when you make love ?, because they cant stand to see you enjoying yourself.
