My wife doesn't understand me...

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
My mate said to me one night "You know mate.....my wife's an angel"
"your lucky I replied"........."Mine is still alive"

Looks over shoulder to check where she is oooouuuccchhhh close enough to read this.
 
There is a simple rebuttal series of questions that worked well on my ex wife

1) How many pairs of shoes do you actually need?

2) Why do you buy all that expensive goop to smear on your face when it clearly doesn't work?

3) When you dye your hair, do you actually think you are fooling anyone?

and my favourite

4) ...shouldn't it be up to the person who earned the money?


I don't miss her at all ;)

Oh I like those.. they'll work a treat.
Anyone know the number of a decent divorce lawyer? I'm gonna need one :eek:
 
my wife says she understands me exactly, and she knows why i do what i do, and its because im Chris, and if i did not do these thing i would not be me, and it would be "weird".........

i dont tend to buy much kit but make what i can with bits and bobs, also i tend to, "store" thing i may "need" at some point, and as my wife has just said it really does get on her t***.......

...........lol.............

just get on with it lifes to short.........

chris............................................
 
Oh be fair Toddy - stupid shoes that provide no protection or insulation, endless gunk wrapped in pseudo science at exorbitant prices that doesn't work and other "vanity products"! Hardly a basis for a criticism of profligacy is it?

Anyway I think the one that did it was "no matter how much money you spend, you will never look as good as your daughter does- and she doesn't have to smear all that stuff on" :lmao:
 
Oddly my lovely, beautiful and understanding wife is all for the bushcraft thing, even if I am a complete kit queen. She seems to recognise that if my mid-life crisis comprises a hankering to hang around in the woods then that's got to be better than the porsche/mistress/resignation/move that has characterised this time for some other 40-somethings we know...

I said to mine , that women wear makeup and perfume because they
are ugly and they smell !

Still happily married after 15 years , she took it as the joke it was ment to be .

she asked for an eternity ring for our 10th anniversary, so i said when it felt like an eternity
she would get a ring .

Think my wife is just happy to get me out the road, its when she is just getting out of bed in the morning and i'm rolling in the door covered in mud and sea weed with dead geese she really does dispair at the mess i leave behind me.

Mid life crisis I,d recommend it.
She who must be obeyed, Mrs Neverwrong, the oracle with the last word. You are just a person with wallet bearing thighs, a verbal punchbag with an opinion when allowed. Own up you could never be right put your hand up plead guilty your a man for god,s sake. Say sorry, before they start go for a lenient sentence.
We,ve all been there, then one day , it was my 50th you see the light.

Retired after 32 years from the fire service, a 50 year old . Now going to stay at home doing the housework, cardigan, slippers, gardening and making the wifes dinner.
Aye right, reality is campervan zooming aboot Scotland,7 tattoos since june, mohawk haircut, aye and a bloody big chopper bike to top it off. My daughter a lawyer soon and wife worried sick about my mid life crisis.Thoroughly recommend it because now they now whisper and are terrified I might get a chip pan and electric blanket.
